Listening to Your System:

All high quality speaker systems benefit from a running-in period on normal music sources.

To optimize the sound quality from your system:

• Sit in a comfortable position at the computer desktop. Take time to test the listening environment

• The system will perform at it’s best by using music CDs with wide frequency content and spacious left-to-right imaging.

• The driver used in the subwoofer will change it’s characteristics subtly over the first two weeks of use as the suspension of the cone will

loosen up slightly, producing a trace more warmth to the overall sound texture.

• Adjust speaker placement and Bass Volume for the most realistic imaging and tonal balance by listening to several different musical

selections and game or computer sound effects.

• For optimum acoustic performance, we recommend that you place your satellite speakers at least 6-8” from rear walls to reduce unwanted

reflections that can muddy your sound. Bass frequencies may be enhanced or exaggerated by placing your subwoofer close to a wall or

corner. Please feel free to experiment with the system’s location to obtain the most pleasing effects.

• Edifier couples incredible technology with an amplified subwoofer to generate smooth deep bass, crystal clear highs, and enough power to

ensure that your personal listening experience allows you to hear what you have been missing!
