S41 sounds great, even when placed next to a wall or on a shelf. For best performance, leave at least 1" (2.5 cm) of space around the back of the speaker. If you’re mounting it within 2 ft (.61 m) of a ceiling, place it upside down for the best sound.
A universal microphone switch on the back of S41 turns all microphones on and off. A voice services button on top of S41 turns voice services on and off without affecting the microphones needed for Trueplay and other microphone-dependent features.
