POSITIONING & CONNECTING YOUR
ENERGY e:XL-SERIES SPEAKERS
For best performance, please follow the guidelines outlined below:
Left and Right Main Speakers
For best stereo separation, we recommend the speaker pair be placed
6 to 10 feet (2-3 m) apart and a minimum of 15-inches (40cm) from
the rear wall. The distance from the loudspeakers to the listener
should be about 1 to 1.5 times the distance separating the speakers.
See Figures 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 for connection and placement.
Center Channel Speaker
The purpose of the center channel speaker is to ensure that the central
audio image, including actors' voices, appear to emanate from the
screen. For best results the center channel speaker should be located
directly above or below the TV screen. See Figure 1 and 6 for
connection and placement.
Surround/Effects Speakers
Surround effects speakers should be positioned adjacent to and slightly
behind the primary listening area, on the rear wall or in the ceiling to
provide the sense of spaciousness and ambiance for either Dolby Pro
Logic™ or the new Dolby Digital™ Surround source formats.
See Figures 1, 6, 7 for connection and placement.
POSITIONING & CONNECTING YOUR
ENERGY e:XL-28P SPEAKERS
