between the two speakers (fig.1). To get an idea how they will look in the room, try taping the supplied cutout templates to the wall. Keep in mind that room furnishings play an important role in absorbing and reflecting soundwaves. Midrange and high frequencies in particular will be absorbed by soft furnishings such as sofas, carpets and curtains. A large num- ber of these soft furnishings will dull the sound, while a “live” room with few furnishings will brighten the sound. As the SuperOne Ci is not magnetically shielded, do not install it in a location where it will be within 18” of a television. Unshielded magnets placed in close proximity to a television screen can cause picture discoloration and eventually damage the pic- ture tube. When installing three SuperOne Ci’s for front channels in a home theater system, you can position the L & R speakers farther apart to create a wider soundstage. When installing a SuperOne Ci as a center channel speaker, it should be installed at least 18” directly above the location where the television will be.

Tech Tips: Pre-Wiring for New Construction
1.For best results, avoid running speaker cable near electrical wire, as it may induce a 60Hz hum in the audio signal. It’s a good idea to run the speaker cable after the electrical wiring has already been completed, so that you can route the speaker
cable at least three feet away from the electrical wiring. If speaker cable and electrical wiring must run parallel, install the cable within a metal conduit. Note that
2.When drilling holes through wall studs or ceiling joists, use a drill bit that is at least as wide as the speaker cable that will be routed through them. Always drill through the center of the stud or joist. If the hole must be drilled within one inch of the edge of a wall stud, add a nail plate to the drywall side to protect the cable from possible nails and screws put in the wall later. Line up the holes in the studs or joists as you go, so that pulling the cable through them will be easier.
