speaker points toward the front of the room and the other points toward the back.
Connect the amp's left and right surround and rear channels to the appropriate speakers.
7.1-Channel Rear Placement Using One Speaker
(Fig. 2e)
Center one ML-62i behind the listening area with tweeters positioned toward the left and
right sides of the room. Connect the amp's left and right rear channels to the speaker.
Placement Options (Aimable ML-67i Speaker)
ML-67i speakers are optimized for use in rooms with ceiling heights ranging from 8–9
feet (2.4–2.74m). Point the tweeters toward the primary listening position. For overall
clarity and balanced bass performance, these speakers should be mounted in the ceiling
12 inches (30 cm) or more from the wall, as shown in Figs. 3a to 3f.
Left/Center/Right Placement (Fig. 3a & 3b)
Follow the general guidelines for speaker placement provided at the beginning of
the main section keeping in mind the distance from the front speakers to your primary
listening area should be 10–14 feet (3–4.3m), as shown. Point the drivers toward the
primary listening position.
Non-Direct Radiating Surround/Rear Placement
These speakers are also ideal for use as surrounds and rears. Aiming the speaker so sound
bounces off the walls creates an enveloping, reverberant sound field. Keep in mind that
speakers should be mounted 12 inches (30 cm) or more from the wall.
