Note: Many processors offer a setup guide that steps you through the integration
of each of the speakers. Specifically, setting speaker distances, delays and phase
rotation. These adjustments are made via internal electrical adjustments. We have
found that actual geometric changes, that is, moving the speaker location and ro-
tation, offer improved results when integrating speakers. We recommend that you
follow the steps outlined below, evaluate your system performance and then make
adjustments in the processor. Ultimately, you will of course need to make level ad-
justments via the processor.

The next step in the setup process is fine tune the location and rotation of the Center
channel. Do as follows:
• Place the Center channel centered between the main speakers and even with
the front inner edge. Set the spikes as indicated in Center channel manual
• Follow the processor instructions on level adjustment. Adjust the level on the
Center channel so it matches in level with the left and right channels. Do
not be surprised if the Center channel requires 7-10 dB lower adjustment than
the left and right channel.
• Make sure that only the front left, right and Center channels are connected.
• With the center channel spiked, put on a multichannel audio track or movie
scene with which you are familiar.
• Play the selection and listen for the integration with the main speakers. As the
audio moves across the three front speakers, listen for a smooth transition
from one speaker to the next. You should not hear any voids in the
sound stage.
• Make 1/2” changes in front to back location until you find the Center channel
location that offers the best integration.
