Front Satellite Placement

The speaker may be angled up for optimum coverage of the listenening area

We recommend that you center the two satellites in front of your

favorite listening position, about 6 to 12 feet (2-4m)

apart, and near ear level when you are in a seated position.

The satellites may be hung from a wall with the included keyhole bracket or the optional MRB pedestal stand/wall-mount bracket. (See page 14 for more details.) A 1⁄4“-20 threaded insert on the back of each satellite allows for use with many brands of satellite floor stands. Check with your dealer for more details.

Rear Satellite Placement

When used as rear effect speakers, the Micro90x II and Micro80x II provide the ambient soundfield essential for realistic cinema sound. To achieve the best surround sound, place the rear satellite so its sound is diffused around the listening area. They may be placed above ear level facing out or below ear level, facing up. No matter how the speakers are placed, avoid aiming them directly at the listeners.

Micro90c II Center Channel Placement

This low-profile, dedicated speaker is designed to rest unobtrusively on top of your television. The speaker’s MagnaGuard® magnetic shielding allows this placement without TV interference. The front of the speaker should be flush with the front of the television. The speaker includes four self-adhesive rubber feet to protect the TV’s finish and to prevent vibration. Stick one in each end of the two long rectangular recesses located on both sides under the speaker housing (see “Placement of Rubber Feet” on page 13).
