SPEAKER PLACEMENT
Proper placement of the
speakers is an important step
in obtaining the most realistic
soundstage possible. These
recommendations are for the
optimum placement of the loud-
speakers. Use these placement
recommendations as a guide.
Slight variations will not dimin-
ish your listening pleasure.
The front speakers should be
placed the same distance from
each other as they are from the
listening position. They should
be placed at about the same
height from the floor as the
listeners’ ears will be, with the
tweeters aimed toward the
listening position at ear-level
height.
Model HTI55 is suitable for the
front left, center and right posi-
tions, and it may also be used
as a side surround or surround
back speaker. It may be
mounted horizontally or verti-
cally, but make sure to position
it so that the tweeters for all of
the front speakers are at the
same height (or differ by no
more than 2 feet). You may
rotate the tweeter to correctly
orient the JBL logo.
In a home theater configura-
tion, the two surround speakers
should be placed slightly
behind the listening position
and, ideally, should face each
other and be at a level higher
than the listeners’ ears. If that
is not possible, they may be
placed in a wall behind the lis-
tening position, facing forward.
The rear wall is the required
mounting position for the sur-
round back speakers in 6.1- and
7.1-channel system. The sur-
round speakers should not call
attention to themselves. They
should provide a diffuse, ambi-
ent sound accompanying the
main program material heard in
the front speakers. In Dolby*
Digital and DTS
®
systems, aim
the tweeters toward the listen-
ing position at ear-level height.
