Placement guidelines
Orienting and placing these identical speakers is critical
to their performance.
Follow these guidelines in choosing the approximate
location for each speaker. Before you mark the location
for the ceiling holes, be sure to read:
• “Other considerations” on page 5, and
• “WARNINGS:” on page 6.
Using the arrow as a guide
There is a small arrow molded into the inside flange
of each speaker. Use it as a guide for orienting the
speakers relative to one another.
The diagrams that follow show the proper orientation
using a pair of speakers for stereo sound, or several
pairs of speakers for home theater sound.
Placing speakers for stereo sound
Position these two speakers:
– one on the left and one on the right at the front of
the room
– oriented with the arrow pointing to the opposite
speaker
– an equal distance from the primary listening area
– with each one AT LEAST:
- 2 ft (.6 m) from the front wall
- 3 ft (1 m) from the side walls
- 6 ft (2 m) apart
