SKC-L500C: Center speaker
This speaker enhances the front left and right speakers, making sound movements distinct and providing a full sound image. In movies it’s used mainly for dialog. Position it close to your TV facing forward at about ear level, or at the same height as the front left and right speakers.
SKM-L500S: Surround left and right speakers
These speakers are used for precise sound positioning and to add realistic ambience. Position them at the sides of the listener, or slightly behind, about 2–3 feet (60– 100 cm) above ear level. Ideally they should be equally spaced from the listener.
• The speaker cabinets are sensitive to extreme temper­atures and humidity, do not put them in locations sub­ject to direct sunlight or in humid places, such as near an air conditioner, humidifier, bathroom, or kitchen.
• Do not put water or other liquids close to the speak­ers. If liquid is spilled over the speakers, the drive units may be damaged.
• As explained in this manual, mount the speakers on a wall, or on the optional stands/brackets, otherwise, they may fall, causing personal injury or damage to the speakers.
Using Cork Spacers with the Speakers
We recommend using the supplied cork spacers to achieve the best possi­ble sound from your speakers. The cork spac­ers prevent the speakers from moving, providing a more stable setup.

Bottom of the SKM-L500S
The center speaker should be installed on the base securely. If the speaker is loose, try adjusting the posi­tion so that it sits securely on the base. The bottom of the center speaker and the top rear sur­face of the base feature each two stoppers to prevent the speaker from moving. Therefore, you can tilt the speaker toward the front by up to 15 degrees.

Wall Mounting
The speakers can easily be wall mounted by using the keyhole slots. To prevent the speaker from vibrating against the wall, attach four of the supplied cork spacers to the rear of each speaker.
Mounting vertically
To mount the speakers vertically, use the two keyhole slots shown to hang each speaker on two screws that are
securely screwed into the wall.

Center Speaker Base
Use the center speaker base to mount the center speaker horizontally. If you place the speaker and its base on top of a TV or an entertainment center, adjust the angle of the speaker so that it faces toward the listening position.
