Setup notes
Note
Our website contains comprehensive notes for correct setup.
• The location of the subwoofer can be freely selected and does not influence the other speakers. However, do not place it in the corner of the room as this may result in irregular frequency overloads. A location between the front speakers is often ideal.
• Select a stable, level base.
• Make sure that the speaker has a stable position to prevent vibrations.
• Make sure that the environment is clean and free from dust.
• Avoid placing the unit close to sources of heat or in direct sunlight.
• Do not place any heavy objects on the cables or the speakers.
