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.
