Speaker placement and positioning | Lifestyle® 650 home entertainment system
Placement suggestions:
Front speakers

- Place one speaker to the left and one speaker to the right of the TV
- Keep each speaker within 3 feet of the TV, if possible
- Keep speakers at least 3 feet apart
- Aim the speakers toward the listening area
- When placing the speakers in an enclosed bookcase shelf, position them at the front edge of the shelf
- Place the center speaker on a stable and level surface directly above or below the TV
- The rear (surround) speakers should be located in the rear half of the room, preferably behind the listener
- Place the speakers at ear level or higher if possible
- Place the console near the TV. Do NOT place the TV on top of the console
- Make sure there is an AC (mains) outlet nearby
- Stand the Acoustimass module on its rubber feet along the same wall as the TV, or along any other wall in the front third of the room
- Do not block the vent openings at the back of the Acoustimass module. This could cause the module to overheat
- 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
- 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 projection with CRTs - Choose a stable and level surface. Vibration can cause the Acoustimass module to move, particularly on smooth surfaces like marble, glass or highly polished wood
- Make sure there is an AC (mains) outlet nearby
- Place the SoundTouch wireless adapter within 1 to 6 ft. (.3 to 1.8 m) of the console
- Do not connect the adapter to the console until prompted by the SoundTouch app
