Positioning the DSP8000
loudspeakers
Safety warnings
• Do not expose the speakers to dripping or splashing.
• Do not place any object filled with liquid, such as a vase or plant pot, on
the speakers.
• Do not place naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, on the
speakers.
To avoid overheating
Do not position the speakers:
• In direct sunlight.
• Near heat sources, such as a radiator.
• Directly on top of heat producing equipment.
The back panel of the DSP8000 loudspeaker acts as a heatsink and requires
adequate ventilation. Ensure that air can flow around it.
The heatsink normally runs warm to the touch when the speakers are not
in standby.
To obtain the best sound
For best results adjust the position of the loudspeakers while listening to
music.
If possible, have the most acoustically absorbent wall in the room behind
the front speakers. Ideally have each DSP8000 loudspeaker at least 0.5m
(20") from a corner, and position them approximately 0.25m (10") from the
wall.
If you are using a DSP8000 loudspeaker as a centre channel, place the
speaker centrally between the main left-right pair and, if possible, arrange
for the treble units of the three speakers to be approximately the same
height.
