Opsætning
1. Højttalerplacering
Optimal speaker placement is crucial for achieving the best surround sound experience. Consider the following guidelines:
- Forreste venstre og højre satellitter: Place these speakers equidistant from your listening position, typically on either side of your monitor or TV.
- Centerkanal-satellit: Position this speaker directly in front of your listening position, usually above or below your monitor/TV, ensuring dialogue is clear and centered.
- Bageste venstre og højre satellitter: Place these speakers behind your listening position, ideally slightly to the sides, to create an enveloping surround effect.
- subwoofer: The subwoofer can be placed anywhere in the room, but often performs best when positioned in a corner or near a wall to enhance bass response. Ensure it is at least 2 feet away from your PC or monitor due to its powerful magnet.

Ensure that the positive (+) wire (often marked with a stripe or color) from the speaker connects to the red (+) terminal on the subwoofer, and the negative (-) wire connects to the black (-) terminal. Incorrect polarity can result in poor sound quality.
