AudioSource SYSTEM 380 Speaker System User Manual


 
Speaker Placement
The center channel speaker should be placed as close as possible to the TV, preferably either directly on top of or below it. This locks the
sound to the picture. Place the front speakers near the front corners of the room, either on a bookshelf or wall-mounted. Positioning near a
corner enhances bass performance. Place the surround speakers either to the side of, or behind, your listening position. Typical placement is
on the side walls, slightly above ear level, about two-thirds of the way back from the front of the room. This allows the surround speakers to
aim directly at the listener, placing you in the middle of a five-speaker sound field.
Speaker Mounting
The LS 300 speakers include U-shaped brackets to mount the speakers to the wall. For safety, always mount these speakers on a wall
that is reinforced from behind. Never mount a speaker on a wall made of unreinforced drywall or plasterboard. If you are unsure, consult
a professional contractor. These speakers can also be placed on bookshelves and most types of speaker stands.
