COLUMN SURROUND SPEAKER
Your Column Surround speaker uses M&Ks proprietary Tripole technology to radiate sound into the room at multiple angles. In all models, two
Column Surrounds are designed to be used as surround channel speakers in any

There are four Column Surround models. The
In general, the Column Surrounds, like all surround speakers, work best when placed to the side of the listening area or behind the listening area. They can be placed directly against side walls or directly against the back wall of the room. M&K’s Tripole design radiates sound effectively to the sides of the speaker as well as up towards the ceiling.
It is not necessary to place the speakers against a wall. They will provide excellent sound away from walls, and can be more easily concealed from view when they are placed next to furni- ture. On its pedestal base, a freestanding Column Surround can be located out in the open or behind a couch, chair, or other fur- niture. For example, a
POSITION RELATIVE TO SEATING
The Column Surrounds work best when located either adja- cent to or behind the seating position. When there is one row of seats in the room, the best sound is usually achieved with the speakers located directly to the left and to the right of this row of seats. See Figure 7. If your home theater has multiple rows of seats, the speakers usually work best when located directly to the left and right of the geometric center of the listening area. See Figure 8.

When you can’t place the speakers to the sides of the seat- ing area, it is better for them to be located towards the back of the room and behind the listeners seats, rather than in the front of the room (between the listeners and the screen).
Because these speakers are so flexible, you can achieve good results simply by making sure that the left surround speaker is in the back of the left side of the room and that the right surround speaker is in the back of the right side of the room.
