    Forum Installation ™ Installation planning Amplifier/Receiver: Choose location that supports accessibility requirements and wiring constraints for power, speakers, ceiling sensor, and audio devices connecting to the amplifier. Ceiling Sensor: Locate in the center of the ceiling; maintain line of sight; keep away from direct light and electrical interference.

    Forum Installation ™ Installation of Ceiling Sensor (ICS-55) The ideal mounting location is in the center of the room's ceiling. The ideal installation is flush mounted on a white, reflective ceiling like the acoustic drop-down style. This will ensure 360º coverage and will minimize the transmission distance for more reliable performance.

There is a blue Phoenix speaker connector on the back panel labeled “R” & “L”. However, the amplifier produces monoaural sound, so it does not matter what speakers are connected to what channel so long as no more than 2 x 8-ohm speakers are wired in parallel.
