Speaker placement and positioning | Acoustimass® 16 home entertainment speaker system

Placement Suggestions:

Left and Right front speakers
  1. Place the cube speakers on line with the horizontal center of the TV screen or higher.
  2. Place the cube speakers 6 to 15 feet apart.
  3. Direct one cube of each array towards the listening area. Direct the other cube towards a wall or other direction to create reflected sound.
  4. The cube speakers are magnetically shielded and may be placed near a TV monitor.
Center speaker
  1. Sound from the center speaker should seem to come from the center of the TV screen.
  2. Place the speaker either above or below the TV, on line with the vertical center of the screen.
  3. Direct each cube of the array slightly away from center to create a wider area of direct sound.
Left and Right rear speakers
  1. The rear (surround) speakers should be located in the rear half of the room, preferably behind the listener.
  2. Place the speakers at ear level or higher.
  3. Position one cube of the array in the general direction of the listener. Direct the other cube towards a back wall or other direction to create reflected sound.
Rear Center speaker
  1. Place the speaker centered between the rear left, and rear right speakers.
  2. Aim each cube slightly away from center to create a wide area of direct sound
Acoustimass Module
  1. Place the e Acoustimass module along the same wall as the TV.
  2. The Acoustimass module can safely sit on its side, but do not stand it on the end with the port or on the end opposite the port.
  3. Do not block the vent openings at the back of the Acoustimass module. This could cause the module to overheat.
  4. The Acoustimass module is not magnetically shielded, and must be placed at least 18 to 24 inches from a TV monitor.
    Note: Only CRT style TVs are affected. This includes Tube style TVs and Rear Projections with CRTs
