Sonance CINEMA TWO SUB SYSTEM Speaker User Manual


 
GETTING THE MOST FROM YOUR CINEMA SUBWOOFERS
When properly installed and operated with appropriate components, your Cinema speakers will
provide you with many years of entertainment pleasure. To realize the full potential of your new
speakers, please read all instructions before starting the installation process.
Pre-installation is critical to achieving the maximum performance of your Cinema system. Factors
such as the location and height of seating and location of screen dictate the proper placement and
direction of speakers.Correct placement of your Cinema One SUBs assures that you will enjoy the full
bass extension and impact of which your Cinema system is capable.
The key factors in maximizing the performance of your subwoofers are their relationship to the LCR
(left, center, right) speakers and proximity to room boundaries.
Although the Cinema Two SUBs reproduce nondirectional low frequencies, they should be installed in
the same wall as the screen and LCR speakers in order to form a coherent, integrated sound stage.
If this is not possible, they may be located in the side walls, as near as possible to the wall with the
LCR speakers.
