SoundWorks With A Computer

Place the cubes, 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 (see text). The
cubes may also be attached to the sides of the
monitor with the "hook & loop" strips provided
(instructions on page 12).
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 (see text to the right). The
subwoofer is not magnetically shielded, and
must be at least 18 inches from the monitor
to prevent distortion of the picture.
• Have a clear line of sight from
your listening position to
the cubes.
• The ear cannot localize low-bass,
which is why the subwoofer can
go on the floor, out of sight. The
bass port (the hole above 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, away from the acous-
tic support that the floor and wall
give low-bass.
• On the other hand, if the sub-
woofer 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.
