PLACEMENT
Before You Start – Some Klipsch speakers have feet and other
accessories that may need to be installed prior to use.
Left and Right Main Channel Speakers – For optimum
performance, place your speakers 6 to 15 feet (2 to 4.5m) apart
and at least 24 inches (60.8cm) from side walls. They may also
be toed-in slightly for better stereo imaging. The listening
position should be approximately 1 to 1.5 times the distance
separating the speakers. Refer to figures 1, 2, 3 and 4 for
connection and placement.
Center Channel Speakers – One of the satellite speakers is
used as the center channel. This speaker is designed to place
dialogue and primary sounds into the room so they seem to
come from the video screen. The center channel should, there-
fore, be placed as closely as possible to the screen—preferably
directly above or below the screen. Refer to figures 2, 3 and 4
for connection and placement.
Surround Channel Speakers – Two satellites are used as surround
speakers. These create the sense of space and ambience that
today's surround sound technologies provide. Surround speakers
can be placed adjacent to, or behind, the listening position. The
surround speaker placement is approximately 6 ft. from the floor.
Refer to figures 2 and 4 for connection and placement. Do not
mount on the ceiling.
