Optional Dipole/Bipole	Subwoofer
Speakers should be
placed directly to the
sides of the seating area
and approximately
1-2 feet (.3-.6 meter)
above the listener’s ear
level.

Optional Direct Radiator Speakers should be placed slightly behind the listening position, above ear level.

Optional Surround Back Speakers

should be placed approximately 1-2 feet (.3-.6 meter) above the listener’s ear level. Dipole or direct radiators may be used here.

Today’s home theater systems require you to place six or more speakers in your room. For the most convincing theater effects, speaker placement must be very carefully thought out. This is especially true with in-wall speakers, since their installation is permanent!

Left/Center/Right Locations The tweeter in the front three speakers should be at or just above ear height when seated, just as with stereo speakers. Try to keep the vertical posi- tion of the three front speakers within 18 inches of each other, as this will maintain smooth, believable left-center- right pans.

The spacing of the left-right speakers can be a little wider than with 2-channel stereo speakers, since in a theater sys- tem, the center channel speaker reproduces the on-screen effects and anchors the center image. Left-right spacing of about 8 to10 feet usually works well.

Note: The IWTS-155 LCR is not magnetically shielded. If you are using it with an old-styled CRT- type television, be sure the speakers are located at least 12 inches away from the picture tube to prevent

video interference.

Surround Speakers In order to achieve optimum perfor- mance we strongly recommend Atlantic Technology Dipole or TriVector™ surround speakers.If you are using our dedi- cated surround speakers please follow the placement recom- mendations included in their installation instructions.

Non-Dipole Surrounds The most realistic surround effects occur when the listener can’t localize the actual location of the surround speaker. If you decide to use the In-Wall The- ater System speakers as surround speakers, mount them above the listeners’ ears, slightly behind the listening area either on the side or rear walls.
