SYSTEM SETUP

In order to extract the best possible sound from your speaker system, it is important to determine where the speakers will sound best in your listening room. First, consider your primary listening location and the aesthetics of the room. Second, we recommend that the distance from the listening position to each speaker should be close to the distance that separates the two main speakers. Angling the tweeters* inward towards the listening position may give a more spacious and realistic soundstage.

In home theater applications, the center speaker should be placed in the center between both left and right main speakers. This usually means placing the speaker above or below a television monitor, or above, below or behind (if acoustically transparent) a projection screen. The speakers may be placed in either a vertical or horizontal position. Surround speakers may be placed either behind or to the sides of the listening position. The listening position should be at the center of both surround speakers. You may want to experiment with angling the tweeters either toward or away from the listening position to create different surround effects.
