AudioSource SYSTEM 380 owner manual Speaker Placement, Speaker Mounting, Set-Up Diagram

Speaker Placement

The center channel speaker should be placed as close as possible to the TV, preferably either directly on top of or below it. This locks the sound to the picture. Place the front speakers near the front corners of the room, either on a bookshelf or wall-mounted. Positioning near a corner enhances bass performance. Place the surround speakers either to the side of, or behind, your listening position. Typical placement is on the side walls, slightly above ear level, about two-thirds of the way back from the front of the room. This allows the surround speakers to aim directly at the listener, placing you in the middle of a five-speaker sound field.

Speaker Mounting

The LS 300 speakers include U-shapedbrackets to mount the speakers to the wall. For safety, always mount these speakers on a wall that is reinforced from behind. Never mount a speaker on a wall made of unreinforced drywall or plasterboard. If you are unsure, consult a professional contractor. These speakers can also be placed on bookshelves and most types of speaker stands.
