Placement

The design of the System 250.1 provides you with maximum flexibility when creating a large, seamless, acoustically accurate soundfield for your home theater or music system. The best placement of the various components will vary from system to system. Use the following placement guidelines and Figure 3 as a starting point. Feel free to experiment.

Figure 3:

Typical arrange- ment for speakers in a home theater. For best results, place the surround speakers within the shaded areas.

Home Theater

For a home theater system, place your Model 251.1 LR speakers on either side of the television. All of the System 250.1 speakers (except the Model 262 PBM Powered Bass Module) are magnetically shielded so that they will not interfere with your television picture. The left front and right front speakers should be far enough apart that you get a good stereo image, but not so far apart that the sound seems to come directly from the speakers, distracting you from the picture. If you are using a center channel speaker, a wider separation of the left and right front speakers is usually possible.

The Model 253.1 C should be placed directly on or under your television. Place the speaker base so that the foot cutouts are facing forward. Then, pivot the speaker on its base and tilt the speaker so that it points directly at the listener.

The 254.1 SR’s size and shape allows greater flexibility in place- ment than most conventional surround

loudspeakers. Due to their spatial characteristics, it is possible to place the speakers virtually anywhere, but usually the best location is nearly straight out to the sides of the primary listening area, either at ear level or 1-2 feet above.

Note: The orientation of the 254.1 is important to the proper generation of the surround soundfield. Mount each speaker on the wall or shelf so that the “direct” soundfield is directed toward the front of the room, and the “ambient” soundfield is directed toward the rear. There is an arrow on the back of each speaker to guide you.
