CoverageThe SMS1 System has been designed to cover up to 2500 square feet of space (225m2) with areasonable background sound level. As the space gets smaller, the SMS1 will provide higher overalllevels. If the space is larger than 2500 ft2, then more speakers or systems may be necessary. Thismanual will go over actual physical placement of the components based on a rectangular room ofapproximately 2500 ft2.SatellitesThe Satellites are generally easy to place.The best coverage tends to be in and around the cornersof the room. The speakers should be placed up high, close to the ceiling. If the ceiling is very high,and there is no reason to cover all the way to the top, do not place the satellites much higher than15-ft (4.5m). It is best to bring the Satellite out of the corner slightly, along the long wall of theroom, to an appropriate position such that the installation base will be positioned at a wall stud. Thefour satellites should essentially be in symmetry with each other. The satellites should be pointeddown and in to center so that they “face” a point approximately 4-ft (1.2m) above the center of thefloor. For a Stereo System, it is recommended that the Satellites be setup in a diagonal left rightpattern. See Figure 5 below.Figure 5 – Satellite Placement in a Rectangular Room8
