Front left and right speakers
The goal for these is to create a sound image wider than the screen that seems natural to
viewers sitting anywhere in the room.
• Place these two front speakers on either side of your TV.
• Keep them from 6 feet (2 m) to 15 feet (5 m) apart (as shown in Figure 2 on page 5).
Center speaker
Sound from the center speaker should seem to come from within the picture to give the most
realistic performance of on-screen action and dialogue.
• Place the center speaker above, on top of, or below your TV. Do NOT rest the weight of the
TV on the speaker.
• Keep the speaker in line with the vertical center of the screen, if possible, for the most
accurate reproduction of dialogue (as shown in Figure 2 on page 5).
CAUTION: Before placing the center speaker on top of your television, attach the four supplied
rubber feet to the bottom of the speaker. Position two of the feet near the front edge and close
together on the bottom surface. Place the other two feet at the rear outer edges on the bottom.
Rear speakers
While the rear (surround) speakers may deliver some dialogue, they serve primarily to
deliver discrete sounds and special effects that expand the visual image. They help bring the
viewer into the center of the action.
Choose locations that are practical and convenient, while considering these recommended
guidelines:
• Position the left and right rear speakers so they can deliver sound on both sides of the
viewer, rather than from directly behind (as shown in Figure 2 on page 5).
• Place these speakers at the same height as the ears of a seated viewer or higher.
• For the Acoustimass ® 10 system, rotate the top and bottom sections of the rear cube
speaker arrays to direct the sound to the front and back of the listener (see Figure 3 on
page 7).
• For the Acoustimass 6 system, aim the rear cube speakers slightly behind the listener or
reflect the sound off the rear wall (see Figure 2 on page 5).
