Proper

placement

of

the

speakers

is

an

important

step

in

obtaining

the

most

realistic

soundstage

possible.

These

recommendations

are

for

the

optimum

placement

of

the

loudspeakers.

Use

these

placement

recommendations

as

a

guide.

Slight

variations

will

not

diminish

your

listening

pleasure.

The

front

speakers

should

be

placed

the

same

di-

stance

from

each

other

as

they

are

from

the

listening

position.

They

should

be

placed

at

about

the

same

height

from

the

floor

as

the

liste-

ner

's

ears

will

be,

with

the

tweeters

aimed

toward

the

listener

at

ear

-level

height.

In

a

home

theater

configu-

ration,

the

two

surround

speakers

should

be

placed

slightly

behind

the

listening

position

and

ideally

should

face

each

other

and

be

at

a

level

higher

than

the

listener's

ears.

If

that

is

not

possible,

they

may

be

placed

in

a

wall

(or

in

the

ceiling)

behind

the

listening

position,

facing

forward.

The

surround

speakers

should

not

call

attention

to

themselves.

They

should

provide

a

diffuse,

ambient

sound

accompanying

the

main

program

mat-

erial

heard

in

the

front

speakers.

In

Dolby*

Digital

and

DTS'

systems,

aim

the

tweeters

toward

the

listening

position

at

ear

-level

height.

The

wires

for

both

speakers

should

be

the

same

length.

If

one

speaker

is

placed

closer

to

the

the

other,

hide

the

wire

behind

Speakers

and

elec-

tronics

terminals

have

corre-

sponding

(+)

and

(—)

terminals.

We

use

red

to

denote

the

(+)

termi-

t

nal

and

black

for

the

(—)

termi-

nal.

It

is

important

to

connect

both

speakers

identically:

(+)

on

the

speaker

to

(+)

on

the

ampli-

fier

and

(—)

on

the

speaker

to

(—)

on

the

amplifier.

Wiring

"out

of

phase"

results

in

thin

sound,

weak

bass

and

a

poor

stereo

image.

With

the

advent

of

multi-

channel

surround

sound

systems,

connecting

all

of

the

speakers

in

your

system

with

the

correct

polarity

remains

equally

important

in

order

to

preserve

the

proper

ambience

and

directionality

of

the

program

material.
