Today’s home theatre systems typically comprise front loudspeakers, side and/or rear loudspeakers, a
centre channel loudspeaker and a powered subwoofer. Building your system with loudspeakers of the
same brand produces the best performance as the tonal characteristics will remain the same throughout
your surround system.

Placement of your front loudspeakers is critical to the performance of your system. The 3 front loudspeak-
ers should ideally be placed with the tweeters at the same height and the same distance form the main
listening position. If this not possible, place the centre channel (PC 25) on top of, or just below, the tel-
evision, with the front left and front right loudspeakers on either side of the TV monitor.

Rear channel loudspeakers can be either floor standing (PT 1003 and PT 802) or smaller bookshelf type
loudspeakers (PB 60 and PB 50). Bookshelf loudspeakers should be placed on stands or on a shelf to
maximize their performance. Aiming the loudspeakers to the listening position or aiming them away from
the listening position will provide different sound fields (direct or diffused), based on your preference.

A powered subwoofer will reinforce the lower frequencies in any system and will also greatly enhance
your stereo and home-theatre listening experience. Today’s media, such as CD’s, DVD’s and other high
quality music and movie software feature low frequency sounds that are difficult for most loudspeakers
to reproduce. Adding a powered subwoofer will greatly improve the overall systems frequency response
because it is designed to play the frequencies that your main loudspeakers cannot play efficiently. Your
authorized Ultimate dealer can assist you in choosing the subwoofer that is right for you.
