SURROUND SPEAKER PLACEMENT

•Place the left & right speakers on either side of the video screen, anywhere from 6 feet to 10 feet apart and 38 – 42 inches from the floor. The speakers should be at least 18 inches away from the side walls.

•If possible, locate the center speaker at the same height as the left & right channel speakers (38 – 42 inches from the floor).

•If you must place the center speaker above or below a video screen, place it no more than 2 feet above or below the center of the left and right speakers. This will maintain consistent tonality between all 3 front channel speakers.

•The main listening position should be between 8 and 12 feet away from the speakers.

Use Figure 1 as a guide.

Before Installation

1.Determine the location for the speaker (see Speaker Placement).

2.Perform an obstruction survey to be certain that there are no studs, conduit, pipes, heating ducts, pocket doors or air returns in the wall cavity that will interfere with the speaker.

3. The	cutout	for	Cinema LCR1	and	SUR1	speakers	is
7 ½" x 20½" (191mm x 521mm). The cutout for Cinema
LCR2	and	SUR2	speakers is	7 ½" x	33 ½"	(191mm	x

851mm). There must be at least 3 7/8” (98mm) depth within the wall cavity for the speaker.

4.Position the included cutout template where the speaker is to be located and pencil an outline on the wall.

•If you are unsure about obstructions, drill 2 – 4 small holes along the outline’s centerline and insert a coat hanger wire into each hole to feel-around for possible obstructions.
