SETUP SUGGESTIONS CONTINUED
s a starting point, we recommend placing your left and right MAIN
speakers at least 15 inches from the back wall and 7 feet apart from
each other. The distance from the listening position to each speaker
should be close to the distance that separates the two main speakers.
Angling the speakers inward towards the listening position may give a
more spacious and realistic sound stage.
The CENTER channel speaker should be placed in the center between both
left and right main speakers. Often this positioning dictates placing the speaker
either directly above or below a television monitor. Since all MC Series prod-
ucts are video shielded, the center speaker may be placed close to a television
without cause for concern. If using an MC-414C, the speaker may be in a
horizontal (lying down) or vertical position.
SURROUND* speakers may be placed either above, behind or to the sides of the
listening position. The listening position should be at the center of both surround
speakers. For best performance you may want to experiment with angling the
surround speakers either towards or away from the listening position.
*There are several different surround formats available. Dolby Pro-Logic, Pro-Logic II, Dolby Digital and
DTS generally have a 5 speaker plus subwoofer requirement. Dolby Digital EX and DTS ES add a center
rear speaker. Please consult your audio/video professional to determine which system is best for you and
how many speakers you will require.
