PLACEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS
FOR LSi7 & LSi9 BOOKSHELF LOUDSPEAKERS
The LSi Series Bookshelf Loudspeakers were designed to provide excellent performance on a
bookshelf, in a wall unit or placed on a floor stand (available from your Polk Audio retailer, or
http://polkaudio.tranguard.com/). One LSi Bookshelf speaker is the “left” channel speaker, and the
other is the “right” channel speaker. The serial number label identifies which speaker is which
[figure 1]. The “left” speaker should be placed on the left side of the room as you face the front of
the room [figure 2]. To get the most realistic stereo image and lifelike sound, place the speakers
so that an equilateral triangle is created between the speakers and your favorite listening position
[figure 3]. If you must place the speakers farther apart than the distance from which you are
listening, angle the speakers toward the middle in order to support a more solid center image. If
you are using your LSi Series Bookshelf Loudspeakers as rear channels in a home theater system,
they should be placed on the rear or side walls, slightly above (and, on the side walls behind) the
listening position [figures 4a & 4b]. In this case, the speaker marked “left” should be placed on
the left side of the room as you face the back of the room [figure 2] (it becomes the right rear
surround when you face the front of the room).
PLACEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS
FOR LSi15 FLOORSTANDING LOUDSPEAKER
One LSi Floorstanding speaker is the “left” channel speaker, and the other is the “right” channel
speaker. The serial number label identifies which speaker is which [figure 1]. The “left” speaker
should be placed on the left side of the room as you face the front of the room. Note that the
tweeters face “in” [figure 2]. To get the most realistic stereo image and lifelike sound, place
the speakers so that an equilateral triangle is created between the speakers and your favorite
listening position [figure 3]. If your room arrangement forces you to place the speakers farther
apart than the distance from which you are listening, angle the speakers toward the middle in
order to support a more solid center image. Rubber feet and adjustable carpet spikes are included
to provide stability on any type of floor. To install them, lay the speaker carefully on its side and
screw in the spikes as far as they will go into the threaded inserts in the base of the speaker. For
wood or tile floors, slip a rubber foot over each spike. For carpeted floors, use bare spikes [figure
5]. You will achieve optimum performance when the speaker is level and stable in all directions.
Your LSi Series Loudspeakers are magnetically shielded for safe placement
near your TV or video monitor. If you notice video distortion or discoloration,
immediately move the speakers away from the TV and call Polk Audio Customer
