Setting Up Figure 2 Recommended front speaker locations Center speaker The sound from the center speaker should appear to come directly from the center of the picture (Figure 2). The center speaker cable allows up to 20 feet (6.1 m) distance from the Acoustimass® module. 1. Place the speaker on line with the vertical center of the screen, above or below (which- ever is closer to the screen), or the closest convenient location. 2. Place the speaker in line with the front of the screen (not pushed to the back of the TV). 3. Direct each of the cubes slightly away from center, to create a wider area of direct sound (Figure 3). Note: If you put the speakers in a bookcase unit, be sure to place each one at the front edge of the shelf. Placing speakers in an enclosed space can change the tonal quality of the sound. This effect is minimized if the shelves are filled with books.

Direct the cubes so that you do not pinpoint the exact location of the sound source (Figure 3). The surround cables allow up to 50 feet (15.2 m) distance from the Acoustimass module.
