PLACEMENT
Single Pair
SpeakerCraft highly recommends the use of a qualified custom installation specialist when installing your AIM CINEMA speakers.
If you need assistance in locating a dealer, please contact SpeakerCraft at 1-800-448-0976.
1. Determine Your Primary Listening Area
The area where you will most likely be sitting when listening to your speakers is your primary listening area.
2. Decide Distance Apart
Consider how far apart the speakers should be. To do this, think of your listening area as one tip of a triangle with each leg of
the triangle being equal.
See Figure 1.
3. Decide Speaker Height
For optimum performance, the tweeter should be placed at or slightly above the listener’s ear level. For conditions that do
not allow the speaker to be put at the optimum height, please see “SPEAKER ADJUSTMENTS”.
4. Check for Obstructions
Before confirming the placement of your AIM CINEMA speakers you should carefully consider the location of studs, fire blocks,
electrical, plumbing and other fixtures that may get in the way. If you are installing the speakers into an existing wall, you can
locate obstructions by noting the placement of wall fixtures and if possible gaining access to an attic or crawl space for further
analysis. A good quality stud-finder, found at any building supply store, will help you determine where the studs are located
in the wall.

PLACEMENT
Multiple Speakers for Home Theater
The AIM CINEMA speakers can be used in four channels of a home theater system: main left, main right, rear left and rear right.
See Figure 2.
1. Placement of Front Channels
Follow the recommendations under “PLACEMENT - Single Pair”.
2. Placement of Center Channel
For best results, a single speaker should be placed close to the screen, usually just above or below it. However, please note that
the AIM CINEMAS were not designed to be used as dedicated center channels. We recommend using an alternate model
such as the AIM LCR FIVE (ASM84650). If you need assistance on deciding which model would be best for your application,
please contact an authorized Speakercraft dealer or contact us directly at 1-800-448-0976.
3. Placement of Rear Channels
There are a number of options for using the AIM CINEMA as rear channels in a home theater. For optimum results, they should
be placed behind the listener with the tweeter at ear level. It is usually desirable to diffuse the sound from the rear channels
by pointing the tweeter in a direction away from the listener.
INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on purchasing Speakercraft's AIM CINEMA speakers. The AIM CINEMAS feature a pivoting sub-baffle for mid-bass,
mid-range, and high frequencies. Below that are two high performance 6-inch paper cone woofers on a separate stationary sub-
baffle to increase output and extend the low frequencies.
