CERTIFIED SPEAKER CONFIGURATION TO MAXIMIZE YOUR LISTENING EXPERIENCE
Choosing the right speaker configuration and placement depends on how you use your home theater. Is your system
a one-stop entertainment hub where you watch your favorite movies and enjoy music in multi-channel SACD
or DVD-Audio? Or, is your AV system primarily for watching movies?
Put simply, movies and music place different demands on audio reproduction.
Film producers typically strive for an enveloping environment, knowing that the viewer’s attention is focused on the
screen in front of them. Although a few film formats use point-source specific audio for the rear surround channels,
many do not. For example, THX movie theater standards specifically encourage an enveloping sound best provided
by multiple speakers along the wall of the theater.
High-resolution audio formats such as DVD-Audio and SACD let you enjoy your favorite music in stunning multi-
channel surround sound. The sound quality is light years beyond the conventional CD. Each format uses all five
channels as discrete, point-source specific audio sources. Any instrument can be placed anywhere in a 360°
soundfield for maximum flexibility and creativity. Audio producers enjoy making dramatic use of the almost limitless
options provided by multi-channel music formats.
The following speaker configuration and placement guidelines will help you chose the configuration that works
best for you.
NOW THAT BREATHTAKING HOME THEATER SOUND IS WITHIN YOUR GRASP, IT’S NO WONDER YOU PROBABLY
WANT TO GET UP AND CONNECT YOUR MONSTER THX SELECT CERTIFIED SPEAKERS IMMEDIATELY AND GET
ON WITH THE SHOW. HOWEVER, THERE ARE SOME GUIDELINES TO CONSIDER BEFORE YOU BEGIN. CONSIDER
THE FOLLOWING TO GET THE MOST OUT OF YOUR HIGH PERFORMANCE HOME THEATER.
Before You Connect Your Speakers
• Turn off all of your audio components.
• Read the owner’s manual for all of your audio components, especially the A/V receiver, processor,
and/or power amplifiers.
• Read this manual and have it available.
General Guidelines
Monster THX Select Certified Speakers are ported in the rear of each speaker and therefore should never be placed
in a bookshelf or other enclosed environment. Doing so will degrade the sonic performance.
When placing in your room, we recommend that each speaker be at least one foot from any room boundary
(with exception of the Dipole Surround Speaker 100 which is mounted to the wall). This will help ensure
proper sonic performance.
Installing Spikes
Monster THX Select Certified speakers come with spikes to separate the speakers and subwoofers from cabinets
and floors to help maintain proper sonic performance. The spikes should be installed in the bottom
of each speaker prior to placement.
To install, simply twist the spikes (clockwise) into the four threaded inserts on the bottom of each speaker.
The spikes are adjustable so you can raise or lower the height of the speaker. Make sure that all spikes
are at the same level when installing to avoid any rocking of the speaker.
