Optimizing The Sound Of Your System; Mounting The Satellites - Creative Four Point Surround FPS1000 User Manual

Optimizing The Sound Of Your
System
Have a clear line of sight from your
listening position to the satellites. This
prevents their higher frequencies from
being blocked. It is not necessary for
each satellite to be aimed directly at
the listener.
The relative strength of low bass
depends on how close the subwoofer
is to intersecting room surfaces. The
most bass output results from the
subwoofer placed on the floor in a
corner. The least bass output results
with the unit positioned away from
any corners or walls.
Once you have adjusted the
subwoofer level control, leave it in
that position. It should not be used to
compensate for differences in
recordings or games.

Mounting The Satellites

To a flat surface:
To mount the satellites the side of a
monitor or other flat surface, use
the self-adhesive "hook and loop"
fastener squares.
To the wall:
To wall-mount the cubes on
structurally strong surfaces (a wall
stud or wood panelling), screw the
No. 10 screws into the material.
Allow their heads to protrude about
1 / inch to fit into the keyhole slots

Hook and loop fastener mounting
on the back of each cube (as shown
below).
The plastic anchors supplied will be
needed to secure the screws in most
wall surfaces. If so, drill 1 / inch holes
4
in the wall, then tap the anchors into the
holes until they are flush with the wall.
Then screw the screws into the anchors
1
until they protrude about / inch.

Be sure to apply the stick-on rubber
feet to the back of the satellite cubes.
This assures an acoustically secure
installation.
