Optimum Speaker Placement
LEFT
SPEAKER
For
best performance place the speakers equidistant from the computer.
Begin with UCubes aimed straight ahead and slowly turn them
in
towards
you
(also
known
as
toe-in).
Find
just the right balance of truly startling focus
and
the width of the overall sound. You'll
be
surprised to hear that sound
doesn't seem to come from the UCubes but from
all
around!
