SPEAKER PLACEMENT

Location and position are vital to your speaker’s performance. The ideal loca- tion is on a table or shelf positioned near the corner of a room. A shelf attached to a wooden wall (or some other acousti- cally hard surface) greatly reinforces the speaker’s sound quality. If possible, place the front edge of the speaker flush with the front edge of the shelf. For the best sound, avoid floor locations; floor coverings can absorb much of the sound.

We recommend that you play a familiar, wide-range recording and experiment with speaker placement until you find the location that provides the best sound for your needs.

If you are using another speaker with your PRO-LX5 II, for the best stereo im- age, the distance between your speak- ers should be about equal to the distance from the main listening area to a point halfway between the speakers.

If you must place your speakers farther apart, turn them slightly inward.

You can mount your PRO-LX5 II on a wall, under a shelf, or on a ceiling using optional speaker brackets (RadioShack Cat. No. 40-2063). Or, you can use a 3/8- inch wall-mount speaker bracket. Follow the instructions provided with the brack- ets.

Note: When you use a 3/8-inch wall-mount bracket, remove the screw on the back panel of the speaker so you can thread the ball shaft. For any other type of mount- ing bracket, use the mounting holes (indi- cated by the arrows) and leave the screw in place.

ATTACHING THE RUBBER FEET

Rubber feet are supplied with your speaker so it will not scratch your furni- ture. With the thicker feet (marked A) positioned toward the front corners of the speaker and the thinner feet (marked B) positioned toward the back corners, remove the paper backing and press all four feet onto the bottom of the speaker.
