Proper placement of the speakers is an important step in obtaining the most realistic soundstage possible. These recommendations are for the optimum placement of the loudspeakers. Use these placement recommendations as a guide. Slight variations will not diminish your listening pleasure.

The front speakers should be placed the same distance from each other as they are from the listening position. They should

be placed at about the same height from the floor as the listeners’ ears will be, with the tweeters aimed toward the listening position at ear-level height.

Model HTI55 is suitable for the front left, center and right positions, and it may also be used as a side surround or surround back speaker. It may be mounted horizontally or vertically, but make sure to position it so that the tweeters for all of the front speakers are at the same height (or differ by no more than 2 feet). You may rotate the tweeter to correctly orient the JBL logo.

In a home theater configuration, the two surround speakers should be placed slightly behind the listening position

and, ideally, should face each other and be at a level higher than the listeners’ ears. If that is not possible, they may be placed in a wall behind the listening position, facing forward. The rear wall is the required mounting position for the surround back speakers in 6.1- and 7.1-channel system. The surround speakers should not call attention to themselves. They should provide a diffuse, ambient sound accompanying the main program material heard in the front speakers. In Dolby* Digital and DTS® systems, aim the tweeters toward the listening position at ear-level height.
