LOUDSPEAKER APPLICATIONS

Ics loudspeakers are designed to be installed in any standard ceiling. When
choosing a location, thought should be given to the sound coverage of the
loudspeaker, and ease of running the speaker wire.
stereo sound appliCations
The best stereo effect will be achieved if both
loudspeakers are at an equal distance from the
listening area. Ideally all loudspeakers should be
on the same horizontal plane (Figure 7). avoid
installing loudspeakers near corners to prevent
a "boomy" or diffracted sound. also note that
the lower the ceiling, the closer the loudspeaker
should be placed to the listener.
hoMe theater appliCations
Left/Center/Right – position the center
channel loudspeaker directly over the
television, with the left and right speakers
equidistant from the center. The separation
between the left and right speakers should
not be more than the distance to the primary
seating area (Figure 8).
Side Surround Effects – position
surround effects loudspeakers to the sides
of the listening area with the tweeters in-line
with the listener. The tweeters should point to
the front and rear of the room (Figure 8).
Rear Surround Effects – position
surround effects loudspeakers behind the
listening area, to the inside of the front left
and right speakers. The tweeters should
point to the sides of the room (Figure 8).
