CENTER CHANNEL
One of the most important parameters for the center channel placement is height. Ideally, the center channel is positioned so that its tweeter is on the same horizontal plane as the left/right speakers. This establishes a firm image height when special audio effects are panned from one side to the other, such as a speeding car moving across the screen. When a large discontinuity occurs between the heights of the center and left/right front speakers, the image of the moving object becomes confused and somewhat unnatural due to shifts in image height. Note: Although the speaker can be mounted either horizontally or vertically, the MTM design used in the Model 525W will produce a more evenly distributed sound throughout the listening area if mounted vertically.
STEP 1
Using a stud finder (available at low cost at most hardware stores) or other accurate method, locate center point between two studs and mark. Using template provided, trace hole pattern on surface of wall.
STEP 2
Using a sabre saw, keyhole saw or very sharp utility knife, cut hole in wall, following traced pattern.
STEP 3
Run loudspeaker wires to sound source location. There are several methods you can use to accomplish wiring, depending on the construction characteristics of the room or house. You can add a professional touch to your installation by using a speaker terminal plate at the source location. Leave sufficient amount of wire at speaker location (8 to 10 inches) to complete connection.
