MODEL IS6DT IN-CEILING
The IS6DT has the capability of
playing two channels through
one speaker, thanks to its dual-
tweeter/dual-voice-coil con-
struction. Since the tweeters are
close together, in general they
should be aimed away from
each other for best coverage.
For two-channel (stereo) appli-
cations, e.g., as a single speaker
in a remote room of a distrib-
uted audio system, install the
IS6DT speaker centrally in the
ceiling for best stereo imaging,
swiveling the tweeters so that
one points toward the left and
the other toward the right of the
listening position, aimed at ear-
level height.
The IS6DT may also be used to
play the left and right surround
channels in a 5.1-channel home
theater system, in which case it
should be mounted in the ceil-
ing slightly behind the listening
position, centered from left to
right and with the tweeters
pointing toward the left and
right of the listening position,
aimed at ear-level height.
For 7.1-channel systems where
it is desired to use two IS6DT
speakers, one to play both the
left surround and surround
back channels and the other to
play both the right surround and
surround back channels, mount
each IS6DT speaker in the
ceiling, slightly behind the lis-
tening position. Place one
closer to the left side of the
room and the other closer to
the right side. Aim the tweeters
away from each other, toward
the front and rear of the room.
should not call attention to
themselves. They should
provide a diffuse, ambient
sound accompanying the main
program material heard in the front speakers. In Dolby ® Digital
and DTS ® systems, aim the
tweeters toward the listening
position at ear-level height.
