SPEAKER PLACEMENT

speakers is an important
step in obtaining the most
realistic soundstage
possible. These recommendations are for
MODELS:N24,N24AW,N26,N26AW

As Surround Speakers
MODEL:N-CENTER
the optimum placement of
the loudspeakers. Use these
placement recommendations
as a guide. Slight variations
will not diminish your
listening pleasure.
The N-CENTER center-channel
loudspeaker is designed to
complement all of the
Northridge Series loudspeakers.
It is the ideal way to re-create
the cinematic experience in
your home.
™
All of the Northridge Series
loudspeakers referred to in
this guide are video-shielded
(except models N24AW and
N26AW) and can safely be
placed near a television.
Note for all-weather
models: While the
N24AW and N26AW are
weather-resistant, they
are not designed to be
immersed in water. Be
selective in your
outdoor placement.
Placing these speakers
under roof eaves or a
patio awning will offer
some shelter and help
contribute to years
of trouble-free
performance. When
installed outdoors, the
speakers should be
angled down slightly,
using the mounting
brackets that are
included with models
N24 and N24AW
(brackets are optional
for models N26 and
N26AW).

CONNECTION TIPS
Speakers and electronics
terminals have corresponding (+) and (–)
terminals. It is important to
connect both speakers
identically: (+) on the
speaker to (+) on the
amplifier and (–) on the
speaker to (–) on the
amplifier. Wiring “out of
phase” results in thin
sound, weak bass and a
poor stereo image.
