to For stronger bass response The mast accurate bass response results Ni when the speakers are set less than 18 inches (45 cm) away from the wall behind them, and more than 18 inches from the floor or ceiling. Avoid placing the speakers exactly halfway between the floor and ceiling. If your music system seems to be lacking in deep bass, try moving the speakers closer to the wall behind them and/or nearer to the corners of the listening room. Heavy, "booming' bass can be softened by moving the speakers away from corners and walls. For use with video The 2.2' speakers are suitable for video sound applications. Place one speaker on either side of your N screen, at least 24 inches from the screen to avoid picture interference.
