PLACEMENT OF THE

CENTER CHANNEL V2.0C

The center channel needs to be placed either above or below the TV monitor, but as close to the TV as possible. The center channel carries dialogue information which should sound like it is emanating from the center of the TV. If using a Rear Projection Television, then above is probably your only choice. If you have a front projection system, than you have alternate choices of either stand mounting, or placement on furniture, etc.

When deciding on the center channel speaker placement, it is important to place the speaker so that the edge of the speakers' front is at the edge of the shelf or stand supporting it. Unwanted diffraction would occur if the center channel is situated too far back into a cabinet or other surface with edges that could impede the dispersion of the speaker. See Figure 1B.

PLACEMENT OF THE REAR CHANNEL V2.0R SPEAKERS

The Rear Channel V2.0R speakers are optimally placed on either the sides of your listening area, or the rear walls. The V2.0R has been designed with installation flexibility as its key goal. The side firing mid-fill transducers coupled with the front firing woofer and tweeter combine to produce various levels and effects depending on the speakers' location, and how the “SoundField Management” System is adjusted. The following are suggestions of where you can place your V2.0R speakers. See Figure 1B.

SIDE POSITION

The optimal placement for the V2.0R's on the side of the room, would be beside the listening area, a few feet behind the couch, at a height approximately 2/3 of the wall height from the floor. The “SoundField Management” System can be adjusted in many different ways. Refer to the separate section for adjusting the “SoundField Management” System.

REAR POSITION

The rear wall can also be used for placement of the rear V2.0R speakers. The optimum placement would be on either side of the listening area, but not in the corners of the room. Experimentation with the “SoundField Management” System will yield many different results. Refer to the separate section for adjusting the “SoundField Management” System.

CORNER POSITION

If you are limited to a corner placement of the rear channel speakers, we have designed a special “SoundField Management” mode for this purpose. It will turn off the side firing mid-fill driver above the control panel. Please notice that the two rear channel speakers are mirror- imaged of each other. When mounting the speakers, be sure to put the control panel facing the corner. This way the corner facing mid driver will not emanate sound. The other mid driver which faces out into the room, will produce sound.
