Furthermore, sound “bleed through” to adjacent rooms is reduced. To minimize resonances in the Snell enclosure, the speaker baffle uses a technique first pioneered on our .5 and XA series loudspeakers. The baffle is a three part composite with MDF (fiberboard) outer layers around a thin, but highly effective, damping layer.

We recommend an angular separation between 45 degrees and 60 degrees (when viewed from above). This is equivalent to a separation between the speaker systems that is about 85% of the distance to either of the speakers. ����� Creation of sounds between the speakers requires some precise placement.

PLACEMENT OF THE SURROUND SPEAKERS There are many opinions about where surround or “rear” speakers should be mounted. The following is based on the findings of the best academics, and on our experience with many installations. These placement recommendations apply to all the AMC models. If two surrounds are used in a standard 5.1 configuration (not 7.1 or EX), they are best mounted to the sides of the lis-...
Map out the wiring paths from the speakers to the amplifier. We recommend 16-gauge wire for runs up to 25 feet, and 14-gauge wire for longer runs. Be sure the speaker wire does not rest or rub against any sharp or pointed objects.
(see illustrations below). This provides a quick and clean install. Furthermore, the dog-legs can be removed if a particular situation requires the speaker to be directly attached to a stud. 1) Make an appropriate size speaker mounting cutout in the wall material.
LISTENING LEVELS AND POWER HANDLING The power recommendation for the system assumes you will operate the amplifier in a way that will not produce distortion. All speakers can be damaged by even a modest amplifier if it is producing distortion. If you hear a gritty noise or other signs of strain, turn down the volume. Prolonged or repeated operation of your speakers with a distorted signal can cause damage that is not covered by the warranty.
LIMITED WARRANTY For five years from the date of purchase, Snell Acoustics will repair for the original owner any defect in materials or workmanship that occurs in normal use of the speaker system, without charge for parts and labor. Your responsibilities are to use the product according to the instructions supplied, to provide...
