RBH Sound Signature - Manual (Page 6)

SETUP SUGGESTIONS CONTINUED
n home theater applications, the CENTER channel speaker should be
placed in the center between both left and right main speakers. Often
times this positioning dictates placing the speaker either directly above or
below a television monitor. As mentioned previously, all RBH Signature Series
speakers are video shielded, therefore the speaker may be placed close to a
television without cause for concern. The speaker may be used in a horizontal
(lying down) or vertical position.
SURROUND* speakers may be placed either behind or to the sides of the
listening position. The listening position should be at the center of both surround
speakers. For best performance you may want to experiment with angling the
surround speakers either towards or away from the listening position.
Placement of the SUBWOOFER will largely determine quality, quantity, and
extension of the bass frequencies within your listening room. Bass frequencies
are reinforced by close room boundaries. Placing the subwoofer in a corner
will make the subwoofer sound louder and boost the very lowest frequencies.
Placing the subwoofer away from walls will provide the least reinforcement,
making the bass sound subjectively thinner than if the woofer were close to
a wall. Good results can usually be obtained by placing a subwoofer along a
wall 3-5 feet from a corner. We recommend that you experiment with sub-
woofer placement and the sub-amplifier controls to achieve the proper bass
balance.
*There are several different surround formats available. Dolby Pro-Logic, Pro-Logic II, Dolby Digital and
DTS generally have a 5 speaker plus subwoofer requirement. Dolby Digital EX and DTS ES add a center
rear speaker. Please consult your audio/video professional to determine which system is best for you and
how many speakers you will require.
