the tweeter and the center of the bottom-most woofer. To get an idea how the speakers will look in the room, try taping the supplied cutout templates to the wall.

Keep in mind that room furnishings play an important role in absorbing and reflecting sound waves. Midrange and high frequencies in particular will be absorbed by soft furnishings such as sofas, carpets and curtains. A large number of these soft furnishings will dull the sound, while a "live" room with few furnishings will brighten the sound. You can adjust the sound of the speakers in your room by adding or removing soft wall hangings, curtains and furniture to achieve the sound

that you desire.

Tech Tips: Pre-Wiring for New Construction

1.For best results, avoid running speaker cable near electrical wire, as it may induce a 60Hz hum in the audio signal. It’s a good idea to run the speaker cable after the electrical wiring has already been completed, so that you can route the speaker

cable at least three feet away from the electrical wiring. If speaker cable and electrical wiring must run parallel, install the cable within a metal conduit. Note that low-voltage wiring (doorbell, intercom, telephone, security, etc.) are unlikely to induce hum and can typically be run parallel to speaker cable with no detrimental effects.

2.When drilling holes through wall studs or ceiling joists, use a drill bit that is at least as wide as the speaker cable that will be routed through them. Always drill through the center of the stud or joist. If the hole must be drilled within one inch of the edge of a wall stud, add a nail plate to the drywall side to protect the cable from possible nails and screws put in the wall later. Line up the holes in the studs or joists as you go, so that pulling the cable through them will be easier.
