Select a location
You can put your speaker just about anywhere. For maximum performance, we have a few guidelines:
The Five is a substantial and powerful speaker and should be placed on a flat surface that
is robust and durable enough to properly support it. Make sure Five’s rubber feet sit
completely on the flat surface.
Allow at least 2" perimeter all around Five including its power cord.
For a single Five speaker we recommend positioning the speaker horizontally to enable
stereo sound.
Place Five across the room from where you’ll be listening (at or close to your ear height for
best results).
For stereo pair placement information, see Stereo pairs.
The Five is humidity resistant so you can use it in the bathroom; however it is not water
resistant so don’t position it near water or leave it outside during a rain storm.
