Installation Requirements
and Recommendations
What’s included
• Template • Speaker • Grille
For this setup, use a
multi-stranded wiring designed
for amplifier to speaker connections. The gauge of wire used
can have an impact on the performance of your speakers and
we would recommend that you
choose the largest wire size that
is practical for your installation.
Which gauge to select depends
on the length of wire to be used
on any particular speaker. In
general the shorter the run the
smaller the wire size you can
use, however you can never go
wrong by using a thicker gauge.

C60 COLLECTION INSTALLATION MANUAL
Speaker Placement
3.1
Place the center channel (CC)
speaker directly above or
below the video display, preferably equidistant from the
walls on the le and right. The
le (L) and right (R) speakers
should be on the same wall on
either side of the video display,
with the center speaker exactly
between them. It’s better if
the le and right speakers are
closer to the screen rather than
further from it.
It’s best if all three front speakers about 3.5 feet (1 m) from the
floor, however there’s a good
chance that the center speaker
will have to be lower or higher
than the others.
The speakers can be installed
either vertically or horizontally.
For better sound quality, avoid
installing the speakers near
corners.
5.1
In addition to the le, right,
and center speakers described
in the 3.1 setup, install the surround le and right speakers
on the le and right walls. They
should be a few feet behind the
listening area, and about 5 feet
(1.5 m) from the floor.
7.1
The front le, right, and center
speakers should be in the same
location as the previous two
setups described. The surround
le and right speakers should
be about 5 feet (1.5 m) from the
floor, directly to either side of
the listening area. Finally, the
rear speakers should be on the
back wall, about 5 feet (1.5 m)
from the floor and 3 to 6 feet (1
to 2 m) apart. If possible, make
sure that the distance between
the rear speakers is the same as
the distance between the front
le and right speakers.
