POSITIONING THE SPEAKERS
By connecting up to 8 speakers (a 7.1 system consisting of 7 speakers and a subwoofer) to your
Gamesurround Fortissimo III 7.1 card, you can benefit from Dolby Digital EX sound, available on
the latest DVDs. It is essential that you position the speakers correctly if you wish to fully benefit
from this audio revolution.
Place both monitor speakers on either side of the monitor and position the central speaker on top
of the monitor. If possible, these three speakers should be placed at the same level.
The position of the subwoofer is not as important; we simply recommend that you place it on the
floor (for example underneath your desk) to enable a better bass frequency diffusion.
Place the rear speakers on either side of you (i.e. on either side of your chair) and slightly to the
rear (but not behind you). Turn the speakers toward you, not towards the monitor. We also
recommend that you position the rear speakers at about one meter above your head to create a
real surround-sound effect.
Position the center rear speakers behind you, turned towards you and on the same level as the
rear speakers.
