Speaker Placement - Creative FourPointSurround FPS2000 Digital User Manual

Speaker Placement

The front left and front right satellites
should be placed to the sides of the
monitor. When placing satellites on
the desktop, install the desktop
stands. If you wish to save desktop
space, use the hook and loop fasteners
to attach the satellites to the sides of
the computer monitor (see page 15).
If your are lucky enough to have
side walls close to your listening
position, excellent placement for the
left rear and right rear satellites is
alongside or behind your listening
position, slightly above ear level (use
the hook and loop fasteners, see
diagram A). Do not be concerned if
this is not practical, since any rear

satellite placement to the left and right
side of the listening position will
provide strong directional and
surround effects.
The rear satellites may be installed
on their convenient floor stands (see
diagram B). When listening, the
stands should be positioned to the
immediate left and right of your
listening position. The stands are
small enough to be stowed underneath
or alongside a desk when not in use.
The rear satellites may also be
placed in any convenient sites
alongside the listener, including sites
slightly forward of the listening
location. The rear satellites do not have
to be at exactly the same height, nor at
the same height as the front satellites.
Try the extreme corners of a desk using
the desktop stands (C) or attach the
rear satellites under a desktop or at the
sides of a desk using the hook and loop
fasteners (D).
The subwoofer does not contribute to
directional sound effects. Its optimum
position is on the floor against the wall.
The closer the subwoofer is to the
corner, the stronger the maximum
bass output. Alternately, it can be
placed on a shelf or other sites, but its
maximum output will be reduced.
