Pioneer SP-BS22A-LR Owner's Manual - Page 3

www.pioneerelectronics.com/Home English 3 PLACEMENT AND FINE TUNING Correct placement of your speakers is the most important thing you can do to get the best possible sound quality from them. It is especially important with a Dolby Atmos system. Take time to experiment with positioning according to the guidelines below. Whether the speakers are used in the front or rear surround channels, the tweeter (the smaller driver on the front baffle of the speaker, not the driver on the top of the speaker) should be positioned near ear level and the compact speakers separated a distance approximately equal to the listening distance. Angling the compact speakers inward towards the listener seated in the center will improve the image stability for non-central listeners. Close proximity to a side or rear wall will enhance the bass performance, although too close (particularly a corner location) and the bass may be unnaturally high and image performance may be degraded. Best results will be obtained when the compact speaker is placed approximately 2 feet from the wall. If a corner location is unavoidable, try to position the compact speaker so that the distance to the rear wall is not equal to the distance to the side wall. This diagram shows SP-BS22A-LR speakers used for front and rear channels, in conjunction with a center speaker and a subwoofer. We recommend the use of the Pioneer SP-C22 center speaker, and SW-8MK2 subwoofer which matches the sound of the SP-BS22A-LR. Check your Dolby Atmos Enabled AV Receiver specifications for supported Dolby Atmos speaker configurations.
