Speaker Placement

IMPORTANT NOTE: The 800, 1000, 1400 and 1500 Array models feature spiked feet for optimum acoustic performance.

However, spikes can damage certain types of floors, such as hardwood. In such instances, place included metal coasters

between the spiked feet and the floor.

5.1-CHANNEL SYSTEM

	Center Channel
Front Speakers	Speaker

Surround Speakers

The front speakers should be placed the same distance from each other as they are from the listening position, with tweeters at about the same height from the floor as the listeners’ ears will be.

The center channel speaker should be placed below the television and no more than two feet below the tweeters of the left and right speakers.

The two surround speakers should be placed slightly behind the listening position and, ideally, should face each other. If that is not possible,

they may be placed on a wall behind the listening position, facing forward. The surround speakers should not call atten- tion to themselves. Experiment with their placement until you hear a diffuse, ambient sound accompanying the main program material heard in the front speakers.

The low-frequency material reproduced by the subwoofer is mostly omnidirectional, and this speaker may be placed in a convenient location in the room. However, the best reproduction of bass will be heard when the subwoofer

is placed in a corner along the same wall as the front speakers. Experiment with subwoofer placement by temporarily placing the subwoofer in the listening position and moving around the room until the bass repro- duction is best. Place the subwoofer in that location.
