USING MULTIPLE PAIRS OF SURROUND SPEAKERS
Some listeners prefer multiple pairs of surround speakers. In
very large rooms, this is certainly desirable and may even be
necessary. Multiple speakers can make a dramatic improvement
to provide a broader and deeper surround effect.
When using multiple pairs of surround speakers, a symmet-
rical installation pattern works best. For example, one pair could
be placed on the back wall of the room, equidistant from the back
corners, with a second pair against the side walls of the room,
equidistant from the same back corners. See Figure 9. Of course,
in most living environments, a completely symmetrical pattern
may be difficult if not impossible, so we recommend that you
follow a straight forward approach.
Here are some suggestions. If your receiver or processor
has outputs for both side and rear speakers, place the left side
speaker in the left side of the room, forward from the back wall.
Place the left rear speaker in the left rear area of the room near
or against the back wall. Place the right channel speakers using
the same guidelines. If your receiver or processor has only one
set of surround channel outputs for each channel, connect both
left speakers to the left output and both right speakers to the right
output. If you have a single rear center surround channel, then
place the speaker directly behind the listener. See Figure 10. As
always, please feel free to call the M&K factory if you have any
questions.
6. COLUMN SURROUND ASSEMBLY OPTIONS
You have two assembly options with your Column Surround speakers. By mounting them to the provided
free-standing base, you can locate them virtually anywhere in a room and move them with ease. You can also
mount them permanently using the included bracket that attaches to the baseboard at the bottom of any wall.
When mounted on the free-standing base, the speaker can sit against a wall, in the open, and even under
furniture such as chairs, couches, and tables. The baseboard bracket takes up a minimum of floor space and
can also be used to mount the speaker behind furniture located near the wall.
