OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES

Proper placement of the Ellipse LCR is critical for maximum
performance. Try to apply as many of the following recommendations
in your installation.
The speakers should be located from eight to eighteen feet from the
listener. The minimum recommended spacing from speaker to listening
position would be approximately 6 feet in a room with eight foot
ceilings. The height and size of the television will largely determine this
distance. Keep in mind that if the television is placed at eye level and
the speakers are installed less than six feet in front of the listening
position the picture and sound could seem very disconnected.
If possible the speakers should be located a minimum of three to four
feet from the front wall this is the wall the television is on.
The left and right speakers should be separated approximately eight to
twelve feet apart with the center speaker placed as close to the middle
as possible. The Sonic Eye on all three speakers should be pivoted
toward the listening position.

RECOMMENDED PLACEMENT
The design of many homes today leaves little space for box or in-wall
LCR speakers. The use of in-ceiling LCR speakers has become quite
common in the last few years. Most of these installations have used
speakers not well suited for this purpose. The Ellipse LCR was
specifically designed to solve this problem.
The most important consideration when using in-ceiling LCR speakers
is maintaining good cohesion between picture and sound. As a general
rule you should try to install the speakers no more than 4 to 6 feet
away from the top of the television. In a room with 8 foot ceilings and
using a rear projection or large tube television this should be very
easy.
Using the following recommendations will insure your installation
achieves maximum performance from the speakers.
