SPEAKER PLACEMENT
Note for all-weather
models: While the
N24AW and N26AW are
weather-resistant, they
are not designed to be
immersed in water. Be
selective in your
outdoor placement.
Placing these speakers
under roof eaves or a
patio awning will offer
some shelter and help
contribute to years
of trouble-free
performance. When
installed outdoors, the
speakers should be
angled down slightly,
using the mounting
brackets that are
included with models
N24 and N24AW
(brackets are optional
for models N26 and
N26AW).
Proper placement of the
speakers is an important
step in obtaining the most
realistic soundstage
possible. These recom-
mendations are for
the optimum placement of
the loudspeakers. Use these
placement recommendations
as a guide. Slight variations
will not diminish your
listening pleasure.
All of the Northridge Series
loudspeakers referred to in
this guide are video-shielded
(except models N24AW and
N26AW) and can safely be
placed near a television.
The N-CENTER center-channel
loudspeaker is designed to
complement all of the
Northridge Series loudspeakers.
It is the ideal way to re-create
the cinematic experience in
your home.
