Surround Effects

The T90 SR’s size allows great placement flexibility and its unique TriVector spatial characteristics make it possible to place them almost anywhere within the rear third of the room. The best location however, is straight out to the sides of the prime listening position (+/- 15 degrees), approximately 18 inches to 24 inches above ear level.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The surround speakers are primarily used to re-create the ambient sounds taking place in the movie scene. Throughout part or even most of a movie, you may not be aware of the surround speakers presence. Do not panic. This is OK. Try to avoid the trap of turning the surrounds up so loud that you hear them all the time. The result will be a much less believable surround sound experience and constant distraction from the prime action taking place on the screen.

The orientation of the T90 SRs is important to the proper generation of an involving and diffuse surround effect. The sloping front or the T90 SR allows you to aim the woofer/midrange driver at or away from your ears. By aiming it at your ears you create a more localizable surround field. Aiming it away from your ears helps create a more diffuse, non-localizable surround field. We prefer the diffuse surround method (see the paragraph above if you wonder why), but you can try it both ways and decide for yourself.
