GoldenEar Invisa MPX - Manual (Page 5)

GoldenEar Technology ► Invisa MPX Manual
FOR BEST IMAGING: For in-wall installations of L/R mains, measure the distance from your main listening area to
the left front speaker (we’ll call this distance “X”). For optimal imaging and largest soundstage, place speakers “X”
distance apart from each other (and no less than
3 /
4
of that distance — 3 /
4
of “X” up to “X”). For Home Theater
installations with L/C/R in-walls, place the center speaker above or below your TV, whichever position is closer to
ear level, as show in the fi gure below:
Positioning Invisa ® as Surrounds/Rears
When used as surround speakers in a 5.1 system, Invisa ® speakers may be located on the side, above, or behind
the listeners. When used on the sides, take care never to locate the speakers forward of the listeners (A). If the
speakers are placed along the rear wall as surrounds, it is suggested that they be positioned fairly wide apart
if possible, in-ceilings in the corners is also a good location. For instance, if there is a couch in the center of the
rear wall on which the listeners will sit, try to position the speakers wider apart than the couch (B). Rear speakers
in a 7.1 system should be placed fairly close together (4-6 feet) as shown (C). Surround and rear speakers should
always be positioned as high as possible in the room.
