Attaching feet to your loudspeakers

GETTING STARTED

Our floorstanding loudspeakers come with feet and spikes that will greatly improve stability and sound quality.

The spikes attach to the bottom of the feet with the aid of a threaded guide (fig. 3)

There are eight pilot holes on the bottom of the speakers. The feet are located and secured here with the wood screws supplied (fig. 4). Level as required.

Your MS502 front left and right speakers should be placed equidistant to the left and right of your screen far enough apart to ensure good stereo imaging, and with the subwoofers facing out. If they are too far apart or too close to the corners of the room they will sound distracting and dis- tant. Although normally best suited facing straight ahead it may be neces- sary (if positioned close to side walls) to ‘toe-in’ the units slightly to avoid less than perfect imaging and treble response.

Your MS504 centre channel speaker needs to be placed above or below your screen, directly facing the listening position.

Your MS506 dipole surrounds should be situated relatively high on the sidewalls at the rear of the room. It is suggested that they are wall mounted using the supplied fixings or alternatively placed on suitable speaker stands.

Positioning your Loudspeakers

Properly placed, your Mordaunt-Short THX Select loudspeaker system
will provide an excellent, wholly satisfying sound. However, with each
room varying in size, dimension and layout, it will be necessary to experi-
ment with the placement of your loudspeakers in order to gain optimum
performance. A typical set-up is shown in fig. 5.	fig. 5
