GoldenEar Invisa 650 - Manual (Page 5)

BEST IMAGING: For In-Wall installations, measure the distance from your main listening area to the left front speak-
er (we’ll call this distance “X”). For optimal imaging and largest soundstage, place speakers “X” distance apart
from each other (and no less than
3 /
4
of that distance — 3 /
4
of “X” up to “X”). For Home Theater installations
with L/C/R in-walls, place the center speaker above or below your TV, whichever position is closer to ear level, as
shown in the figure below:
Positioning Invisa ® as Surrounds/Rears
When used as surround speakers in a 5.1 system, Invisa ® speakers may be located on the side, above, or behind
the listeners. When used on the sides, take care never to locate the speakers forward of the listeners (A, below).
If the speakers are installed in the rear wall as surrounds, it is suggested that they be positioned fairly wide apart if
possible. For instance, if there is a couch in the center of the rear wall on which the listeners will sit, try to position
the speakers wider apart than the couch (B, below). In-Ceiling installations in the rear corners is also a good
surround speakers location. Rear speakers in a 7.1 system should be placed fairly close together (4-6 feet) as
shown (C, pg. 6). Surround and rear In-Wall speakers should always be positioned as high as possible in the room.
