Speaker Break-InYour ProCinema 600 System should sound good right out of the box; however, anextended break-in period of 20 - 40 hours or more of playing is required to reach fullperformance capability. Break-in allows the suspensioGs to work in and results in fullerbass, a more open "blossoming" midrange and smoother high frequency reproduction.Positioning Your Speakers in Your RoomIt is important that some simple set-up recommendations be followed in order toassure optimum performance in your room. Please remember that although theserecommendations are usually valid, all rooms and listening set-ups are somewhatunique, so do not be afraid to experiment with the speakers. Remember, whateversounds best to you is correct.Positioning the ProMonitor 600s in Your RoomWhen used as front or sidelrear surround speakers, the ProMonitor 600s may beused on a stand, a shelf, or mounted on the wall or ceiling. If you place the speakerson a shelf, try to place them forward on the shelf with the front of the speaker evenwith the front of the shelf rather than pushed back toward the rear of the shelf. If youwish to use a stand we strongly recommend the Definitive ProStand 60/80/600/800which was designed to be used with these speakers in order to achieve the highestlevel of performance as well as the most attractive styling combination. Wall mount-ing can be accomplished either by using the keyhole mount which is built into thespeakers or with the ProMount 80/800 pivoting wall mount which is available sepa-rately. Placement close to the wall will increase the bass and low midrange outputwhile placement further from the wall will decrease output in these ranges and at thesame time yield a somewhat more open and three-dimensional sound. As with otheraspects of set-up and adjustment we encourage experimentation in order to achieveperfect sound in your particular room.Using the Built-In Keyhole Wall MountYour ProMonitor 600 also has a built-in keyhole wall-mount on the back.Use a toggle bolt or other similar very well anchored fastener in the wall to holdthe screw which the keyhole mount will hang on. Do not use an unanchoredscrew in the wall. Please note that there is an optional pivoting wall mountavailable which may be purchased separately.Positioning Your ProMonitor 600 Front SpeakersYour two ProMonitor 600 speakers which you are using as front speakers (pleasenote all ProMonitor 600s are exactly the same) should usually be placed 6 to 8 feetapart and kept away from side walls and comers if possible. A good rule 9f thumb is toplace the speakers separated by one half the length of the wall they are positionedalong, and each speaker one quarter the length of the wall behind them away from theside walls.Speakers may be angled in toward the listening position or pointed straight ahead.Note: Angling the speakers in so that they point directly at the listeners will result inmore detail and greater clarity.
