Placing Your Speaker

You can place your HEOS speaker anywhere you want to enjoy great sounding music. Please follow these simple guidelines when determining where to place your speaker…
• The speaker must be within range of your wireless network.
• The HEOS speaker is designed to sound best when placed 3 to 12 inches (8 – 30 cm) from a wall.
• Locate the speaker at least 12 inches (30 cm) from a television, computer, or other display device to avoid the possibility of interference.
• Place the speaker across the room from where you will be listening, as close to ear level as possible.
• The HEOS speaker is not waterproof. Do not place it near any water source and do not leave it outside in the rain or snow.
2 Wall or Ceiling Mounting (HEOS 3 only)
The HEOS 3 speaker can optionally be mounted on a wall or ceiling using standard ¼ inches (6.35 mm) threaded speaker or camera mounts which support up to 10 lbs (4.5 kg). Please visit your local Denon dealer or electronics retailer for more information about possible wall and ceiling mounting options.
Caution
Recommend installing a safety wire (not included) at the safety wiring hole on the back of the speaker in order to prevent injury to the user and others or damage to property should the speaker fall for some reason.
