Speaker Placement
Correct speaker placement is important to maximize the sound quality of your audio
system. Read this section for placement tips for your individual speakers, as well as
diagrams and descriptions of various speaker system layouts.
Positioning the speakers
Tower speakers
The tower speakers can be used as front-right and front-left speakers or as surround
speakers. Your inal speaker placement will depend on the environment and personal
listening preferences.
Follow these general best practices when placing your tower speakers:
• Place the speakers as far apart from each other as they are from the main listening
area. See the diagrams on page 16 for reference.
• Do not place the speakers any closer than 6 inches to any wall.
• If possible, keep the speakers about 2.5 feet away from the back or side walls.
• If the relection of the rear speakers off of the front wall is too strong, try pulling
the speakers away from the wall or switching the array to forward-focus mode. For
more information, see page 20.
• Start with the speakers placed parallel with your back wall, and experiment with
the imaging by increasing the angle (toe-in) until you ind the desired balance of
ambience and direct sound.
