5. SPEAKER SYSTEM PLACEMENT
• Installation of STUDIO speaker system graded as Hi-Fi
(High Fidelity) class system is one of the most important
factors in achieving the best sound of the system. One
should know that location of speakers affects tonal
balance, intensity and quality of bass components, sound-
stage depth and width, midrange sounds transparency. On
the one hand, the closer the speakers are placed to walls
and corners, the more powerful the sound of the bass
components is. On the other hand, the farther the speakers
are located from walls, the better the soundstage depth is
rendered. Angular position and height of speakers’ location
in relation to the listener affect the timbral balance
formation (especially, treble), soundstage width, and
acoustic image focusing. Therefore speakers are best
located along the shorter wall of the room. The listener and
the speakers should be located in the corners of an
isosceles triangle as shown in the scheme, Fig.1 where
optimal Aand partial Bstereo effect zones are shaded.
Angular position and height of the speakers’ location in
relation to the listener should be defined by experiment.
The axes of the speakers should not intersect within the
area where the listeners are located.

Connecting the MSS to audio sources
STUDIO Hi-Fi Multimedia Speaker System 2.0 can be connected to virtually any audio source (see
Fig. 5).
• Before connecting, make sure that the MSS is unplugged.
• To connect the MSS to a CD/DVD/MP3 player, use the included 2RCA to 2RCA stereo signal
cable. Connect the RCA-jacks of the signal cable to the CD input (f, Fig. 3) of the active speaker
rear panel, and then to the CD/DVD/MP3 player outputs. If your player has mini-jack inputs, use a
2RCA to mini-jack (Ø 3.5 mm) stereo signal cable or a mini-jack to 2RCA adapter (not included).
• To connect the MSS to a PC sound card, use a 2RCA to mini-jack (Ø 3.5 mm) stereo signal cable
or a mini-jack to 2RCA adapter (not included). For this, connect the RCA jacks to RCA PC input (g,
Fig. 3) of the active speaker rear panel, and the mini-jack – to the sound card output.
• To connect the MSS to a USB port of your PC or laptop, use the USB cable included in the
package contents. In order to do this, attach the USB cable connector to the USB input (e, Fig. 3)
on the active speaker rear panel, and insert the other connector of the USB cable to an available
USB port of your PC or laptop. The MSS has a built-in high quality USB DAC providing clear sound
transmission via a USB cable.
• Two microphones can be connected to the MSS: the 1st one – to the mic 1 input (o, Fig. 2) on
the control panel and the 2nd one – to the mic 2 input (a, Fig. 3) on the active speaker rear panel. A
guitar can be connected to the guitar input (p, Fig. 2) on the control panel, headphones – to
