Locations, Installation and Connections 

 

This section is a preliminary overview of the considerations you should observe in the installation locations 
and connections of your new Emotiva Loudspeakers. 
 
Observe the following precautions when choosing locations for your ERT-8.3/ERM-6.3/ERM-6.2 
Speakers. 
 

1)  The ERT-8.3 speakers are intended to be the main front speakers (L/R) of your home 

entertainment system. They are made to be used with the adjustable 2-position silver billet 
aluminum outriggers for maximum stability.  

2)  The ERM-6.3 speakers are intended to be the main front speakers (L/C/R) of your home 

entertainment system. 

3)  The ERM-6.2 speakers are intended to be the main front speakers (L/C/R) of your home 

entertainment system. 

4)  Use appropriate oxygen free speaker cable between your receiver or amplifier and the Emotiva 

speakers. Observe correct polarity when making the connections at either end. If the speaker 
cables will be visible at any point, select insulation colors or wire management accessories that 
compliment the room whenever possible. 

5)  Carefully remove grills before installing the speakers and mount them only when installation is 

complete and the speakers are in a secure position. This is to minimize the chance of damage to 
either the speakers or faceplate of the speakers by putting pressure on the grilles. 

The subsequent section on Speaker Placement Tips will also help you determine some of the ideal 
positioning of your new Emotiva speakers based on the configuration of your room, furniture, and other 
components. 
 

Tips for Choosing Speaker Locations

 

Please read this section thoroughly. There are a number of ways in which it may seem aesthetically 
pleasing to place the speakers in a room that will ultimately result in a sound quality compromise. The 
placement of speakers is equally as important as the room itself. While there may be very little you can do 
about the room in which your home theater equipment is installed, you can choose placement of speakers 
within that room to maximize the sound quality of the system. Ultimately, this will give a much better result 
when you are enjoying your home theater components and your new Emotiva ERT/ ERM/ERD 
loudspeakers. 

Overall, the best placement for front speakers is where the sound is directed at ear level. This means that 
the speakers themselves can be in positions lower (i.e. small floor standing speakers) or higher (i.e. in-wall 
or in-ceiling speakers) as long as the sound is “pointed” toward the listeners and preferably around ear 
level. This is not necessarily the case with the rear speakers or the side axis speakers. Read each of the 
sections carefully for the most appropriate positioning. A subwoofer is also a little challenging to install 
depending on the room. In multiple subwoofer installations the positioning of the woofers to the listener, as 
well as to each other, is critical because there can be problems with cancellation if optimum placement is 
not observed.
