speakers in, aiming them at the prime listening position. This can be particularly useful if the LR speakers are fairly far apart.

The T70 C should be placed directly above or below your television. It’s important that the speaker is centered on the screen, not off to the side. Place the separate speaker base so that the foot “cutouts” are closest to the front. Sit the speaker’s feet in the cutouts and tilt the speaker so that it points at the listening position. Try to keep the T70 C no more than 2 feet higher or lower than the LRs.

Important Note: Most surround sound decoders and receivers offer a choice of “Normal” or “Wide-band” or “Large” and “Small” modes for the some or all of the speakers in their setup menus. All T70 speakers must be used in the Normal or Small mode, if this choice is available.

The T70 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 to 24 inches above ear level. Do not block the sound emanating from the side-mounted tweeters.

Important Note: The surround speakers are intended to re-create the ambient sounds taking place in the movie scene. Throughout part or most of a movie you may not be directly aware of the surround speakers’ presence. 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.
