or accidents resulting from improper installation.
• Each speaker weighs 3.7 kg. Select a location for
installation with stable surface, providing sufficient
distance between the speaker system and nearby walls
as shown in the accompanying illustration.
The emphasis produced by the bass speakers (woofers)
can be adjusted to some degree by varying the distance
between the speaker system and the wall behind it.
Adjust the distance between speakers and side walls to
eliminate any subject difference between right and left
speakers.
50 cm
• The most natural stereo experience will be produced
when right and left speakers are equidistant from the
listening position. Speaker cables should also be the
same lengths for right and left speakers.
50° to 60°
• When placed beside a television set, right and left
speakers should be installed so far as possible in the
same plane as the television screen.
• In order to produce optimum breadth of sound when
used in conjunction with a television, install the
television in the center between the two speakers, and
set the speakers at distances from the television such
that the angle between the speakers and listener is
about 50° to 60°.
• In rooms with hard surfaced floors and walls, sound
may be reflected off the floor and walls, creating echoes
or harmonics. In such cases, it is recommended to
adjust the sound characteristics through the use of wall
hangings, curtains, or drapes, or by placing a carpet on
the floor. Placing curtains all the way to the corners of a
room may help prevent speakers from producing
muffled sound. Likewise, if the wall opposite the
speakers (behind the listening position) is a hard wall,
placing a thick curtain on the wall may produce good
results by helping prevent the generation of standing
waves.
Applying non skid pads
The use of non skid pads is recommended depending on the
installation location. Apply the pads to the four corners of the
side of the speaker which will be on the bottom. Note that
depending on the location, the pads may not provide fully
sufficient traction to prevent slipping, so care should be
taken not to install the speakers in conditions where they
may be prone to slide.
