JBL Northridge N26II User Manual

SPEAKER PLACEMENT
Proper placement of the
speakers is an important step
in obtaining the most realistic
soundstage possible. These
recommendations are for the
optimum placement of the
loudspeakers. Use these
placement recommendations as
a guide. Slight variations will
not diminish your listening
pleasure. Aim the tweeter of
each loudspeaker toward the
listening position at about ear-
level height for best imaging,
especially in digital surround
systems.
All of the Northridge Series
loudspeakers referred to in this
guide are video-shielded and
can safely be placed near a
television.
