POSITIONING THE SATELLITES

Wall Placement (Swivel brackets available separately)

Avoid facing a satellite parallel to a nearby wall (within 6-8 inches). The reflected sound from the wall degrades the sound coming directly from the satellite (diagram A).

Try to position wall-mounted satellites so both are approximately at your ear level while sitting or slightly higher. Make sure the speakers form at least a 20- degree angle with your listening position. An angle greater than 55 degrees sounds like two separate speakers, rather than forming a continuous image of sound between the two speakers (diagram B).

When using the speaker for video sound, place the satellites relatively close to the left and right side of the television monitor, forming no more than a 45 degree angle with your listening position (diagram C).

Shelf Placement

Place the satellites as close to the edge of the shelf as possible for best sound (diagram D). If the shelf is at ear level or above, it is not necessary to use the Desktop Stand

Flush with edge if possible
