Setup and Care
Creative SXFI CARRIER is designed to be placed on top of a console in front of a TV or to be wall mounted. For
optimum performance, please observe the setup recommendation below. Wall mount information for professionals
are also included in this quick start guide
1. In order to reproduce an immersive sound experience, the soundbar radiates sound from the front, top, and
sides. To yield the best sound experience, please ensure that these sound waves are not obstructed by objects
placed in their path. Do not place the soundbar within an enclosed fixture (cabinet, shelving unit, etc.), and
ensure that nothing is obstructing the sides. The top firing speakers require a clear line of sight to the ceiling as
well.
2. The best sound quality is achieved if the height of the soundbar is as close as possible to the level of your ear
when seated at the listening position. Avoid positioning the soundbar too low that you are looking down at the
top of the main unit, as this will disrupt the audio and surround sound performance. If you are wall mounting the
soundbar, install it with 15 cm (6”) of space between the top of the soundbar and the bottom of the TV to avoid
obscuring the top firing speaker.
3. Avoid placing the soundbar on metal cabinets, as they tends to audibly ring, and could prevent reliable wireless
communication between the soundbar and subwoofer.
4. For the best listening experience, the listening position should be at least 1.2–1.5m (4–5 ft) away from the
soundbar.
5. The subwoofer unit is best placed at the corner of the room closest to the soundbar. This placement tends to
yield the maximum output and smoothest response in most rooms. The cloth grille covered subwoofer driver
should be at least 10 cm (4”) away from the nearest wall.
