Setup tips continued... > Speaker Orientation The AIW750E can be installed either in portrait or landscape orientations, but has been optimised for portrait orientaion and for the HF and LF panels to be positioned one above the other. > For critical listening in ceilings, e.g. a 5.1 surround system, ensure that the orientation of all speakers is the same relative to the main listening position and that the top of the HF speaker is positioned closer to the walls. - Page 14 > Boundary Loading It is possible to increase the low frequency output of the AIW750E by positioning them close (50mm - 150mm) to the corners of a room. The recommended setup on the previous page show the LF panel in both cases being either close to the floor or ceiling.
