Positioning Loudspeakers - Home Theater
6’ - 16’

CENTER
The same general positioning rules as for stereo apply but these are some variations.
• The loudspeakers can be placed closer together. Remember that the closer the speakers are to one another,
the less spacious the sound will be in stereo.
• The “toe-in” can be lessened. This will broaden the sound image for more than one listener, but the pinpoint
localization of the speakers will be lessened.
• The fronts of the speakers should be in line with the screen and with the front of the center loudspeaker as
far as possible. Placing the TV screen on the wall (and center channel directly above or below) with the main
loudspeakers protruding signicantly is not ideal.
• The TV should be placed centrally between the loudspeakers.
The above are our recommendations. Be prepared to experiment until the sound is exactly as you want!
GeneralObservations
• When conguring the bass management parameters of your surround processor, the P-38F, P-37F and P-17B
models can be set to “large”. In cases where the processor has the ability to select the crossover frequency to
a lower setting you may nd improved performance by selecting “small” and then setting a crossover fre-
quency in the range of 40-60Hz.
• If your processor oers the ability for separate crossover settings for stereo and you are using a subwoofer,
the subwoofer crossover frequency should be set so that it covers only the lowest octaves. Select a frequency
in the range of 60-70Hz.
