    Speaker Placement Considerations Achieving the best performance from your AV123 ELT525 speakers requires that you follow several details when setting up your speakers in their new environment. Tips and suggestions for the most desirable placement techniques are listed throughout this section.

  • Page 7: Center Channel Speaker Placement

    Should I “Toe In” the front speakers? That’s a question many enthusiasts ask us at AV123. Some people like to “toe-in” their main speakers to get better performance. This simply means aiming both Left and Right speakers so that they point more towards the prime listening/viewing position rather than straight ahead.

  • Page 8: Surround Speaker Placement

    Surround Speaker Placement Similar to the CENTER speaker requirement, if you are installing AV123 ELT525 in a multi-channel home theater arrangement you will also need SURROUND speakers. The SURROUND speaker placement is a bit more challenging than front speakers or the center channel.

    Subwoofer Placement Considerations Unlike regular loudspeakers, subwoofers will often work best when placed in a corner, even if located a few feet to the side and/or behind the closest main speaker. Typically the front right and left corners sound the most natural, though rear corner placement is also an acceptable option.

    When connecting the speaker wiring you’ll see that it has two different conductors - silver and copper colored are the most common. If you can’t see the conductors themselves, look closely at the insulation. You’ll notice that the insulation over one conductor is different than that over the other conductor - one will have slight molded ridges in it, the other will be smooth, for example.
