Speaker Placement
Stereo Speaker Placement (2-Channel System)
• Place the left and right speakers anywhere from 6 - 10 feet
(1.8m – 3m) apart, with the main listening position as close to
midway between the speakers as possible.
• In most cases pivoting the C6R tweeter of each speaker
directly towards the main listening position will help maximize
the stereo soundstage. (The SST tweeters do not pivot)
Use the Left and Right speaker placement in Figures 2 and 3, on the
left side of image, as a guide.
