Positioning
SUONO loudspeakers have been designed for use on or near walls to blend into normal domestic surroundings.
Their performance has been optimized for a natural well-controlled bass response in such locations. Unlike
other loudspeakers, many of which are designed to be used well out into the room, SUONO loudspeakers may
often be located to advantage close to corners, particularly in large rooms. However, all rooms differ and there
are no hard and fast rules. If possible, experiment with positioning before drilling holes in the wall. Use the
following as a guide:
SUONO 200S, 300S, 500S
Intended manly to be hung on walls.
They may be hung vertically or
horizontally, using the same wall
brackets. They should be placed at
least 30cm (1ft.) along the wall from the
corners.
SUONO 300S, 500S
The 300S, 500S may be used with equal
success hung on the wall or as a floor
standing loudspeaker with the Properly
Spiked Plinth. On the floor, they should
be close to a wall, preferably with the
foot almost touching the skirting board.
But if in a corner or an alcove, try a little
more space behind the loudspeaker.
SUONO 300S, 500S
Suitable for wall mounting, although
they may sound bass heavy if placed in
corners. As a floor standing
loudspeaker with the Proprietary Spiked
Plinth, they should be placed up to 1m
(3ft.) away from the walls, particularly if
your room has solid walls and floor.
Placement hints
•
Set the loudspeakers 2-3 meters (7 10ft.) apart. Listen equidistant from them if possible
•
If wall mounted, try to keep the loudspeakers edge at least 30cm (1 ft.) from corners (60cm for the 400)
•
Don’t obstruct the loudspeakers with furniture/curtains
•
Leave at least 10cm (4 inches) clear from the reflex ports (covered by socks) on the side of the
loudspeakers to breathe.
•
If floor standing, angling the loudspeakers ‘in’ can improve image depth and for a bigger musical sound
stage.
Audio Visual Systems
SUONO loudspeakers are ideal for multi-channel home theatre systems, or to enhance stereo televisions
Please refer to your A/V amplifier manual for wiring instructions.
Main Loudspeakers
Models 200S, 300S, 500S are the best
choice, spaced about 2-3m (7-10ft.)
apart. They should be wall mounted or
floor standing, and the TV midway
between them. The placement hints
given above apply equally for A/V
systems.
Rear Channel
The 200S, 300S, 500S are ideal for
the wall mounted effect channels.
Place the loudspeakers fairly high up
on the side walls behind the viewing
position, or well spaced on the rear wall.
Centre Channel
Use the 200S, 300S or 500S for the
centre channel. It should be mounted
horizontally on the wall immediately
behind and above the TV set, or below
a projection screen. An alternative for
projection systems is a pair of 200S, 300S
and 500S, one to either side of the screen
and run in parallel (both connected to
the same centre channel output) giving
a true mono central image localized
directly on the screen.
Magnetic Shielding
Loudspeakers magnets can discolour a conventional TV image (rainbow effects) if placed too close due to magnetic
flux leakage. Although unshielded, few problems will normally occur with SUONO loudspeakers as they are usually
wall mounted behind and to the side of the TV, out of the sensitive area. Note: If discolouration occurs, immediately
move the loudspeakers further away from the TV. The Rainbow effects can take some time to self-correct. Some
TVs are “self de-gaussing”. This feature will correct rainbow effects. Check your TV manual for the procedure.
