Positioning the DSP8000 loudspeakers

Safety warnings

•Do not expose the speakers to dripping or splashing.

•Do not place any object filled with liquid, such as a vase or plant pot, on the speakers.

•Do not place naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, on the speakers.

To avoid overheating

Do not position the speakers:

•In direct sunlight.

•Near heat sources, such as a radiator.

•Directly on top of heat producing equipment.

The back panel of the DSP8000 loudspeaker acts as a heatsink and requires adequate ventilation. Ensure that air can flow around it.

The heatsink normally runs warm to the touch when the speakers are not in standby.

To obtain the best sound

For best results adjust the position of the loudspeakers while listening to music.

If possible, have the most acoustically absorbent wall in the room behind the front speakers. Ideally have each DSP8000 loudspeaker at least 0.5m (20") from a corner, and position them approximately 0.25m (10") from the wall.

If you are using a DSP8000 loudspeaker as a centre channel, place the speaker centrally between the main left-right pair and, if possible, arrange for the treble units of the three speakers to be approximately the same height.
