Using the AV 5120 as a centre loudspeaker
The AV 5120 is the perfect choice for use as the centre loudspeaker in a
surround sound installation. The AV 5120 should be placed at the same
height from the floor as the midrange units in the main left and right
loudspeakers. For example, when used with a pair of AV 5140
loudspeakers the ideal position is approximately 880mm (34.5") from the
floor. It should be placed slightly closer to the rear wall than the main left
and right loudspeakers, so that the distance from the listener to each
loudspeaker is the same.
Positioning the AV 5120 loudspeaker above or below a
television
The AV 5120 can conveniently be positioned either under or above the
television set, depending on the height of your television. The AV 5120 is
fully magnetically screened so that it will not affect the television picture:
Alternatively, it can be placed behind a projection screen, or built into an
AV cabinet.
The four rubber feet should be fitted to the base of the loudspeaker to
ensure that it does not move or vibrate during use:
Using a pair of AV 5120 loudspeakers as main loudspeakers
If you are using AV 5120 loudspeakers as the main left and right
loudspeakers in a system, their spacing should be about two thirds of the
width of the room, and this should be about the same as the distance from
your listening position to each speaker. They will also benefit from being
angled in slightly towards the listener.
When positioned in a corner or near a wall you should leave at least 75mm
(3") between each wall and the rear of each loudspeaker.
