Using the Built-In Keyhole Wall Mount
Your ProMonitor 60 also has a built-in keyhole wall-mount on the back. Use a
toggle bolt or other similar very well anchored fastener in the wall to hold the
screw which the keyhole mount will hang on. Do not use an unanchored screw in
the wall. Please note that there is an optional pivoting wall mount available
which may be purchased separately.

It is important that some simple set-up recommendations be followed in order to
assure optimum performance in your room. Please remember that although these
recommendations are usually valid, all rooms and listening set-ups are somewhat
unique, so do not be afraid to experiment with the speakers. Remember, whatever
sounds best to you is correct.
Your ProCinema 60 System should sound good right out of the box; however, an
extended break-in period of 20-40 hours or more of playing is required to reach full
performance capability. Break-in allows the suspensions to work in and results in fuller
bass, a more open “blossoming” midrange and smoother high frequency reproduction.

Positioning the ProMonitor 60s in Your Room
When used as front or side/rear surround speakers, the ProMonitor 60s may be
used on a stand, a shelf, or mounted on the wall or ceiling. If you place the speakers
on a shelf, try to place them forward on the shelf with the front of the speaker even
with the front of the shelf rather than pushed back toward the rear of the shelf. If you
wish to use a stand we strongly recommend the Definitive ProStand 60/80 which was
designed to be used with these speakers in order to achieve the highest level of perfor-
mance as well as the most attractive styling combination. Wall mounting can be
accomplished either by using the keyhole mount which is built into the speakers or
with the ProMount 80 pivoting wall mount which is available separately. Placement
close to the wall will increase the bass and low midrange output while placement
further from the wall will decrease output in these ranges and at the same time yield a
somewhat more open and three-dimensional sound. As with other aspects of set-up
and adjustment we encourage experimentation in order to achieve perfect sound in
your particular room.
Positioning Your ProMonitor 60 Front Speakers
Your two ProMonitor 60 speakers which you are using as front speakers (please
note all ProMonitor 60s are exactly the same) should usually be placed 6 to 8 feet apart
and kept away from side walls and corners if possible. A good rule of thumb is to place
the speakers separated by one half the length of the wall they are positioned along, and
each speaker one quarter the length of the wall behind them away from the side walls.
Speakers may be angled in toward the listening position or pointed straight ahead.
Note: Angling the speakers in so that they point directly at the listeners will result in
more detail and greater clarity.
