Installing Hardware 2-12
Positioning Your
Speakers
If you are using four speakers, place them so that they form the
corners of a square with you exactly in the center (Figure 2-12)
and that they are angled toward you. Be sure that the computer
monitor is not blocking the path of your front speakers. You
may want to adjust the relative positions of the speakers until
you get the audio experience you like best. If you have a
subwoofer, place the unit in a corner of the room for the best
bass experience.
