Center speaker placement
The sound from the center speaker should appear to come directly from the center of the pic- ture. The center speaker cable allows up to 20 feet (6.1 m) distance from the Acoustimass module.
1.Place the center speaker directly above or below the center of the TV screen, or at the closest convenient location.
Note: If it will sit directly on the TV, be sure to attach the protective rubber feet to the bottom of the center speaker.
2.Align the speaker with the front of the TV screen (not pushed to the back of the TV).
3.Direct each of the cubes slightly away from center, to create a wider area of direct sound.
Note: If you put the speakers in a bookcase unit, be sure to place them at the front edge of the shelf. Placing speakers in an enclosed space can change the tonal quality of the sound.
Surround speaker placement
The rear surround speakers create an area of sound around the listener. Place them in the back half of your room. Direct the cubes slightly away from the listeners so that you cannot pinpoint the exact location of the sound source. The surround cables allow up to 50 feet (15.2 m) distance from the Acoustimass module.
1.Place the speakers at ear height (when seated) or higher, if possible.
2.Adjust the rear surround speakers to direct the sound to the front and back of the listener.
