Select the general wall area for one speaker

As you decide where you want each speaker grille, use the guidelines below:
CAUTION: Do not install near any heat sources, such as halogen lamps, registers, stoves, or
other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
• The two speakers should be a minimum of 5 feet (1.5 m) apart.
• For in-wall speakers providing stereo at the front of the room or home theater surround
sound from the rear, install them so each speaker grille is 4 to 6 feet (1.2 to 1.8 m) from the
floor for best performance.
• Neither speaker should be installed sideways in a wall; the enclosure should be either
above or below the speaker face.
• For in-wall home theater front speakers, install the pair horizontally aligned with the center
of the video screen (Figure 5).

(1.5m)
• For ceiling installation, pay attention to the direction of the speaker enclosure for best per-
formance for stereo (Figure 6a) or for home theater (Figure 6b).
