of speakers on a bookshelf or table so

listening area and the point halfway
between the speakers.

If you must place the speakers f arther
apart, turn them slightly inward. If you
must place them closer to ea ch other,
turn them slightly outward. You might
want to experiment with your speakers’ placement to discover the best location for them.
CONNECTIONS
With a pair of speakers placed in their
approximate locations, measure the
distance from each speaker to your receiver/am pl ifi er. Use 1 8-g auge spe ake r
wire for distances of 50 feet or less.
Use heavier 16-gauge wire for distances greater than 50 feet.
For maximum bass res ponse and the
best overall performance, connect
your speakers so they are in phase
with the receiv er / a mplifier te rminals (+
to + and – to –). Y ou can eas ily mak e
