We will help you determine the optimal speaker locations sonically speaking, but you will need to look for the
clues that indicate problematic behind-the-wall obstructions. For example, in-wall wiring often runs straight
up or straight out from lights, outlets, switches etc. The same is true of ducting running to vents.
Once you’ve zeroed in on specific placements for your speakers, mark the spots with tape so, as you move from
location to location, you can make adjustments if needed when you get to the next step.
Front Three Speakers Placement:
The ideal in-wall set-up would be three L6-IW speakers, all mounted vertically,
serving as left, right and center channel speakers. The left and right speakers would be at the same height as
the listeners’ ears and TV (about 40” off the floor) and separated by 45° to 60° (when viewed from the seating
position). The in-wall center channel speaker would be mounted vertically directly above the TV, although below the
TV (mounted upside-down) also works well.
Sometimes, real-world circumstances won’t allow for this ideal in-wall placement. L6-IW speakers work almost as
well mounted horizontally. L6-IC speakers, with their aimable tweeter, will work fine in nearly all ceiling locations.
If your TV backs up to a wall, the L6-IC’s will sound best about 24” in front of that wall. If there’s no wall behind
your TV, place these three speakers in the same vertical plane as the TV.
