Center speaker

The sound from the center speaker should appear to come directly from the center of the picture (Figure 2). The center speaker cable allows up to 20 feet (6.1 m) from the Acoustimass module.

Note: Do not place the speaker on its side, as this diminishes performance by blocking the Jewel Cube ports.

1.Place the center speaker directly above or below the center of the TV screen, or at the closest convenient location.

2.Align the speaker with the front of the TV screen (not pushed to the back of the TV).

3.Direct each cube speaker slightly away from center, to create a wider area of direct sound (Figure 3).

Note: If you put the speakers in a bookcase unit, be sure to place each one at the front edge of the shelf. Placing speakers in an enclosed space can change the tonal quality of the sound. This effect is minimized if the shelves are filled with books.

Surround speakers

The surround (rear) speakers create an area of sound around the listener. Place them in the back half of your room. The surround cables allow up to 50 feet (15.2 m) from the Acoustimass module.

1.Place the speakers at ear height or higher, if possible.

2.Adjust the rear surround speakers to direct the sound to the front and back of the listener (Figure 3).
