Introduction

Thank you for purchasing a Sonance Cinema
speaker. When properly installed, these speakers will deliver
film soundtracks and music with outstanding clarity and realism,
even in large home theater rooms. This manual covers the
Sonance Cinema Ceiling LCR1S, LCR.5S, and SUR1S models.

Box Contents

Each Sonance Cinema Ceiling speaker box contains the following:
(1) Cinema Ceiling LCR or SUR speaker
(1) Paintable grille
(1) Hex bit (for use with a cordless drill/screwdriver)
(1) Mounting cutout template

Speaker Placement

Cinema Ceiling LCR1S and LCR.5S Speakers
The left, center, and right speakers should be located 8 – 18 feet
from the listeners. The height and size of the television will
largely determine this distance. As a rule of thumb, higher
ceilings will require that the speakers be placed farther away
from the listening positon. For example, if the television is placed
at eye-level and the speakers are installed in an 8-foot ceiling
less than 6 feet in front of the listening position, the picture and
sound could seem very disconnected.
The speakers should be located 3 – 4 feet from the wall the
television is on. All three speakers should be the same
distance from the wall. The left and right speakers should be
separated approximately 8 – 12 feet apart and be placed 2 – 3
feet from the side walls. The center speaker should be placed as
close to the midpoint between the left and right speakers as
:
possible. IMPORTANT A
LL THREE FRONT SPEAKERS MUST BE ORIENTED
