Proper placement of the speakers is an important step in obtaining the most realistic soundstage possible. These recommendations are for the optimum placement of the loud- speakers. Use these placement recommendations as a guide. Slight variations will not dimin- ish your listening pleasure.

The front speakers should be placed the same distance from each other as they are from the listening position. They should be placed at about the same height from the floor as the listener’s ears will be, with the tweeters aimed toward the listener at ear-level height.

In a home theater configuration, the two surround speakers should be placed slightly behind the listening position and ideally should face each other and be at a level higher than the lis- tener’s ears. If that is not possi-

ble, they may be placed in a wall (or in the ceiling) behind the listening position, facing for- ward. The surround speakers should not call attention to themselves. They should provide a diffuse, ambient sound accompanying the main program material heard in the front speakers. In Dolby® Digital and DTS® systems, aim the tweeters toward the listening position at ear-level height.

MODEL SP6CSII

Model SP6CSII has the capabil- ity of playing two channels through one loudspeaker, thanks to its dual-tweeter/dual- voice-coil construction. Since the tweeters are close together, in general they should be aimed away from each other for best coverage.

For two-channel (stereo) appli- cations, e.g., as a single speaker in a remote room of a distrib- uted audio system, install the SP6CSII speaker centrally in the ceiling for best stereo imaging, swiveling the tweeters so that one points toward the left and

the other toward the right of the listening position, aimed at ear- level height.

The SP6CSII may also be used to play the left and right sur- round channels in a 5.1-channel home theater system, in which case it should be mounted in the ceiling slightly behind the listening position, centered from left to right and with the tweeters pointing toward the left and right of the listening position, aimed at ear-level height.

For 7.1-channel systems where it is desired to use two SP6CSII speakers, one to play both the left surround and surround back channels and the other to play both the right surround and surround back channels, mount each SP6CSII speaker in the ceiling, slightly behind the lis- tening position, one closer to the left side of the room and the other closer to the right side. Aim the tweeters away from each other, toward the front and rear of the room.
