The StudioMonitors are very flexible in terms of their positioning and
placement requirements. They can be placed on a bookshelf, on or in an
entertainment cabinet (in the open or enclosed behind a grille or door
with appropriate opening to the room), on a stand, or mounted on the
wall. They can be positioned vertically or horizontally (just be sure that
if you position them horizontally that the side of the speaker where the
woofer is located under the grill cloth — you can tell by feeling the cloth
— faces up). The side of the speaker where the pressure coupled sub-
woofer is located should not be pressed right up against a wall or another
object but should have at least 1 to 2" of clearance (the subwoofer side of
the speaker can be very close to a side wall, just not pressed against it).
Please remember that although these recommendations are usually
valid, all rooms and listening set-ups are somewhat unique, so do not
be afraid to experiment with the speakers. Remember, whatever
sounds best to you is correct.
The speakers should usually be placed a minimum of 5 to 7 feet
apart and kept away from the side walls and corners if possible. A
good rule of thumb is to place the speakers separated by one half the
length of the wall they are positioned along, and each speaker one
quarter the length of the back wall away from the side wall.
Speakers may be angled in toward the listening position or left par-
allel with the rear wall. Angling the speakers in (pointed directly
at the listener) will result in a somewhat brighter, clearer sound with a
sharper focus and a more solid central image (generally, we recom-
mend this), while leaving the speakers parallel with each other will
result in a less bright, more diffuse sound.

Please Inspect For Shipping Damage
Each loudspeaker leaves our plant in perfect condition. Any visible or
concealed damage most likely occurred in handling after it left our plant
and should be reported at once to your Definitive dealer or the delivery
company that delivered your loudspeaker. Please unpack your system
carefully. Save all cartons and packing materials in case you move or
need to ship your system. Record the serial number found on the back of
the StudioMonitors in the appropriate place on your warranty card.
