SPEAKER PLACEMENT
MAIN LEFT AND RIGHT CHANNELS
MONITOR600i, MONITOR60i, MONITOR5i
All MTX Loudspeakers have been engineered to combine deep powerful bass with crisp, natural high
frequency performance. Because there are many factors that affect loudspeaker performance, there is
no universal rule for speaker location. Best results will be obtained with some experimentation using the
following guidelines.
To achieve the most realistic stereo image, position the speakers so that an equilateral triangle is formed
between the speakers and the listening position (Figure 1). Turning the speakers slightly towards the
listening position can improve the image focus.
Bass loudness can be increased by moving the speakers closer to the rear wall. This sometimes can
degrade the stereo image. Use your judgement as to what location best fits your preferences.
SURROUND LEFT AND RIGHT CHANNELS
MONITOR60i, MONITOR5i
If you are using the MONITOR60i and MONITOR5i for rear channel speakers in a home theater applica-
tion they should be placed to the side and slightly behind the listening position (Figure 1). If this is not
practical, they can be placed on the rear wall to either side of the listening position (Figure 2). For best
results, the surround speakers should be spaced equal distances from the listening position with the
tweeters at or above ear level.

MONITOR6C
When using the MONITOR6C as a center channel speaker in a home theater application the following
guidelines should be used for optimum performance.
Locate the speaker as close to the center of your TV or monitor as possible (Figure 1). This will anchor
the central image of your home theater to the location of the images seen on the screen.
ENTRETIEN ET MAINTENANCE
Ces enceintes ont été conçues pour fonctionner avec une large gamme de composants électroniques.
Dans la plupart des applications, 20 watts par canal suffisent pour obtenir une puissance adéquate. Pour
une grande pièce ou des niveaux sonores élevés, une puissance supérieure peut être requise.
Attention : N’utilisez pas un amplificateur de puissance supérieure à la puissance
nominale de l’enceinte. Si vous entendez une distorsion très importante, c’est que vous
dépassez la capacité du système. Une telle distorsion peut provoquer des dommages.
Réduisez le volume jusqu’à disparition de la distorsion.
Suivez les directives suivantes pour conserver leur aspect aux enceintes. Utilisez un chiffon doux et
humide pour nettoyer le coffret de l’enceinte. Évitez d’utiliser des détergents ou des liquides de nettoyage
puissants. Ne passez pas l’aspirateur sur les composants de l’enceinte car cela pourrait les endommager
de façon irréversible.
