Preparation

Select the general wall area for one speaker

As you decide where you want each speaker grille, use the guidelines below:

CAUTION: Do not install near any heat sources, such as halogen lamps, registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

The two speakers should be a minimum of 5 feet (1.5 m) apart.

For in-wall speakers providing stereo at the front of the room or home theater surround sound from the rear, install them so each speaker grille is 4 to 6 feet (1.2 to 1.8 m) from the floor for best performance.

Neither speaker should be installed sideways in a wall; the enclosure should be either above or below the speaker face.

For in-wall home theater front speakers, install the pair horizontally aligned with the center of the video screen (Figure 5).

For ceiling installation, pay attention to the direction of the speaker enclosure for best per- formance for stereo (Figure 6a) or for home theater (Figure 6b).
