- Page 7 LOUDSPEAKER PLACEMENT NOTE: THE STAGEFRONT LCR LOUDSPEAKERS ARE DESIGNED FOR USE IN FRONT LEFT, CENTER OR RIGHT-CHANNEL APPLICATIONS. FOR EFFECT CHANNEL NEEDS, WE RECOMMEND USING A STAGEFRONT FX LOUDSPEAKER. PLACING THE STAGEFRONT LCR AS THE FRONT LEFT AND RIGHT LOUDSPEAKERS In a home theater, the intelligibility of dialog and action reproduced by the front loudspeakers is paramount! The position of each loudspeaker plays a very important role in how clear the sound is and how a stereo image is created.
- Page 8 If you are unsure of the correct installation techniques, please consult your authorized Niles Audio dealer. NOTE: DO NOT PLACE ANY STAGEFRONT LCR OR FX LOUDSPEAKERS TOO CLOSE TO A DIRECT-VIEW CRT TV MONITOR, AS IT MAY CAUSE PICTURE DISCOLORATION.

Page 10: Finishing The Installation
FINISHING THE INSTALLATION CONNECTING & INSTALLING THE LOUDSPEAKER 1. Remove the magnetic grille by starting at a corner and gently pulling the grille outwards as you work around the edges. 2. At each loudspeaker, route the wire through the provided channel to the input connectors, then separate the loudspeaker wire so that at least 2 inches of each conductor are free. - Page 11 Rear View Figure 6. Installing unit into a wall. PAINTING THE GRILLE AND FRAME Each StageFront FX and LCR frame and grille may be painted without the need for primer. For best results when painting the grille, use a spray gun or airless sprayer, thin the paint to prevent clogging of the grille holes, and apply several light coats instead of one heavy one.
- Page 12 Of course, there are some wires that appear completely identical. So be careful, or you might make a connection mistake. If you do, one loudspeaker will be playing “out-of-phase” with the other loudspeaker. A pair of out-of-phase loudspeakers works against each other, and the sound of the two playing together will be lacking in bass and sound “phasey.”...

Page 13: Operation
OPERATION LISTENING AT HIGHER VOLUMES Achieving a reasonable volume of sound in a large room requires more amplifi er power than it does in a small room. It is possible to turn the volume up so high that the amplifi er runs out of power. This creates “clipping” distortion, which will make treble sound very harsh and unmusical. -
