MODEL IS6DT IN-CEILING

The IS6DT has the capability of playing two channels through one speaker, thanks to its dual- tweeter/dual-voice-coil con- struction. Since the tweeters are close together, in general they should be aimed away from each other for best coverage.

For two-channel (stereo) appli- cations, e.g., as a single speaker in a remote room of a distrib- uted audio system, install the

IS6DT speaker centrally in the ceiling for best stereo imaging, swiveling the tweeters so that one points toward the left and the other toward the right of the listening position, aimed at ear- level height.

The IS6DT may also be used to play the left and right surround channels in a 5.1-channel home theater system, in which case it should be mounted in the ceil- ing slightly behind the listening position, centered from left to right and with the tweeters pointing toward the left and right of the listening position, aimed at ear-level height.

For 7.1-channel systems where it is desired to use two IS6DT speakers, one to play both the left surround and surround back channels and the other to play both the right surround and surround back channels, mount each IS6DT speaker in the ceiling, slightly behind the lis- tening position. Place one closer to the left side of the room and the other closer to the right side. Aim the tweeters away from each other, toward the front and rear of the room.
