Placement
The design of the System 220 provides you with maximum flexibility when creating a
large, seamless, acoustically accurate soundfield for your home theater or music system.
The best placement of the various components will vary from system to system. Use the
following placement guidelines and Figure 3 as a starting point. Feel free to experiment.
Home Theater
For a home theater system, place your Model 221 LR speakers on either side of the
television. All of the System 220 speakers (except the Model 222 PBM Powered Bass
Module) are magnetically shielded so that they will not interfere with your television
picture. The left front and right front speakers should be far enough apart that you get a
good stereo image, but not so far apart that the sound seems to come directly from the
speakers, distracting you from the picture. If you are using a center channel speaker, a
wider separation of the left and right front speakers is usually possible.
The Model 223 C should be placed directly on or under your television. Place the
speaker base so that the foot cutouts are facing forward. Then, set the speaker on its
base and tilt the speaker so that it points directly at the listener.
The 224 SR’s size and shape allows greater flexibility in placement than most conven-
tional surround loudspeakers. Due to their spatial characteristics, it is possible to place
the speakers virtually anywhere, but usually the best location is nearly straight out to
the sides of the primary listening area, either at ear level or 1-2 feet above.
