Speaker Placement
Stereo Speaker Placement (2-Channel System)
• Place the left and right speakers anywhere from 6 - 10 feet
(1.8m – 3m) apart, with the main listening position as close to
midway between the speakers as possible.
• In most cases pivoting the C6R tweeter of each speaker
directly towards the main listening position will help maximize
the stereo soundstage. (The SST tweeters do not pivot)
Use the Left and Right speaker placement in Figures 2 and 3, on the
left side of image, as a guide.
Home Theater Speaker Placement
Left, Center & Right Speakers
• Place the left, center and right speakers 1 – 2 feet (0.3m – 0.6m)
in front of the video screen, 6 – 10 feet (1.8m – 3m) apart, with the
center channel speaker as close to midway between the left and
right speakers as possible.
• The main listening position should be 4 – 10 feet (1.2m – 2m) away
from the speakers.
Surround Speakers — 5.1-Channel System (see Figure 2)
• Locate the left and right surround speakers 2 – 6 feet (0.6m
–1.8m) behind the listening position. The speakers should be 6 –
10 feet (1.8m – 3m) apart.
Surround Speakers — 7.1-Channel System (see Figure 3)
• Left & Right Surround Speakers: Place the left and right surround
speakers directly to the sides of the listening position, 6 –10 feet
(1.8m – 3m) apart.
• Surround Back Speakers: Place the surround back speakers 2 – 6
feet (0.6m – 1.8m) behind the listening position. The surround
back speakers should be closer together than the left and right
surround speakers, 3 – 6 feet (0.9m – 1.8m) apart.

C SERIES ROUND SPEAKERS
Before Installation
1. Determine the location for the speaker (see Speaker Placement
on page 1).
2. Perform an obstruction survey using a stud finder to be certain that
there are no studs, conduit, pipes, heating, ducts, pocket doors or
air returns in the ceiling cavity that will interfere with the speaker.
If you are unsure about obstructions, drill a small hole in the center
of the outline and insert a coat hanger wire into the hole to feel
around for possible obstructions.
3. Cut the mounting hole using a keyhole or drywall saw, and run
the speaker wires from the mounting hole to the amplifier
location.
NOTE: CONSULT LOCAL BUILDING CODES BEFORE RUNNING
SPEAKER WIRES THROUGH CEILINGS.
I M P O R T A N T :
ALWAYS USE LOW
TORQUE SETTINGS;
NEVER OVER-TIGHTEN.
NOTE: ADJUST THE
TENSION OF THE ROTOLOCK CLAMPS SO THAT
THE SPEAKER FRAME IS
FLAT. THIS WILL HELP
ENSURE THAT THE GRILLE
CONTACTS THE CEILING
ALL THE WAY AROUND
THE SPEAKER FOR A
PROPER FIT.
Installation
Sonance C Series Speakers feature integral Roto-Lock
mounting system for quick mounting directly into existing ceilings.
1. Strip 1/4” – 1/2” (6mm – 12mm) of insulation from each speaker
lead. Twist the strands or tin the exposed wire with solder to
ensure that there are no stray strands.
NOTE: STRAY STRANDS THAT TOUCH EACH OTHER CAN CAUSE
A SHORT-CIRCUIT THAT CAN DAMAGE THE AMPLIFIER.
2. The speaker’s terminals are spring-loaded. Push the top of
each terminal down to open the connector and insert the
exposed wires into the holes in the spring terminals.
The speaker’s positive spring terminal is labeled with a red dot;
the negative spring terminal is labeled with a black dot. Double check that you connected amplifier “+” to speaker “+” and
amplifier “–” to speaker “–”.
5. The grille is held in
®
place by several small,
powerful magnets on
the speaker frame. Place
the grille against the
speaker and the magnets
will hold it firmly in place.
When properly installed,
the grille trim should
make contact with the wall
all the way around the
speaker.
3. Make sure all the Roto-Lock toggle feet are retracted so that
they are tucked within the mounting hole’s border. Insert the
speaker into the hole in the ceiling (Figure 5). The Roto Lock system can accommodate a ceiling material thickness of
1-1/4” (32mm).
4. Tighten the screws on the front of the speaker baffle. The
Roto-Lock toggle feet will automatically rotate into
position and begin clamping the speaker (Figure 6). When you
notice resistance on the screws the speaker has been clamped
successfully.
