Russound SP622.1 - Manual (Page 3)

WHERE TO PLACE YOUR SPEAKERS
Placement can make all the difference in how your RUSSOUND
speaker system sounds. There are at least three “WHERE’s” and a
“HOW” to factor into your layout:
• HOW you intend to use your in-wall speakers
• WHERE they’ll sound best (stereo imaging and acoustic
considerations)
• WHERE it’s possible to install them (wall and ceiling surfaces)
• WHERE they can be installed that makes it easy to get wires to
them without remodeling your entire house.
STEREO IMAGING
If your Russound In-wall Speakers are going to be your primary lis-
tening source in a room, you need to consider some other factors to
insure proper imaging. The term “stereo imaging” refers to a speaker
system’s ability to project music so that it sounds like the performers
are in a 3-dimensional space between the speakers. It’s the whole
point of having a stereo instead of monophonic sound.

excellent, unobtrusive front
