SETTING UP YOUR PRIME SPEAKERS FOOT OPTIONS The Prime Tower speakers come packaged with two sets of foot support options that allow optimal placement on a variety of floor substrates. The Elastomer Isolation feet that come pre-installed on the Prime Towers can be removed (unscrew to remove) and replaced with the included Threaded Metal Spike kit.
SVS recommends starting with the front loudspeakers located 30-degrees to the left and right (i.e., a 60-degree total window) of the listening position.

SETTING UP YOUR PRIME SPEAKERS ACOUSTICS & ROOM PLACEMENT Toeing-in the loudspeakers 5-10 degrees can often improve imaging, however this is also a function of the distance from nearby boundaries and the ratio of direct- to-reflected sound, so experimentation with toe-in is recommended to obtain optimal results.
SETTING UP YOUR PRIME SPEAKERS ROOM PLACEMENT (cont’d) Surround Speakers In a 5-channel system, the side surround speakers should be located 90-110 degrees off-axis. For the best sense of spaciousness, the tweeter height should be about 2 feet above ear level. In a 7.1 system, dedicated rear surround speakers are placed behind the primary seating position for enhanced rear panning effects.

ROOM PLACEMENT (cont’d) SETTING UP YOUR PRIME SPEAKERS Wide Speaker Channels The wide speaker channels are intended to be placed between the main front speakers and the side surround speakers. The goal of the wide speaker is to minimize any gaps in panning and imaging between the front main speakers and the side surround speakers and provide an additional sense of envelop- ment.
