Selecting the number and location for your speakers

The RS6 loudspeaker can be installed directly on the ground, in a flowerbed, on a wood deck or on a concrete/stone patio. There are two considerations for placing the loudspeaker, ease of running the cable to the loudspeaker and coverage of the loudspeaker. The RS6 loudspeaker will cover an area of a circle with a 20-foot diameter, in front of the speakers.

If you are using stereo outputs from the amplifier, alternate the speakers to provide the best imaging. You should place speakers less than 10 feet from the sides of the listening area and 15 feet from each other. The row spacing should not be greater than 25 feet. These loudspeaker spacing rules are the recommended maximums; placing speakers at a greater distance apart will negatively affect sound coverage and reduce their stereo effect. Placing speakers closer together will improve sound coverage and produce more stereo coverage.
