INDOOR PLACEMENT This speaker is designed to be used as a main, center, surround or effects speaker: - Main 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 be at least at 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 main speakers and up to 2 additional feet apart per side. The height of the speaker should be at a minimum of ear level or preferably somewhat higher.

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 the speakers) 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 (over 400 ft2 about 600 ft2) two pairs of speakers should be used. see below, NOTE: 1 pair of speakers should be used for every 200-400 ft' The speakers can be placed on a bookshelf. wall/ceiling mounted with optional speaker brackets using 1/4x20 screws to fasten the optional bracket into the threaded inserted inserts located on the back of the speakers, or mounted using the supplied mounting brackets.
