Introduction

Thank you for purchasing Sonance Original Series Medium
Round speakers. When properly installed, these speakers will
give you many years of entertainment pleasure. To get the most
out of your new speakers, please read this manual thoroughly
before you begin installation.
Since all of the Original Series Medium speakers have exactly
the same footprint and have identical installation requirements,
the directions in this manual apply to each of the following
models: 625R, 624R, 623R, 622R, 621R, 623R TL, 622R TL,
and 621R TL.
To achieve the best performance, Sonance recommends that
these speakers be installed by a Sonance Authorized Dealer/
Installer.

Parts List

Your Original Series Medium Round speakers include the
following:
• (2) Original Series Medium Round Speakers
• (2) Paintable grilles
• (2) Plastic paint plugs to protect speakers during painting
• (1) Mounting cutout template (in packaging)

Speaker Placement

The locations of the speakers should be determined by
considering the primary listening location, the primary use for
the speakers (distributed audio, 2-channel, or home theater),
and aesthetic values. For optimum results, contact your
Authorized Sonance Dealer for advice.
Distributed Audio Placement
Sonance Original Series Medium Round speakers have very
smooth and predictable off-axis response, increasing placement
options while providing excellent coverage in distributed audio
systems from a wide variety of installation locations.
The following chart shows how far apart the speakers can be
placed at different ceiling heights while still providing good
coverage. The distances are based on ear heights of 62"
(1.5 m) for standing listeners and 40" (1 m) for seated listeners.

Left, Center & Right Channels
• Place the left, center and right speakers from 1-2 feet (30-
60 cm) in front of the video screen, anywhere from 6 feet
to 10 feet (2–3 m) apart, with the center channel speaker
as close to midway between the left and right speakers as
possible.
• Place the left & right speakers at least 2 to 3 feet (60–90 cm)
away from the side walls.
• The main listening position should be between 4 and 10 feet
(1.2–3 m) away from the speakers.
• If necessary, pivot the tweeter and the woofer of each speaker
towards the listening position to maximize the soundstage.
The pivoting feature is available only on the Original Series
Medium Round 625R, 624R, 623R, 622R, and 621R speakers.
The adjustable three-position tweeter switch is available on
the 625R, 624R, 623R, and 623R TL.
