Installation

Before installing the product, please take the following factors into consideration when choosing a location for the speaker system.

Where do you want the sound to be projected for the best audio experience?
Where is the best place for the sound technician to check the speaker system?
Where will the subwoofer/amplifier be located for easy access to the control panel?
- Make sure the speaker system is placed in a dry, well-ventilated location on a stable surface that can support the weight of the system.

IMPORTANT!
