Placement; 5.1-Channel Dipole/Bipole Placement - REVELL Ultima Embrace User Manual

PLACEMENT

The EMBRACE surround loudspeakers are extremely flexible. They
may be used in a "5.1" channel system in dipole or bipole mode, or
in a "7.1" channel system in dipole, bipole, or Dual Drive™ mode.

5.1-CHANNEL DIPOLE/BIPOLE PLACEMENT

The most common home theater and multi-channel music system
configuration utilizes a pair of EMBRACE surrounds in dipole or
bipole mode, to the sides of the listening area, as shown in
Figure 3. If most listening will occur in the front row, place the
EMBRACE surrounds to the sides of the front row.
NOTE: Each pair of EMBRACE surrounds has distinct left and right
versions, as denoted by labels on the rear. To insure correct surround
operation, be sure to mount the left speaker on the left wall (as you're
facing the screen) and the right speaker on the right wall.
If the listening area consists of several rows, place the surrounds to
the sides of the back row (see Figure 3). This avoids placing the
surrounds in front of any listener, at the expense of reduced opti-
mization in the front row.
In a very large room, use two pairs of EMBRACE surrounds, as
shown in Figure 4 (on the next page). Both pairs may be placed to
the sides of the listeners, or one pair may be placed to the sides of
the listeners and the second pair may be placed to the rear of the
listeners, as shown in Figure 5 (on the next page).
