Then pull the box straight up and off. Remove any packing material from the speaker and grille, place it back in the carton, and store in case you ever need to ship the loudspeaker. Each speaker comes supplied with rubber

PLACEMENT
Your THX Ultra2 loudspeakers will achieve optimum performance when located in conformance with THX guidelines, on which the following instructions are based. Don’t be discouraged if some compromise is necessary, however, or if modest adjustments will make the system look much better in the room. The speakers are engineered to deliver excellent sound over a relatively wide range of placements within the basic framework of a
Before we move on to the specifics, here are some placement considerations that apply universally.
General Rules
•Front speakers typically sound best when their tweeters are at approximately ear height for seated listeners. If this isn’t possible (as it often is not for
•If you are putting speakers in a cabinet, try to bring their fronts out far enough that they are at least flush with the cabinet’s front.
•When practical, arrange each speaker so that its woofer is at somewhat different distances from the floor, the wall behind it, and the wall beside it. It can also help to have the left and right front speakers at different distances from their nearest side walls. This sort of staggering helps smooth the bass range.
•Any speaker’s bass output and response is strongly influenced by its distance from room boundaries, such as walls and the floor. Moving a speaker closer to a room boundary will increase its bass output, while moving it away will reduce the bass. So you will get maximum bass from a speaker by placing it in a corner and minimum bass by placing it in the center of the room.
