Placement

Note: The satellite speakers can be placed
directly on a shelf or tabletop, using one of
the three included shelf stands, or mounted
on a wall using the included wall brackets.
Optional floor stands are also available.
Please contact your dealer.
Left and Right Front Channels
For left and right front channels, place one satellite to the
left and another to the right of the television, as shown in
Figure 1. Since the speakers are magnetically shielded,
you can place them close to a CRT TV without worrying
about the magnetic field distorting the picture.
Surround Channels
For left and right surround channels, place one speaker
on the left and another on the right, to the side of or
slightly behind the listening area. The surround speakers
should ideally be mounted at a height of between 4 feet
and 7 feet.
In 6- or 7-channel configurations, place the rear channel(s)
behind the listening position, as shown in Figure 2.

Installation

Please read through this owner's manual completely
before attempting to install or connect the speakers.
It is understandable that you may be anxious to play your
new system, so every effort has been made to simplify
the installation and connections of the Revel Concerta
M10 loudspeakers.
Before proceeding, you should decide how you would like
to install the M10 loudspeakers. They may be mounted on
the included tabletop/shelf stands, mounted on the wall
using the included wall bracket, or mounted to the
optional floor stands.
