OutoftheBox
Youshouldsav ethecartonandtheinsertsyourspeakerscamein.You
mayneedtostoreorshipyourTSCspeakersint hefutureandthe
packagingisdesignedtoprotectthemfromdamage.
WhereShouldYouPutThem?
Werealizethattherealworld(familyopinions,roomtrafficpatterns,
etc.)willhavemajorimpactonwhereyouplaceyourTSCspeakers.
Thatbeingsaid,herearesomeguidelinesyoushouldfinduseful.
ForTSCbookshelf/centerchannel/surroundspeakers:
1) Shelfmounting.Logically,thismaybeyourfirstconsideration.
That’sfi neiftheshelfissturdyenoughanddeepenoughtohold
yourspeakerssecurely.Rememberthattheshelf shouldbeat
least2”deeperthanthespeakeritselftoallowforcable
connections,etc.SoifyourTSCspeakeris13”deep,you’ll
needashelfabout15”deeptoholditsafely.
RememberthatmostTSCspeakersarebassreflexenclosures.
Somehaveportsontherearpanel. Becausetheportisv ery
importantforproperbassreproduction,pleasedonotblockit.
Infact,ifyou’reshelfmountingyourspeakersandcanleave6”
to8”ofopenspacebehindtherearpanel,somuchthebetter.
2) Standmounting:Thisisyoursecondoptionandit’sanattractive
oneformanyowners. Ifyou’replacingyourTSCbookshelf
speakersonstands,youcanuseamateriallikeBluTack®,a
moldable,reusableadhesivecompound,tokeepyourspeakers
firmly(butnotpermanently)attachedtothestands.Ifyoucan’t
findBluTack,justaskyourneighborhoodhardwarestoreforthe
genericequivalent.
PlacingYourSpeakersProperly
MainSpeakers:Trytoputthemainspeakers(Lef tandRightforstereo,
Left,Center,andRightforhometheater)alongthesamewallofyour
listening/viewingroom.Ifyoucanplaceyourspeakersalongthelong
wall,somuchthebetter.
Usethe“RuleofThirds”wheneverpossible. Thissuggeststhatthebest
placementforyourLeftspeakerisapproximately1/3ofthewayalong
thewall behindyourspeakers.Similarly,thebestplacefortheRight
speakerisusually2/3ofthewayacrossthesamewall. Rememberthat
the“RuleofThirds”isaguidelineonly.
