Selecting the locations for your Lifestyle

40 music system
When you place your speakers according to the guidelines below, a combination of reflected
and direct sound provides a lifelike stereo image virtually everywhere in the room. You may
experiment with the placement and orientation of the Jewel Cube
®
speakers and Acousti-
mass
®
module to produce the sound most pleasing to you.
For more discussion of speaker placement and room acoustics, see “Fine-tuning your
system” on page 28.
Jewel Cube speakers
Follow these guidelines to select locations that provide the maximum stereo effect from your
Lifestyle
®
40 music system (Figure 2).
1. For the most lifelike sound, place the Jewel Cube speakers 6-12 feet (1.8-3.6 m) apart.
They can be as close as 3 feet (1 m) or as far apart as 15 feet (4.6 m).
2. Place the Jewel Cube speakers 6-12 inches (15-30 cm) from the surface behind them.
3. Direct one cube of each speaker toward the center of the room. Direct the other cube
toward a side wall to create reflected sound.
CAUTION: Choose a stable and level surface for your Jewel Cube speakers. Vibration can
cause the speakers to move, particularly on very smooth surfaces. For stability, peel off the
backing from the two identical r ubber feet and center them in the matching shapes on the
bottom of each speaker.
Note: The Jewel Cube speakers are magnetically shielded so you can place them close to
the TV without af fecting picture quality.
Note: If you put the speakers in a bookcase unit, be sure to place each one at the front
edge of the shelf. Placing speakers in an enclosed space can change the tonal quality of the
sound. This effect is minimized if the shelves are filled with books.
