SETTING UP THE SPEAKERS INDOOR PLACEMENT This speaker is designed to be used as a main, 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 for apart, the so called "middle-omission" effect will occur and the vocal center fill will be lost. Heigh of the speaker should be at least at ear level. - Center channel speakers 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.

(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 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 to about 600 ft2) two pairs of speakers be used, see below. 1-NS-AW350 7 NOTE: 1 pair of speakers should be used for every 200-400 ft 7 4*-
