Placement of Satellites and Subwoofer
The subwoofer contains no channel specific information and
its sound is non-directional. As a result, the subwoofer does
not necessarily have to be placed in any particular
relationship to the satellites. Placing the subwoofer on the
floor close to a wall or corner of a room provides maximum
bass efficiency.
The subwoofer is not magnetically
shielded and should not be placed near video
displays.
The satellite speakers are magnetically shielded and can be
placed close to the computer monitor without distorting the
video image.

Description
The ADA305 is a Pro Logic powered surround sound speaker
system composed of two satellite speakers and a subwoofer. The
unique design of the speakers makes it possible to obtain
SURROUND sound without having to mount speakers on side and
rear walls.
The ADA305 can function with computers that have a sound card
or a headphone output for a CD player. All basic amplifier functions
can be controlled by manual controls located on the top panel of
the right speaker satellite.
You do not need a USB equipped
PC to use the ADA305. If your computer IS NOT USB
equipped refer to connection instructions on page 5 of
this manual.
Computers that are USB (universal serial bus) equipped can control
all speaker functions from the computer desktop. The USB output
makes it possible to control all functions of the ADA305 with a GUI
(graphic user interface) that shows a representation of the amplifier
and speakers on the computer screen. Audio Management
Software is provided to operate the GUI for computers that have a
Windows 95 USB Supplement.
If your computer IS USB
equipped refer to connection instructions on page 4 of
this manual.
An audio sensing circuit turns the unit on. If no audio signal is
present at the input of the amplifier for a prolonged period, the unit
turns off automatically.
