Installation Considerations
(continued)
LOUDSPEAKER PLACEMENT
The I20 and I30 are designed to offer excel-
lent performance in any listening room or
home theater system. Abide by the follow-
ing placement suggestions for optimal
results.
2-Channel or Front Left and Front
Right in a Home Theater System
The bulleted items that begin below indi-
cate important loudspeaker placement
considerations for 2-channel or front left
and right installations.
• The speakers should be equidistant
from the primary listening position
and placed at least four feet away from
the side walls.
• It is recommended that the angle
formed between the speakers and the
listening area be between 45 and 60°.
For example, if the speakers are 8-feet
apart, the listening position should be
8- to 12-feet from each speaker. Refer
to Figure 6 (below).
• When used as part of a home theater
system, excellent results can also be
obtained when the speakers must be
placed further apart due to a screen.
Surround Channels in a Home
Theater System
The bulleted items that begin below indi-
cate important loudspeaker placement
considerations for surround channel instal-
lations for home theaters.
• When used as part of a 5- channel
music or home theater system, the
surround speakers should be placed
slightly behind the primary listening
position. Refer to Figure 7 (below).
• If there are several rows of seating,
place the speakers perpendicular to, or
slightly behind, the last row of seating.
• When used as part of a 7-channel
music or home theater system, place
the side speakers at the sides of the
main listening position.
• If there are several rows of seating,
place the speakers, as described above,
perpendicular to the middle row of
seating.
