    Note: The AMC550mp is sold in mirror-imaged pairs. On the back of each system is a label that specifies the screen direction. In the diffuse mode, the response will be slightly superior in this direction. Install the two systems so that the arrows point toward the screen. If listeners are not going to be located on or near the center axis of the speaker, the speaker should be oriented with the arrow toward the listener location (even if this is away from the screen).
