Installing the Speakers
Positioning
Left and right front speakers should be positioned so that your TV is exactly centered between them. This will help focus your attention towards the screen.
For the best overall imaging, the left speaker should be set exactly the same distance and angle away from your listening position as the right speaker. It is recommended that you use a tape measure to set them up to be the same distance away within about half an inch tolerance.
If you have a smaller TV, the speakers should be no more than two feet away from the sides of the TV. If possible, have the center, left and right speakers at the same height (within two feet). This will help give a smooth transition when sound effects move from speaker to speaker.
Ideally, the speakers should be no closer than two feet from the rear and side walls in order to reduce any reflections that might upset imaging. If your speakers are closer than this, you can experiment by adding sound deadening material such as drapes on the walls to reduce any unwanted reflections.

ERM Bookshelf Installations
If you are placing ERM speakers on a bookshelf or within a cabinet, allow room to the sides to eliminate unnecessary reflections and place the speaker close to the edge. In most cases you will select the Boundary Compensation switch to "ON"
When installing in bookshelves or other cavities with near field boundaries, set the Boundary Compensation switch to “ON”.
ERM Stand Mounting
If you are placing your ERM speakers on stands, be sure to place them at equal distances from the listening position with respect to the left and right sides. This will ensure the most accurate stereo or multichannel reproduction. Also, ensure the footprint of the speaker is well supported by the stand. The Boundary Compensation switch position on the ERM speaker will depend on the proximity to other walls or large furniture.
