Invisa ® HTR 7000 FocusField ™ Speakers as Direct-Radiating Surrounds/Rears (Fig. B)
The Invisa HTR 7000 speakers are also ideal for use as surrounds/rears. For a direct-radiating confi guration, all
channels are positioned with the driver array aimed toward the listening area. When used as surround speakers
in a 5.1 system, Invisa ® HTR 7000 speakers may be located to the side or behind the listeners. When used on
the sides, take care never to locate the speakers forward of the listeners. If the speakers are installed behind as
surrounds, it is suggested that they be positioned fairly wide apart if possible. Installation 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. Use Fig. B as a guide to positioning as you experiment to achieve optimal surround sound in your room.
5.1 Surround Placement (Fig B)
Position one speaker on either side of the listening area with the driver array aimed toward the center of the
listening area as shown. Alternatively, position each speaker behind the listener and as far apart as possible.
6.1 Rear Placement
Begin with the 5.1 Surround Placement (above) then center one speaker behind the listening area with the driver
array aimed toward the center of the listening area.
7.1 Surround/Rear Placement (Figure C)
Begin with the 5.1 Surround Placement (as above), then position another pair of speakers behind the listening area,
one slightly right, the other slightly left of the center listening position, with the driver array aimed toward the center
of the listening area as shown.
Invisa ® HTR 7000 FocusField ™ Speakers as Indirect SURROUNDS/REARS
Alternatively, the Invisa HTR 7000 can easily be used in an indirect surrounds/rears confi guration by aiming
the sound toward the sides and rear of the room. This creates an enveloping, reverberant soundfi eld with less
directional energy. Keep in mind that the speakers should be mounted 12" (30 cm) or more from the side walls
in this confi guration.
Fine Tuning the Invisa ® HTR 7000 FocusField ™ Speakers
Once you have decided on placement, install and connect the speaker following directions that follow. Before
fi nal tightening of the lock arms, rotate speaker until the driver array points in the desired direction. To readjust
direction of sound, loosen lock arm screws (see installation instructions section below), rotate drive assembly until
it points in the desired direction, then re-tighten lock arms.
