SPEAKER PLACEMENT
Location and position are vital to your
speaker’s performance. The ideal loca-
tion is on a table or shelf positioned near
the corner of a room. A shelf attached to
a wooden wall (or some other acousti-
cally hard surface) greatly reinforces the
speaker’s sound quality. If possible,
place the front edge of the speaker flush
with the front edge of the shelf. For the
best sound, avoid floor locations; floor
coverings can absorb much of the
sound.
We recommend that you play a familiar,
wide-range recording and experiment
with speaker placement until you find
the location that provides the best sound
for your needs.
If you are using another speaker with
your PRO-LX5 II, for the best stereo im-
age, the distance between your speak-
ers should be about equal to the
distance from the main listening area to
a point halfway between the speakers.
If you must place your speakers farther
apart, turn them slightly inward.
You can mount your PRO-LX5 II on a
wall, under a shelf, or on a ceiling using
optional speaker brackets (RadioShack
Cat. No. 40-2063). Or, you can use a
3 /
8
-
inch wall-mount speaker bracket. Follow
the instructions provided with the brack-
ets.
Note: When you use
a
3 /
8
-inch wall-mount
bracket, remove the
screw on the back
panel of the speaker
so you can thread the
ball shaft. For any
other type of mount-
ing bracket, use the
mounting holes (indi-
cated by the arrows)
and leave the screw
in place.
ATTACHING THE RUBBER
FEET
Rubber feet are supplied with your
speaker so it will not scratch your furni-
ture. With the thicker feet (marked A)
positioned toward the front corners of
the speaker and the thinner feet
(marked B) positioned toward the back
corners, remove the paper backing and
press all four feet onto the bottom of the
speaker.
