Optimize Your L900 Height Modules
Theater Experience
Ceiling Height
It’s important to know that L900 height modules are height
speakers that bounce sound off a ceiling and back toward
your listening area. With that in mind, your ceiling plays an
important role in the experience. To achieve the best Dolby
Atmos or DTS:X experience possible, keep the following in
mind:
• Your ceiling should be flat
• Your ceiling material should be acoustically reflective
(examples include drywall, plaster, hardwood or other
rigid, non-sound absorbing material)
• Ideal ceiling height is between 7.5' and 12'
• Maximum recommended height is 14'
Receiver Setup Recommendations
To experience three-dimensional sound formatting, you must
have an AV receiver or amplifier that supports Dolby Atmos
or DTS:X content. Please reference your receiver/processor
owner’s manual for complete directions, or give us a call at
1-800-377-POLK (7655).
Adjust the receiver bass management setting for your Polk
L900 height modules to “small.” If given a choice of crossover
frequency, use 120Hz to 150Hz.
Options to Play or Stream Content
You can play Dolby Atmos, Dolby Atmos Height Virtualization,
DTS, DTS:X, DTS:X Virtual and IMAX Enhanced content from a
Blu-ray Disc through an existing Blu-ray Disc player. You must
own a device that’s fully compliant with Blu-ray specifications.
Or, you can stream content from a compatible game console,
Blu-ray or streaming media Note: Dolby Atmos and DTS:X are
compatible with the current HDMI® specification
(v1.4 and later). For more information, visit www.dolby.com
or www.dts.com.
Maximize Your New Home Theater
While certified Dolby Atmos or DTS:X content will be
maximized on your new system, nearly any content can be
improved with the addition of your L900 height modules. For
example, nearly all Dolby Atmos receivers feature a Dolby
surround up-mixer function that automatically adapts any
traditional channel-based signal to the new, full capabilities of
your system, including your L900 height modules. This ensures
that you hear realistic and immersive three-dimensional sound,
no matter what you’re playing. Please reference your receiver/
processor owner’s manual for complete information.

Connect Your L900 Height Modules to
Your AV Receiver or Amplifier
Next, run speaker wire from any compatible Atmos or DTS:X
receiver binding posts (often titled HEIGHT) to the top set of
binding posts (titled: HEIGHT) on the bottom, rear side of your
Legend speakers. Be sure to match + to +, and – to -.
Note: The L900 height modules for your L800 or L600
speakers requires a Dolby Atmos/DTS:X-enabled receiver and
is maximized by Dolby Atmos/DTS:X-encoded source material.
