When properly installed and operated with appropriate components, your Sonance Silhouettespeakers will provide many years of entertainment pleasure. Your Sonance Silhouette speakers are capable of delivering pristine sound quality, unparalleled clarity, and precise imaging. Your system also can sustain reproduction of substantial continuous sound levels, with a large dynamic performance margin. To realize the full potential of your new speakers, please read all instructions before starting the installation process.
Remember that the wall is part of the sound reproduction system. To the degree possible, the listening room should be symmetrical both in overall shape, and with respect to furnishings (especially wall treatments and hanging art). The best listening rooms exhibit low intrusion of ambient noise. In any event, the Sonance Silhouette speakers should not be mounted with less than two feet of unobstructed wall on either side (i.e., not in columns).
Optimum horizontal placement of left and right speakers is six to ten feet apart and at least 18" from side walls (see Figure 2 below). All measurements are at the center of the tweeter.
