Find the
appropriate place for installation
Tips for finding the best place for your loudspeaker:
1) As a general rule, please note, that there should be a distance of 50 cm between the loudspeaker and the corner
of a room, the ceiling and the floor (see picture below). If the loudspeaker is installed in a disadvantageous place of
a room, the acoustic properties will be extremely poor.
2) It is recommended to install the loudspeaker approx. 1.40 m above the ground floor.
3) If the loudspeaker is going to be used for stereo applications (this requires 2 loudspeakers), the optimum listening
position should be located in the middle of a stereo triangle. This means in other words, that your listening position
will be located at the top of an imaginary triangle, whereas the two loudspeakers must be installed where you
imagine the other edges of this triangle.
4) You have to decide whether you prefer an installation for surround applications or for stereo applications. The
installation for a surround application requires 5 loudspeakers (minimum): main speaker left "L", main speaker right
"R", center loudspeaker "C", rear speaker left "Eff. L" and rear speaker right "Eff. R".
The figures below show the installation for a stereo application and for a surround application. Please refer to the
dimensions given in this figure.
Detailed information regarding the installation of the loudspeaker and the removal of the front grille and speaker unit
can be found on the following pages.
Note: Before you install the loudspeaker, please make sure, that there are no electrical lines, gas pipes,
water pipes or heating pipes.
