F C E

Place the front speakers to the sides of the monitor or screen and as flush with the screen surface as possible.

/ Subwoofer

The position of the subwoofer is not so critical, because low bass sounds are not highly directional. But it is better to place the subwoofer near the front speakers. Turn it slightly toward the center of the room to reduce the wall reflections.

>>Caution

yy Do not stack the speakers and be careful that the speaker should not fall down. Otherwise it may result in the speaker malfunction and causing personal injury and/ or property damage.

yy Make sure to install the speaker with other people in order to prevent it from falling and causing injuries to the installer.
