Placement
The placement of the In-Ceiling
loudspeakers depends upon the intended
application. Please refer to the section
below that best describes your application.
Distributed Sound - general sound
throughout an area
• Place the loudspeakers as uniformly
as possible throughout the area.
• Place the left and right loudspeakers
roughly the same distance from the
primary listener locations.
• To avoid "hot spots", plan to use more
loudspeakers, each set to a lower
volume.
2-Channel Stereo Sound
• Place the left and right loudspeakers
as close to the same distance from the
primary listening area as possible,
and also at an equal distance from the
side walls.
Ideally, the distance between the left
and right loudspeakers should be
slightly less than their distance from
the primary listening area. The
distance between the left and right
loudspeakers should also be the same
distance as from the loudspeakers to
the side walls.

Revel Concerta IW65 & IC65/IC80
Left, Center and Right front
loudspeakers should be centered
relative to the video screen.
Left, Center, and Right front
loudspeakers should not be
dramatially closer to the main
listening area than the video screen.
For example, if the video display is 10
feet from the main listening area, the
loudspeakers should not be less than 6
feet from the main listening area.
Left and right front loudspeakers
should be relatively close to the sides
of the video display. For example, left
and right loudspeakers used with a
50-inch video screen should generally
not be more than 80 inches apart.
The Center front loudspeaker should
go directly above or below the video
screen and can be an In-Wall,
in-ceiling, or freestanding center
channel.
Left and Right side surround
loudspeakers should be as far from the
main listening area as possible, while
keeping them at least 2 feet from side
and rear walls.
In a 5.1-channel system, In-Ceiling
side surround loudspeakers should be
located to the sides, and ideally
approximately 10 degrees behind the
main listening area.
In a 7.1-channel system, In-Ceiling
side surround loudspeakers should be
located to the sides, directly to the
sides or up to 10 degrees behind the
primary listening area.
In a 7.1-channel system, Left and
Right rear surround loudspeakers
should be equidistant from the
primary listening area and generally
as far away as possible while keeping
them at least 2 feet from the side and
rear walls.
