LOUDSPEAKER
PLACEMENT
The following general placement suggestions
are accompanied by diagrams for recommended
loudspeaker locations.
IW65/IW80 IN-WALL
LOUDSPEAKER PLACEMENT –
2-CHANNEL STEREO
Before installing the loudspeakers, survey the listening
area, keeping the following points in mind and using
Figure 4 as a guide:
• Place the left and right loudspeakers as close to the
same distance from the primary listening area as
possible, and also at an equal distance from the
side walls.
Ideally, the distance between the left and right
loudspeakers should be slightly less than their
distance from the primary listening area. The
distance between the left and right loudspeakers
should also be the same distance as from the
loudspeakers to the side walls.
• When installing in the wall, position each speaker so
that the tweeter is as close to ear level as possible.
Note:
Avoid placing the woofers at the 1/4, 1/2 or
3/4 wall height positions to prevent low-
frequency cancellation.
• Refer to the following “Home Theater” placement
section if you also plan to use the speakers in a
home theater system.

LOUDSPEAKER PLACEMENT –
HOME THEATER
Before installing the loudspeakers, survey the listening
area, keeping the following points in mind and using
Figures 5 and 6 as guides:
• For front-channel use, place one speaker on the left
and another on the right along either side of the
video screen.
Left and right front loudspeakers should be relatively
close to the sides of the video screen. For example,
left and right loudspeakers used with a 50-inch
video screen should generally not be more than
80 inches apart.
• A center channel speaker should go directly above or
below the video screen and can be an in-wall, on-wall,
in-ceiling or freestanding center channel.
• When installing in the wall, position each speaker so
that the tweeter is as close to ear level as possible.
Note:
Avoid placing the woofers at the 1/4, 1/2 or
3/4 wall-height positions to prevent low-
frequency cancellation.
