Setting up your ProActive 5.1system:
Satellite speakers
Before attaching the cables, position two satellite
speakers on either side of your computer monitor
or television about the same distance from each
other as from you. Angle them to face you.
Place the rear speakers behind you and about the
same distance apart as the front speakers. You
may want to mount these speakers on the wall. If
so, simply loosen the screws on the stands and
rotate the stands 180°. Mount the speakers using
appropriate wall anchors through the holes in the
stands.
For a pro-audio look, remove the cloth grilles by
pulling them straight off. Removing the grilles will
not affect sound quality.
Center channel
Depending on your configuration, place your
center channel speaker on your desk (angled up), on top of your monitor or television (angled
down), or wall-mounted (angled down). To angle the speaker down for placement on top of your
monitor or television, remove the screw, rotate the stand 180 degrees, and reinsert the screw. To
wall mount the speaker, remove the screw and mount the stand through the other hole on the
bottom of the speaker.
Subwoofer
Because bass frequencies are non-directional, the subwoofer can be placed anywhere in relation to
the other speakers. To ensure optimum sound quality do not block the driver or the bass port. To
achieve the strongest bass, place the subwoofer near a wall, corner or under a desk.
Note: Please ensure adequate ventilation around the subwoofer. Keep the cooling fins on the back of
the subwoofer at least 3 inches away from any object. For your safety, the ProActive 5.1 system is
protected by a thermal overload switch, which will cause the system to shut down if it becomes too hot.
In rare circumstances where the ambient room temperature is high, the unit can shut down. If this
occurs, turn off the system and allow it to cool. Increase the ventilation around the system before
turning the power back on.
