Note: TCi Series In-Wall Loudspeakers are not magnetically shielded and should not be placed closer than 1’ (30cm) from a direct view television or video monitor. Test your distance BEFORE INS- TALLATION by simply holding the speaker in the place you plan to install it, and seeing how it aff- ects any TVs or video monitors nearby. If your mon- itor experiences discoloration or distortion, imme- diately move the speaker a little farther away.

DIRECTING THE DRIVER (TC60i & TC80i)

The fixed 15° angled driver in the ceiling speaker allows you to direct the midrange towards your listening area when used for front stage (left–cen- ter–right). When used as rear surrounds or 6.1 or

7.1back speakers, direct the driver towards the listening area for a more direct sound field or toward a wall for a more diffuse soundfield.

AIMING THE TWEETER

TCi models feature a swiveling Dome Tweeter for better directionality. The “sweet spot” is within a 30° cone of sound coming from the aimed speaker [figure 4].

Note: les haut-parleurs TCi ne sont pas blindés et ne devraient pas être installés à moins de 30 cm (1 pi) d’un téléviseur ou d’un écran vidéo. Testez la distance AVANT L’INSTALLATION en tenant simplement le haut-parleur à l’endroit où vous comptez l’installer; vous verrez immédiatement s’il affecte le téléviseur ou le moniteur. Si vous con- statez de la distorsion ou de la décoloration vidéo, éloignez immédiatement le haut-parleur de l’écran.

ORIENTATION DES TRANSDUCTEURS (TC60i & TC80i)

L’angle de 15° des haut-parleurs de plafond vous permet de mieux diriger les médiums vers votre position d’écoute lorsque les haut-parleurs sont utilisés pour les canaux avant (gauche-centre- droit). S’ils sont utilisés pour les canaux arrière ambiophoniques ou 6.1 / 7.1 orientez-les vers votre position d’écoute si vous désirez un effet plus directionnel ou vers un mur adjacent si vous désirez une ambiance sonore plus diffuse.

ORIENTER LE TWEETER

Les modèles TCi sont dotés d’un tweeter à dôme pivotant orientable qui permet d’améliorer la directivité. La zone d’écoute idéale se trouve dans un axe de diffusion de 30° à partir du centre du haut-parleur [figure 4].
