Designer
®
to find other placement suggestions.
1.
Place your Plasma Speakers equidistantly from your TV/Projector's screen
2.
Measure the distance between your left and right speakers
3.
Measure the distance between the listening position and the midpoint between your left
and right speakers
4.
The difference in length between them should be no greater than 15%
5.
Angle your speakers inwards towards the listening position and find the optimum angle
for best sound
6.
Adjust your speakers so that the tweeters are about ear-height at the listening position
if possible
7.
Move the speakers towards room boundaries (walls or corners) to reinforce low frequen-
cies. Do the opposite to reduce lower frequencies.
8.
Do not place the speakers too far apart or a hole develops in the center image
9.
Do not place the speakers too close together or the soundstage collapses into a fuzzy
mono center-only image.

2.3 Placing Plasma Speakers Surround Left and Right
Two more Front Tower Speakers are supplied for the surround channels and they are opti-
mized to support that attractive, engaging, powerful and enveloping soundfield created by your
Plasma Speaker System.
1. Place the speakers slightly behind the primary listening position
2. Adjust the speakers to fire towards each other behind the seating area
2.4 Placing Plasma CSF-4 speakers On-Wall and In-Wall
Because of their smart design, the Plasma CSF-4 can be used as an on-wall center channel
(horizontal placement) or surround speaker (vertical placement). The Plasma CSF-4 can also be
mounted in-wall.
