SPEAKER PLACEMENT
Model SS6DT has the capability
of playing two channels through
one loudspeaker
, thanks to its
dual-tweeter/dual-voice-coil
construction. Since the tweeters
are close together
, in general
they should be aimed away from
each other for best coverage.
For two-channel (stereo) appli
ca-
tions (e.g., as a single speaker
in
a remote room of a distributed
audio system), install the SS6DT
Proper placement of the
speakers is an important step
in obtaining the most realistic
soundstage possible. You can
use these recommendations as
a guide for optimal placement.
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, 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 SSLCR is suitable for the
front left, center and right posi-
tions, and may also be used as a
side surround or surround back
speaker. It may be mounted
horizontally or vertically, 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 systems.
The surround speakers should
not call attention to themselves.
They should provide a diffuse,
ambient sound accompanying
the main program material
heard in the front speakers. In
Dolby
®
Digital and DTS
®
sys-
tems, aim the tweeters toward
the listening position at ear-
level height.
