NSTALLING THE
AT578–S S
PEAKERS
The location and position you select for
your AT578-S Speakers will play an
important role in the room’s overall sound
quality. Everything from furniture to room
configuration can effect sound dispersion.
Therefore, it is a good idea to experiment
with a number of possible locations before
you decide on the final arrangement.
Ideally, speakers should be mounted on
walls near the ceiling; however, the speakers
may also be placed on a flat surface (such as
a bookcase) or mounted to speaker stands.
Consider the following suggestions when
determining speaker location:
• Avoid placing speakers flush with corner
walls or ceiling (see Figures 1 and 2).
• The speakers should be placed against
the wall, approximately 8 to 12 ft
(2.5m to 3.5m) above the floor.
• The speakers should be angled to point
toward the listeners’ ear level.
• Place speakers so that the sound trans-
mission is equal for all individuals in
the listening area.
• Position speakers so that furniture does
not block sound dispersion.
• Avoid placing speakers directly opposite
each other or opposite a large reflective
surface; stagger them instead (see Figures
3 and 4).
When you’ve established suitable locations
for your speakers:
• Connect a speaker cable to each speaker,
matching black to black and red to red for
correct polarity.
