Setting Up The Speakers - Yamaha NS-AW570 Owner's Manual

INDOOR PLACEMENT
You can use these speakers as front or surround speakers.
— Front speaker placement should be separated by a distance of 6–10ft. If they are placed too close together,
there will be a reduction in the stereo effect. Conversely, If placed too far apart, the so called "middle-
omission" effect will occur and the vocal center fill will be lost. Height of the speaker should beat least
at ear level.
— Center channel speaker should be placed centered above or below the TV.
— Surround speakers should ideally be placed behind the listening area, At least as far apart as the front
speakers and up to 2 additional feet apart per side. The height of the speaker should be at a minimum of ear
level or preferably somewhat higher.

OUTDOOR PLACEMENT
Your speaker system has water-resistant enclosures that protect the speakers form the elements when mounted
outdoors. These speakers are designed with a wide dispersion pattern which means you will get good sound
quality over a large listening area. (100 ft
and the speakers are positioned too far apart, "middle-omission" effect (lack of sound in an area between the
speakers) will occur and/or "hot spots" (loud sound near the speaker) will develop.
Try to place the speakers between 6'–10' apart for good stereo listening. It is suggested for larger areas (over
400 ft to about 600 ft ) two pairs of speakers be used, see below.

Note
•
1 pair of speakers should be used for every 200–400 ft.

We recommend that you install this speaker vertically, as it is designed to ensure a wide listening area
in this orientation.
