POSITIONING THE SATELLITES
11 11
Wall Placement (Swivel brackets available separately)
Avoid facing a satellite parallel to a nearby wall (within
6-8 inches). The reflected sound from the wall
degrades the sound coming directly from the satellite
(diagram A).
Try to position wall-mounted satellites so both are
approximately at your ear level while sitting or slightly
higher. Make sure the speakers form at least a 20-
degree angle with your listening position. An angle
greater than 55 degrees sounds like two separate
speakers, rather than forming a continuous image of
sound between the two speakers (diagram B).
When using the speaker for video sound, place the
satellites relatively close to the left and right side of the
television monitor, forming no more than a 45 degree
angle with your listening position (diagram C).
Shelf Placement
Place the satellites as close to the edge of the shelf as
possible for best sound (diagram D). If the shelf is at
ear level or above, it is not necessary to use the
