SPEAKER PLACEMENT
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.
All of the Studio Series
loudspeakers are videoshielded and can safely be
placed near a television.
As Front Speakers
As Surround Speakers
MODEL: S26II
The S38II can be oriented
either horizontally or
vertically; however, best
performance will result from
horizontal placement. The
logo may be oriented as
needed by gently pulling it
out slightly, rotating it, and
releasing it so that it snaps
into place. Although these
loudspeakers are designed
as a mirrored pair, the
decision as to which one is
left or right will depend on
the amount of space left
between them.
Less than 6 – 8 feet
More than 6 – 8 feet
0-2 ft.
This placement provides a
wide spread in sound,
supplemented by the center
channel speaker.
A wider stereo image is
presented with the
tweeter/midrange array
outboard, and a tighter image
is presented with the array
inboard.
