Positioning the speakers
Proper positioning of the speakers will allow you to experience the audio surround effects
that your Companion
®
5 multimedia speaker system is designed to deliver.
• Place the left and right speaker to the left and right of your computer monitor at about an
arm’s length
away from where you are seated (Figure 2). The bead on each speaker cord is
marked L (left) or R (right) to identify left/right placement.
• For optimum performance, position each speaker the same distance from you, and no
mo
re than
24 inches (61 cm) apart.
• Aim both speakers straight ahead. Do not angle them inward or outward.
• Keep the speakers away from adjacent large objects or cabinet surfaces. For example, if
your computer
desk includes a hutch, keep the outside edge of each speaker at least six
inches away from any adjacent surface. Avoid placing the speakers inside cubby holes.
