How to Place Your Speakers
Room placement is one of
the most important factors
for sound quality. Taking
a few minutes to try differ-
ent placements ensures
that your speakers will
sound best in your
listening environment.
Micro80x Satellite Placement
We recommend that you center the two satellites in front of your favorite listening position, about
6 to 12 feet (2-4m) apart, and near ear level when you are in a seated position.
The satellites may be hung from a wall with the included keyhole bracket or the optional MRB
pedestal stand/wall-mount bracket. (See page 15 for more details.) A threaded insert on the back
of each satellite allows for use with many brands of satellite floor stands. Check with your dealer
for more details.
Micro80e Effects Speaker Placement
The Micro80e effects speaker provides the ambient soundfield essential for realistic cinema sound.
To achieve the best surround sound, place the Micro80e so its sound is diffused around the listen-
ing area. They may be placed above ear level facing out or below ear level, facing up. No matter
how the speakers are placed, avoid aiming them directly at the listeners.
Micro80c Center Channel Placement
This low-profile, dedicated speaker is designed to rest unobtrusively on top of your television.
The speaker’s MagnaGuard
®
magnetic shielding allows this placement without TV interference.
The front of the speaker should be flush with the front of the television. The speaker includes
self-adhesive rubber feet to protect the TV’s finish and to prevent vibration.
