FRONT SPEAKERS

The ultra wide dynamic range and power handling capability of Sensys loudspeakers will provide a stunning home cinema experience. The speakers should be positioned on either side of the TV or projection screen and then placed in line with the screen surface.

CENTRE CHANNEL SPEAKER

The Sensys centre channel speaker is fully magnetically shielded and designed for installation directly above or below the TV. As the main effects speaker for the front soundstage, the critical factor in its performance is the placement. In all cases the centre channel speaker should be positioned as near to the TV screen as possible. The viewing position when seated determines the ideal mounting height, but in all cases this should be as close as possible to ear height. As with the main speakers the front baffle panel should be as near as possible in line with the screen surface.

The Sensys centre channel can be wired in single wire or bi-wire mode. Please refer to figs. 3, 4, 7 & 8 for connection guidance bearing in mind that connection should be made to the dedicated centre channel output on your A/V processor amplifier.

REAR EFFECTS SPEAKERS

The integrity of the special effects soundstage created by the source material will be compromised if the speakers are installed on the sidewalls, for that reason they should always be placed behind the main viewing position.

The placement of floor standing speakers at the rear should mirror as near as possible the location of the front pair and 0.5 metres (20 inches) from the rear wall. Wall-mounted loudspeakers should be shelf or bracket mounted 1.5 to 4.5 metres (5ft to 15ft) apart with a height mounting height range of 1.5 to 2 metres (5ft to 7ft).

SUBWOOFER

As the subwoofer only produces low frequency, therefore monaural information, it is difficult to detect its location by ear. It could as a result be situated anywhere in the room, but optimum performance will be gained by locating the subwoofer between the main stereo pair of speakers. Bass output will increase when placed next to a wall or in a corner so use the subwoofer volume control to balance the output with the rest of the system. Please refer to the manual supplied with the subwoofer for advice on installation and set-up.
