RECOMMENDED PLACEMENT

The design of many homes today leaves little space for box or in-wall LCR speakers. The use of in-ceiling LCR speakers has become quite common in the last few years. Most of these installations have used speakers not well suited for this purpose. The Ellipse LCR was specifically designed to solve this problem.

The most important consideration when using in-ceiling LCR speakers is maintaining good cohesion between picture and sound. As a general rule you should try to install the speakers no more than 4 to 6 feet away from the top of the television. In a room with 8 foot ceilings and using a rear projection or large tube television this should be very easy.

Using the following recommendations will insure your installation achieves maximum performance from the speakers.

RECOMMENDED PLACEMENT CONTINUED

Proper placement of the Ellipse LCR is critical for maximum performance. Try to apply as many of the following recommendations in your installation.

The speakers should be located from eight to eighteen feet from the listener. The minimum recommended spacing from speaker to listening position would be approximately 6 feet in a room with eight foot ceilings. The height and size of the television will largely determine this distance. Keep in mind that if the television is placed at eye level and the speakers are installed less than six feet in front of the listening position the picture and sound could seem very disconnected.

If possible the speakers should be located a minimum of three to four feet from the front wall this is the wall the television is on.

The left and right speakers should be separated approximately eight to twelve feet apart with the center speaker placed as close to the middle as possible. The Sonic Eye on all three speakers should be pivoted toward the listening position.
