Attaching The Stands; Speaker Placement - Creative SoundWorks Digital FPS 2000 User Manual

Attaching the Stands

Make sure that the speaker wire is
attached to the satellites before you
attach the stands to the satellites.

For any desktop applications, the
satellites should be attached to their
stands. Install each stand by inserting
it into the slot in the back of each
satellite cube (see diagram E).

Speaker Placement

Place the satellites, which are
magnetically shielded, on the small
stands to either side of the monitor,
aimed straight ahead. Do not angle
them inward to fire directly at you.
The satellites may also be attached to
the sides of the monitor with the
hook and loop strips provided (see
diagram G). Have a clear line of
sight from your listening position to
the satellites.
Place the subwoofer on the floor
under your desk or workstation, back
against the wall. Do not place it up
on the work surface or a shelf, which
could result in disappointing bass
performance. The subwoofer is not
magnetically shielded and must be at
least 18 inches from the monitor to
prevent distortion of the picture.
F
The ear cannot localize low bass,
which is why the subwoofer can go
on the floor, out of sight. The bass
port (the hole on the side of the
control panel) must be at least 2
inches from the nearest surface.
If you can't place the woofer on
the floor against a wall as shown, the
bass level control will compensate.
Try turning it up if you place the
subwoofer up on a shelf, where it is
away from the acoustic support that
the floor and wall give low bass.
On the other hand, if the
subwoofer sits in a corner on the
floor, it may sound bass-heavy. In
this case, try turning the bass level
control down.
Set the bass level control for best
bass balance, then forget it. It is not
intended to be adjusted regularly to
compensate for differences in
recordings.
