■ ■
■ ■

is installed in kitchen) the shower and easily answer the door)
Select speaker location with the following considerations:
• Choose location where open doors or
furniture will not cover the speakers.
• Do not locate speaker in an outside wall,
except for speakers intended for outdoor
use. Insulation and temperature changes
may adversely affect the speaker’s
performance and life unless it has
been designed for outdoor use.
• Do not locate speaker in a sauna.
Extreme heat and moisture will
adversely affect the speaker’s
performance and life.
• Locate speaker a minimum of 18 inches from fluorescent
light fixtures, light or fan dimmer controls and any other
wiring (electrical power, security system, etc.) to minimize
risk of system interference.
• To avoid audio feedback noise, locate intercom speaker at least
10 feet from another intercom speaker and keep intercom
speakers from directly facing each other or from being mounted
within the same wall cavity. Never locate two intercom speakers in the same room.
• For optimum stereo separation, stereo music speakers should be located
6 to 10 feet apart. Ideally, you will also want to keep the speaker(s) 2 feet from any sidewall, ceiling or floor.
• Do not locate more than one speaker in a room except when installing the SR-9000 stereo receiver.
