Positioning the speakers
CANTON-SPEAKERS IN A SURROUND SETUP
It is possible in principle to use any Canton-speaker in a surround system. All Canton products have been trim-
med accurately for neutral sound reproduction, so that balanced tone performance is obtained with any com-
bination. Even if they are products from different speaker-families.
Four speakers are distinguished according to their respective functions in a surround system (Fig. 2)
Center-speaker: It must be placed in the immediate vicinity of the television picture (above or below
it). All Canton center speakers are magnetically shielded to prevent disturbance of
the television picture.
Main-speakers: Place the main-speakers to the left and the right of the picture (television set), at
least 60 cm distance from the screen edges.
Active subwoofer: It reproduces the extreme low frequency signals required by the special effects found
in movie soundtracks. The active subwoofer can be located almost anywhere in the
room.
Surround-speakers: In most cases the surround-speakers should be located to the left and right beside or
behind the listener, slightly higher than the seat position.
For further information please consult the operating instructions manual of your A/V amplifier (surround ampli-
fier, receiver).
