Proper speaker placement is crucial for optimal sound quality. Position the speakers on a stable, flat surface, ideally at ear level when seated. For a balanced stereo image, place the speakers equidistant from your listening position, forming an equilateral triangle. Ensure there is adequate space behind the speakers for ventilation and cable connections.

The active speaker (with the volume knob and inputs) typically serves as the left channel, and the passive speaker as the right channel. Verify this based on the rear panel markings.
