SPEAKER PLACEMENT

This speaker is designed to be used as a front, center, surround or effects speaker.

— Front speaker

 placement should be separated by a distance of  6–10ft. If they are placed too close together, 

there will be a reduction in the stereo effect. Conversely, If placed too for apart, the so called “middle-
omission” effect will  occur and the vocal center fill will be lost. Height of the speaker should be at least at ear 
level.

— Center channel speakers

 should be placed centered above or below the TV.

— Surround speakers

 should ideally be placed behind the listening area, at least as far apart as the front 

speakers and up to 2 additional feet apart per side. The height of the speaker should be at a minimum of ear 
level or preferably somewhat higher.
