PLACEMENT OF THE
CENTER CHANNEL V2.0C
The center channel needs to be placed either above or
below the TV monitor, but as close to the TV as possible.
The center channel carries dialogue information which
should sound like it is emanating from the center of the
TV. If using a Rear Projection Television, then above is
probably your only choice. If you have a front projection
system, than you have alternate choices of either stand
mounting, or placement on furniture, etc.
When deciding on the center channel speaker placement,
it is important to place the speaker so that the edge of the
speakers' front is at the edge of the shelf or stand
supporting it. Unwanted diffraction would occur if the
center channel is situated too far back into a cabinet or
other surface with edges that could impede the dispersion
of the speaker. See Figure 1B.
PLACEMENT OF THE REAR CHANNEL
V2.0R SPEAKERS
The Rear Channel V2.0R speakers are optimally placed on
either the sides of your listening area, or the rear walls.
The V2.0R has been designed with installation flexibility as
its key goal. The side firing mid-fill transducers coupled
with the front firing woofer and tweeter combine to
produce various levels and effects depending on the
speakers' location, and how the “SoundField
Management” System is adjusted. The following are
suggestions of where you can place your V2.0R speakers.
See Figure 1B.
SIDE POSITION
The optimal placement for the V2.0R's on the side of the
room, would be beside the listening area, a few feet
behind the couch, at a height approximately 2/3 of the
wall height from the floor. The “SoundField Management”
System can be adjusted in many different ways. Refer to
the separate section for adjusting the “SoundField
Management” System.
REAR POSITION
The rear wall can also be used for placement of the rear
V2.0R speakers. The optimum placement would be on
either side of the listening area, but not in the corners of
the room. Experimentation with the “SoundField
Management” System will yield many different results.
Refer to the separate section for adjusting the “SoundField
Management” System.
CORNER POSITION
If you are limited to a corner placement of the rear
channel speakers, we have designed a special “SoundField
Management” mode for this purpose. It will turn off the
side firing mid-fill driver above the control panel. Please
notice that the two rear channel speakers are mirror-
imaged of each other. When mounting the speakers, be
sure to put the control panel facing the corner. This way
the corner facing mid driver will not emanate sound. The
other mid driver which faces out into the room, will
produce sound.
