SP2 STEREO CONFIGURATION

Before deciding where to place your speakers, survey your room and think about
placement, keeping the following points in mind, using Figure 1 as a guide:

• Position each speaker so that the it is approximately at ear level

• Refer to the “Home Theater Configuration” section below if you plan to use
the speakers as part of a home theater system

SP5 HOME THEATER CONFIGURATION

Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 for speaker placement in a home theatre surround
configuration. Place the speakers on the included brackets (refer to the “Wall Mounting”
section below), or on bookshelves or table stands alongside the listening position.
Final placement depends on room acoustics, availability of space, and your listening
preference.

Left and Right Front Speakers – Position one speaker on the left and another on the
right, along either side of the television monitor.

Center Speaker – The dedicated center channel speaker is designed to be placed
either just above or below your TV/video monitor. You can place the center speaker
on the included center speaker base support stand. If you choose to wall mount the
center channel speaker to the wall instead of using its base support stand, please refer
to the “Wall Mounting” section below. Note: the center speaker should be positioned
horizontally (Figure 2), while all other M8 speakers should be positioned vertically.

Figure 2: This example shows the M8 mounted on its bracket above a

television and, alternatively, placed on its base above the television.
