AIM Monitor LCR
Home Theater Monitors
Congratulations on your purchase of SpeakerCraft’s AIM Monitor LCR Speaker. The AIM Monitor LCR has been t imbre matched to SpeakerCraft’s MT and CRS series Speakers, providing an outstanding home theater experience.
The AIM Monitor LCR speaker can be used in any position of a home theater speaker system. A single AIM Monitor LCR can be used for the front center channel, or a pair can be used for front or rear left and right. Because the Monitor LCR speaker is magnetically shielded, it is perfectly safe to place it close to the television.

Use as a Center Channel Speaker
The AIM Monitor LCR has been designed to blend seam lessly with SpeakerCraft architectural in-wall and in-ceiling speakers, specifically the Mirror Image Technology (MT) Series. With the cabinet positioned horizontally, place the AIM Monitor LCR as close to the screen as possible. This most often means it will need to be placed directly on top of or just below the television with the front of the cabinet as far forward as possible, preferably flush with the screen. Vertically lining up the cabinet with the left and right speakers while not necessary, will improve the perfor mance. (Figure #1)
Use as Front Left and Right Speakers
When using the AIM Monitor tweeter towards the screen. (Figure #2) Best results are achieved when the left, right and center channel speakers are all the same distance away from the listener. The front left and right speakers should be placed so that they form an equilat eral triangle, with the listener at one point and each speaker at the other two. (Figure #3)
LCR for front left and right speakers, the cabinets should be positioned vertically with the

SPEAKER ADJUSTMENTS
Uni-Pivot Midrange / Tweeter Module
The Uni-Pivot can be used to best direct the critical high frequencies towards the listener. The Uni-Pivot easily rotates and pivots to almost any position desired. (See Diagram 8) Simply apply pressure with fingertips to the outer surface of the Uni-Pivot and rotate to the desired position. The Uni-Pivot should never be rotated more than 90˚ in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction. CAUTION: Be sure not to apply pressure to the tweeter dome, as permanent damage will probably occur.

Rotates Left to Right
• If the speakers are being used as main front channels, the Uni-Pivot should be angled towards the listener.
• If the speakers are being used for rear surround channels, you may wish to point the Uni-Pivot away from the listener to achieve a more diffused sound.
• If is mounted verticaly, the Uni-Pivot can be rotated to stand in an upright position. (See Diagram 5)
