Home Theater Use:
Today’s
Home
Theater
systems
require six or more speakers for
true,
life
like
Home
Cinema
listening. These speakers are: the
front right and left, the center
channel,
the
right
and
left
surround (rear), and a subwoofer. Some
systems also require additional surround
speakers or rear centers to enhance the
theater sound. The placement for these
speakers is critical to having your home
theater experience the best it can be.
Before Installation:
In order for these speakers to
perform to their potential, we
recommend that the amplifier or
receiver
must
have
the
proper
amount of power output. For the
B23-465 we suggest using 5-350
watts and for the B23-265 & 265SURwe
suggest using 5 to 220 watts.
These speakers require two conductor speaker
cable
when
connecting
to
the
amplifier/receiver. For most applications,
we suggest using a good quality, high strand
14 gauge. For longer runs over 75 feet, we
suggest using a 12 gauge speaker cable.
If the speaker cable will be run inside the
wall or ceiling, make sure the
speaker cable is UL certified and is
in accordance with all your local
building regulations.
Determining Speaker Placement:
When properly installed and with
appropriate equipment, the TruAudio
B23
series
will
provide
an
unforgettable experience. B23 speakers are
capable of delivering precise imaging and
unmatched sound quality. To maximize the
performance of your system, please take time
to read instructions for proper setup and
installation.
Pre-installation is critical to
achieving the maximum performance
from your TruAudio B23 speakers.
Factors such as the location and
height of seating and location of
the video monitor will dictate the
proper placement of speakers.
Remember that the wall is part of the sound
reproduction system. The listening room
should be symmetrical both in overall shape,
and with respect to furnishing. The best
listening rooms exhibit low intrusion of
ambient noise. The Bad Boys should not be
mounted with less than two feet of
unobstructed wall on either side.
Optimum horizontal placement of
left and right speakers is six to
ten feet apart and at least 18” from
the side walls. See figure
