Center speaker
The sound from the center speaker should appear to come directly from the center of the
picture (Figure 2). The center speaker cable allows up to 20 feet (6.1 m) distance from the
Acoustimass
®
module.
1. Place the speaker on line with the vertical center of the screen, above or below (which-
ever is closer to the screen), or the closest convenient location.
2. Place the speaker in line with the front of the screen (not pushed to the back of the TV).
3. Direct each of the cubes slightly away from center, to create a wider area of direct sound
(Figure 3).
Note:
If you put the speakers in a bookcase unit, be sure to place each one at the front
edge of the shelf. Placing speakers in an enclosed space can change the tonal quality of the
sound. This effect is minimized if the shelves are filled with books.

Surround speakers
The surround (rear) speakers create an area of sound around the listener. Place them in the
back half of your room. Direct the cubes so that you do not pinpoint the exact location of the
sound source (Figure 3). The surround cables allow up to 50 feet (15.2 m) distance from the
Acoustimass module.

Speaker placement
1. Place the speakers at ear height or higher, if possible.
2. Direct the cubes to reflect sound off one or more surfaces.
3. Do not direct the sound straight at the listener.
