Placement
Speaker Placement and Home Theater
Remember that the primary goal of a good home theater is not to make you
believe that you are in a movie theater. It’s to make you believe you’re in the
movie. For a home theater system, place the FS-7.1 speaker either above or
below your flat screen display, centered horizontally. See Figure 2.
The FS-7.1 can be used as a set-top or shelf-mounted speaker. Self-adhesive
rubber feet are included to prevent vibration, protect the mounting surface
and serve to angle the speaker up or down if needed.
You may also simply mount the speaker to the wall using the built-in key-
hole brackets or attach it to a suitably equiped articulating flat-panel TV wall
mount via the threaded inserts on the rear panel of the FS-7.1.
Above
or
Below
FS-7.1
should be
placed as close to ear level as
possible. For best surround effect,
it should be within 6-10 feet of a
reflecting side wall.
Subwoofer
placement is
dependent on room
size and shape.
Experiment to find a
location that
produces the
smoothest response.

CAUTION:
Because of the high quality components used, the FS-7.1
speaker is very heavy for its size and care must be used when hanging it. Be
sure to use a strong screw to drive into the wall, one whose head and shaft
will fit properly within the keyhole opening and slot. Also be sure to drive
the screw directly into a stud or to use a mounting device (such a molly-
bolt) that is capable of safely holding the speaker’s weight. Never simply
drive a nail or screw into sheet rock or other wall materials, as this mount-
ing method may not be sufficient to safely support the weight of the speaker.
NOTE:
Always consult a knowledgeable installer regarding the proper
mounting hardware to use with your speakers. Mounting the speaker
safely and securely is the responsibility of the owner.
See Figures 3 and 4 on next page for mounting instructions.
