SPEAKER PLACEMENT
AIM LCR speakers can be used in any position of a home
theater speaker system. A single AIM LCR can be used for the
front center channel, or a pair can be used for front or rear
left and right. Because the AIM LCR speakers are magneti-
cally shielded, it is perfectly safe to place them close to the
television.
Use as a Center Channel Speaker
The AIM LCR has been designed to blend seamlessly with all
SpeakerCraft architectural in-wall and in-ceiling speakers.
With the cabinet positioned horizontally, install the AIM LCR
into the wall as close to the screen as possible. This most often
means it will need to be installed just above or below the tele-
vision. Vertically lining up the cabinet with the left and right
speakers while not necessary, will improve the performance.
(Figure 1)
Use as Front Left and Right Speakers
When using AIM LCRs for front left and right speakers, they
should be positioned vertically with the tweeter towards the
screen.
(Figure 1)
Best results are achieved when the left, right and center
channel speakers are all the same distance away from the
listener. The front left and right speakers should be placed so
that they form an equilateral triangle, with the listener at one
point and each speaker at the other two.
(Figure 2)
Ideal
sound will be achieved when the tweeters are placed at ear
level or slightly higher. If the speakers are positioned far away
from the primary listening area, adjust the pivoting tweeters
so they are pointed toward the primary listening area.
NOTE:
To avoid possible damage to the pivoting tweeters, read the
section entitled “SPEAKER ADJUSTMENTS” in this manual prior
to performing the tweeter adjustment.
INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
Before installing your speakers into the wall, you should con-
sider the placement carefully, taking into account the loca-
tion of electrical, plumbing and other fixtures. Contact your
dealer for assistance if you are not sure of the best location
in your particular room environment.
