Speaker Placement

1.) Gently remove the Mini Dragons from their shipping packaging, checking to ensure 
they have arrived safe and sound.

2.) Clear two 5”x7” footprints on your level desktop/table or secure speakers stands.  The 
Mini Dragons work best when “toed” into the listening position, so please ensure there is 
sufficient room to angle the footprint of their bases inward toward the listening position.

3.) Position yourself in the intended listening position relative to your sitting/standing 
desk/speaker stands.

4.). Using a tape measure, extend the tape from your left ear to the center of the Mini 
Dragon speaker grill positioned on your left.  Note the distance of the measuring tape.

5.) Using the included Allen/Hex key, adjust the angle of the mini dragon speakers to 
achieve 90 degree right angle from the grills to the tape measure extended to your ears in 
the listening position

5.a)

Insert the short end of the right angled Allen/hex key into either Allen/hex 
nut of  the Adjustable Mini Dragon Base.

 5.b.) Turn the screw counter-clockwise to loosen
 5.c.)  Turn the screw clockwise to tighten.

 
6.) Check to ensure the adjusted base angles of the Mini Dragon speakers are the same 
by placing them next to one another and checking that the frames align flush.  The two 
speakers should now be locked at the same angle relative to the desk and listening head 
position.

7.) Repeat step #4 using the included tape measure to extend the tape from your right ear 
to the center of the Mini Dragon speaker grill positioned on your left.  Ensure that the 
distance from your right ear to the right speaker is the same as from your left ear to the 
speaker positioned on your left. 

8.) Repeat step #4 using the tape measure to extend the tape from the center of your 
listening position to your subwoofer position below your desk.  
9.) The Mini Dragons should now be positioned on a level surface symmetrically 
equidistant from your listening position with the same adjusted base angle.

 

10.) Repeat step #4 using the tape measure to extend the tape from the center of your 
listening position to your subwoofer below the desk.
