2.2 Crate and Box Placement for Unpacking
Because of the weight and size of the Sentinel Active Reference System, it is
important to plan the layout of your room and carefully place the crated
devices within the listening environment BEFORE unpacking. Should you
require assistance with planning your listening room, please refer to the
in-depth discussion in Chapter 9, Room Acoustics and Speaker Position
(beginning on page 41). If you require additional assistance, contact your
dealer or phone the factory.
CAUTION: Three people are required for unpacking. To avoid injury, do NOT
attempt to unpack by oneself.
Once the room placement plan has been established, bring the crated
system into the listening room and place them according to the following
guidelines (see Figure 2.1):
•
Sub Speaker crates at the back wall, behind the final speaker position.
•
Sub Amplifier crates at the back wall, inboard of the sub speaker
crates.
•
Top Speaker crates near the listening position.
•
Crossover crate at the back wall between amplifier crates.
IMPORTANT: Place the crates of one channel with matching serial numbers on
one side of the room, opposite the crates of other channel.
