The Snell J7, K7 and LCR7 are high performance loudspeakers suitable for use in a wide variety
of applications, particularly when space is limited. The J7and K7 are classic compact Monitors.
The LCR7 Array features a D’Appolito MTM design. All the Series 7 models feature compact
designs, unique cabinet construction, superior drive units, and complex crossovers, which
contribute to their exceptional sound quality.
These Series 7 models are ideal for use as:
/
The main speakers of a compact music system
/
Front, Rear and Center channel speakers of a surround system, especially where space is
limited
/
Surround speakers in conjunction with larger front speakers
/
A multiroom extension speaker
Snell Series 7 loudspeakers reveal the depth, impact and nuance in every music and movie
soundtrack, without the obtrusive look and placement conflicts of typical speakers. Handcrafted
in Massachusetts from real wood and solid aluminum, the elegant Series 7 models, with their
soft lines and superb finish, plays perfect host to the technology inside.

Speaker Separation
The distance between the speakers determines the width of the stereo image. If the speakers
are placed too close together, the image will be too narrow; too far apart and the blend will
suffer, creating a hole in the middle.
When properly placed, your speakers will
create a continuum of “virtual images”
from left to right, with an illusion of
sound outside, in front, and behind the
speaker systems.
/
We recommend an angular
separation of about 50 degrees
(when viewed from above). This is
equivalent to a separation between
the speaker systems that is about
85% of the distance from the
speakers to the listener location.
Speaker distance
Creation of sound between the speakers requires precise placement. The left and right speakers
both be the same distance from the listener location. We advise using a tape measure to
equalize these two distances to the primary listening position. The results will be well worth the
time and effort.
