SURROUND/REAR SPEAKERS
(continued)
Surround/Rear speakers may be wall mounted
(see section on wall mounting)
, mounted on PARADIGM
®
speaker stands, or placed on shelves or high furniture (i.e. bookshelves). If placing ADPs on shelves or
high furniture, make sure there is at least 18 in (45 cm) of free space on either side of the speaker. If
mounting in a corner, see your Dealer.
A NOTE ABOUT THE SUBWOOFER: In the speaker configurations that follow, the “.1” represents the low-
frequency effects channel handled by the subwoofer. All home theater requires the use of a subwoofer(s)
to provide deep bass, giving dynamic power to low-frequency effects in movies and low bass content in
music. For more information on Paradigm’s award-winning subwoofers, see your Dealer or visit our

with drivers firing toward the side walls (nameplate “points” toward listening area).
