Speaker placement

The following are suggestions for speaker placement:

Left and right front speakers

• Place the cube speakers in line with the horizontal center of the TV screen or higher

• Place the cube speakers 6 to 15 feet apart

• If you have Jewel Cube® or Direct/Reflecting® cube speakers, one cube of the array should face directly into the room to provide direct sound, while the other faces a wall to provide reflected sound

  

• All the cube speakers are magnetically shielded, and can be placed close to a monitor

Center speaker

• The sound from the center speaker should appear to come from the center of the screen

• Place the speaker either above or below the TV, in line with the vertical center of the screen

Left and right rear speakers

• The rear (surround) speakers should be located in the rear half of the room, preferably behind the listener

• Place the speakers at ear level or higher if possible

• If you have Jewel Cube or Direct/Reflecting cube speakers, one cube of the array should face directly into the room to provide direct sound, while the other faces a wall to provide reflected sound

Acoustimass® module

• Place the Acoustimass module along the same wall as the TV

• Do not block the vent openings at the back of the Acoustimass module. This could cause the module to overheat

• The Acoustimass module can safely sit on its side, but do not stand it on the end with the port or on the end opposite the port

• The Acoustimass module is not magnetically shielded, and must be placed at least 18 to 24 inches from a TV monitor
  
  Note: Only CRT-style TVs are affected. This includes tube TVs and rear projection with CRTs.
