  • Page 4 INTRODUCTION: WHAT IS A HIGH END IN-WALL? The Snell AMC series units bring a novel approach to the design and construction of in-wall loudspeakers, expanding the boundaries of in-wall performance. Our primary goal was to develop loudspeakers that delivered performance that was as close as possible to that of our highly regarded freestanding loudspeakers, like the LCR7 and C7.
  • Page 5 PLACEMENT OF THE AMC 2000 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 PLACEMENT OF THE AMC 900 There are many opinions about where surround or “rear” speakers should be mounted. The following is based on the findings of the best academics, and on our experience with many installations. In a typical 5.1 surround system a dipole surround speaker, such as the AMC 900 , performs best when it is mounted directly to the sides of the listener plus or minus 15 degrees or so.

  • Page 7: Preparing For Installation

    When connecting more than two speakers per amplifier channel, you should use series/parallel wiring. In all cases, make certain that the total impedance does not fall below the amplifier’s rating. If you are not sure, contact your Snell Acoustics dealer. You will Need: 1) A utility knife, an electric jigsaw, or other means of cutting a hole in the mounting surface.

  • Page 9: Listening Levels And Power Handling

    LISTENING LEVELS AND POWER HANDLING The power recommendation for the system assumes you will operate the amplifier in a way that will not produce distortion. All speakers can be damaged by even a modest amplifier if it is producing distortion. If you hear a gritty noise or other signs of strain, turn down the volume. Prolonged or repeated operation of your speakers with a distorted signal can cause damage that is not covered by the warranty.
