INDOOR PLACEMENTYou can use these speakers as front or surround speakers.— Front speaker placement should be separated by a distance of 6–10ft. If they are placed too close together,there will be a reduction in the stereo effect. Conversely, If placed too far apart, the so called “middle-omission” effect will occur and the vocal center fill will be lost. Height of the speaker should beat leastat ear level.— Center channel speaker should be placed centered above or below the TV.— Surround speakers should ideally be placed behind the listening area, At least as far apart as the frontspeakers and up to 2 additional feet apart per side. The height of the speaker should be at a minimum of earlevel or preferably somewhat higher.OUTDOOR PLACEMENTYour speaker system has water-resistant enclosures that protect the speakers form the elements when mountedoutdoors. These speakers are designed with a wide dispersion pattern which means you will get good soundquality over a large listening area. (100 ft2 to approximately 400 ft2 ). Please note: if the listening area is too large,and the speakers are positioned too far apart, “middle-omission” effect (lack of sound in an area between thespeakers) will occur and/or “hot spots” (loud sound near the speaker) will develop.Try to place the speakers between 6’–10’ apart for good stereo listening. It is suggested for larger areas (over400 ft 2 to about 600 ft2 ) two pairs of speakers be used, see below.Note• 1 pair of speakers should be used for every 200–400 ft.• We recommend that you install this speaker vertically, as it is designed to ensure a wide listening areain this orientation.7Center channel SpeakerLeft front Speaker Right front Speaker6–10 feetup to approx2 feet moreup to approx2 feet moreLISTENING AREArekaepSdnuorruSthgiRrekaepSdnuorruStfeLSETTING UP THE SPEAKERS
