POWERED SUBWOOFER
Sound spreads in all directions in the very low frequency range.
Human hearing cannot easily detect the source of very low
frequencies. Accordingly, we recommend the subwoofer be
placed in positions “A”, “B” or “C”. The optimum location will
be governed by your listening environment. Position “B” will
give the strongest bass but may sound overpowering, in which
case relocate the subwoofer to position “A” or “C”. Be sure to
provide a space of at least 8 inches (20cm) between the rear
of the subwoofer and the nearest wall.
FRONT SPEAKERS
For best results the loudspeakers should be positioned near ear
level and the loudspeakers separated a distance approximately
equal to the listening distance. Angling the loudspeakers inward
towards the listener will improve the image stability for non-
central listeners. Close proximity to a side or rear wall will
enhance the midbass performance, although too close
(particularly a corner location) and the bass may be unnaturally
high and image performance may be degraded.
FRONT CENTER SPEAKER
The loudspeaker may be positioned on top of or below the TV.
For best results align the front of the loudspeaker with the front
of the TV. If the loudspeaker is placed under the TV and very
close to the floor, then tilting upwards may be beneficial.
REAR SPEAKERS
For best results the loudspeakers should be positioned at or
above ear level. Depending upon your room layout and
preferences, the left and right rear speakers should be
positioned on the side walls just to the rear of the listening
position, or on the rear walls.
REAR CENTER SPEAKER
This loudspeaker should be positioned directly behind the
listening position, at or above ear level.
WALL MOUNTING
SEE INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS on page 1
Attach screw (or anchor) leaving a 1/8” (3mm) gap between
the screw head and the wall. Place the speaker so as to insert
the screw head though the keyhole slot in the bracket. Ensure
that the screw has fully engaged the small slot in the keyhole.
