The more a direct radiator like the System 5 LCR is aligned with your ears, the more localizable its sound will be. And since the vast majority of surround information consists of sonic cues that aren’t supposed to be localized, this is particularly undesirable.
Wall cavity size will effect the bass and midrange performance of any in-wall speaker. The System 5 LCR is designed to play optimally in a 0.5 to 1.0 cubic foot space (measured before wall insulation is inserted). Cubic dimensions can be determined by multiplying the length x width x height of the cavity.
We strongly recommend that you try all three settings, using both music and movies (if the System 5 LCR is part of a home theater system). Please note that recordings vary in their sound balance so try several differ- ent discs.
