RBH Sound MC SERIES - Manual (Page 4)

Room Setup Suggestions
In order to extract the best possible sound from your speaker, it is important
to determine where the speakers will sound best in your listening room. Room
reflections from the floor, ceiling and side walls influence the balance, imaging
and overall sonic quality at the listening position. Experiment with speaker
placement to determine which location offers the best overall sound. As a
general guide, use the room layout diagram on the next page and the following
descriptions when setting up a home theater system. Some speakers shown
in the diagram may not be applicable to your individual system.
Front Main Speakers
As a starting point, place your front left and right speakers at least 7 feet apart from
each other. The distance from the listening position to each speaker should be close to
the distance that separates the two main speakers. Angling the speakers slightly inward
towards the listening position may give a more spacious and realistic sound stage.
Center Channel Speaker
The center channel speaker should be placed in the center between both left and
right main speakers. Often this positioning dictates placing the speaker either directly
above or below a television monitor. Since all MC Series bookshelf speakers are video
shielded, the center speaker may be placed close to a television without cause for
concern. If using an MC-414C or MC-616C, the speaker may be in a horizontal (lying
down) or vertical position.
Rear Surround Speakers
The surround speakers should be placed either above or behind the listening position.
If using the MC-44C, it should be placed slightly above and directly to the sides of the listen-
ing position. The listening position should be centered between the surround speakers.
