Installation
The 4350 has provision for mirror image mounting of the high
frequency components to minimize or maximize acoustic
separation between systems, as desired. The system is shipped
with all drivers installed in the "left-hand" configuration. When the
two hign frequency units are interchanged with their respective
cover plates on the right side ot the battle panel, the system will
be considered to be in the right-hand' configuration. Three of
the mosl useful acoustical arrangements for a pair of 4350 s are
shown on the next page as examples ol the several possibilities,
sucn as inverted suspension or multi-unit arrays, that exist.
Specific mounting instructions are provided under Component
Removal, starting on page 4 of this manual.
Determination of the preferred configuration for each 4350
should be made only after careful audition (and/or measurement)
of the total sound reproduction chain with each monitor placed
in its final room position. If additional treble separation isdesired,
the hign frequency components of the unit intenoed for right-hand
placement can be remounted to increase their physical distance

Placement
For optimum source localization within tne stereo image, a pair
of 4350s sho-ld oe arranged so that the listening pos'tion is
centered between tne two systems and no more than 30° off axis

distance ol 2.5 metres (8 feet) should be maintained between tne

screws should be replaced to maintain the air-tight seal oflhe

Grilles
The two grille sections of the 4350 are secured to tho enclosure
with mojnting tape and positioned by oowe' pins at the ends of
each assembly. The J 3 L nameplate. ;ocatec on tne upper gm e
section. is held in place with removable spring ciips An alternate
mounting position is provided at the opposite end ot tne gnie so
that the namepiate can be moved to avoo interference with the
nigh frequency components when they are transferred to the

narrep.ate are arranged symmetrically so that t can be rotated
