  • Page 4 The Snell AMC loudspeaker enclosure is a thin, but strong, aluminum tub. It is both damped and braced. This largely contains the back radiated sound of the woofer within the enclosure. An added benefit of containing the woofer output is a reduced chance that resonances will be excited in the house walls.
  • Page 5 PLACEMENT OF THE FRONT CHANNEL SPEAKERS A home theatre system includes three loudspeakers placed across the front of the listening room. The distance between the left and right speakers determines the width of the stereo image. If the speakers are placed too close together, the image will be too narrow; too far apart and the blend will suffer, creating a hole in the middle.
  • Page 6 If two surrounds are used in a standard 5.1 configuration (not 7.1 or EX), they are best mounted to the sides of the listening area. This means straight to the sides of the listener or in line with the primary row of seating, plus or minus 15 degrees. This is preferred over back wall mounting for several reasons: It places the surrounds at locations where the difference between left ear and right ear discrimination is at a maximum.
  • Page 7 In addition to providing an extremely clean wide range response, the DPT have the added feature of an adjustable waveguide (in 45 degree increments). This unique Snell feature provides the opportunity to toe-in conventionally mounted in-wall systems or compensate for the less than ideal placements that occur in the real world.

    Setting the Dispersion Switch The illustrations below show the recommended Dispersion Switch setting for most common placement options for the AMC 800.

    ” (38mm). For thinner walls, you will need to use spacers for the mounting legs (contact your Snell dealer for this optional rubber part). INSTALLATION For convenient installation, the Snell AMC720i, AMC760, AMC 800 and AMC 900 use a dog- leg mounting system (see illustrations below). This provides a quick and clean install. Further- more, the dog-legs can be removed if a particular situation requires to speaker to be directly attached to a stud.

    5) Place the speaker into the rough opening. 6) Level the speaker and tighten the screws, being careful not to over tighten them. See diagram below for details. Turn the mounting clamps against the enclosure, then place the speaker in the mounting hole.
