How to Arrange Computer Speakers

Video Transcript

"Hi, I'm Pete D'Alessandro with Expert Village. We're still reorganizing a computer, and still placing everything we need from the computer parts, peripherals and the speakers. This is a very standard sub-woofer for a three piece speaker system. This can really go anywhere. Where should it go? It can fit anywhere, and anywhere the cord will reach, great. But what we really need to worry about is getting this out of the way, because the sound won't be impeded because of the nature of the sound it puts out, by anywhere we put it. You can stick this under your bed for the most part, and the sound isn't going to be affected. The sub should go out of the way as much as possible because we don't need to access it, so we kick it all the way back as much as we can. Again, we're going to wire this later, but that's the one speaker that doesn't really matter where you place it. Now the other speakers are going to matter a little bit more. One's going to be right, one's going to be left. The reason that is, it does change the dynamic of the sound a little bit. So, if you want as best sound as possible, try to get them wide, as far apart as possible. Your ears will actually attune to how the speakers are set up, and as far away as they are, your ears can tell what's more right, what's more left. It will actually sound better to get them wider. If you don't have the space, there's really nothing wrong with putting them like that. I don't really recommend putting them on one side of your head, like so, because you're not really going to hear anything. You're going to basically here mono sound instead of stereo sound, so you wasted some money on speakers. So keep something like this as wide as they can, and it will get you a little better quality for the sound you have and what you're actually purchasing already."
