Speaker Configuration; Bass Management - Creative Sound Blaster ZxR User Manual

Creating Your Audio 'Sweet Spot' with the Sound Blaster Speaker
Setup
Generally, for a 5.1 speaker configuration, there is an ideal speaker placement that allows you to
position yourself in the audio sweet spot, giving you the best surround and audio pleasure possible.
Please refer to Positioning Your Speakers or your speaker system documentation for details on the
recommended placement.
Often, however, we may be unable to place our speakers ideally due to physical constraints such as
room size and object placements etc. Hence, the Sound Blaster ZxR audio cards come bundled with the
Sound Blaster Speaker Setup application. Simply launch this application from the Sound Blaster Z-
Series Control Panel ( icon found in Speakers/Headphones settings), or your Windows start menu
and adjust the settings to create a virtual speaker placement.

Speaker Configuration

Here you can configure your current speaker system and also conduct sound tests to check your setup.

Bass Management

Direct bass audio to your subwoofer using the various configuration options found in this tab. You can
perform a base test to monitor for frequencies that drop as the tone sweeps from your front speakers to
your subwoofer. Adjust as desired.
