Multiple Speakers, Distributed Audio (Fig. 1a)
In larger areas (offices, etc.) multiple speakers may be used to eliminate the sound imbalances
that occur with separate stereo speakers as people move around the room, or are seated closer
to one speaker than the other. Position speakers to achieve the broadest sound coverage in the
main listening area. The angled XTC8-HT can be useful to help aim and focus sound towards an
area you are trying to cover.
Placement Options (Aimable XTC8-HT Speaker)
XTC8--HT speakers are optimized for use in rooms with ceiling heights ranging from 8–9 feet
(2.4–
2.74m). Point the tweeter toward the primary listening position. For overall clarity and balanced
bass performance, these speakers should be mounted in the ceiling 12 inches (30 cm) or more
from the wall, as shown in Figs. 3a to 3f.
Front Channel Placement (Fig. 3a & 3b)
Follow the general guidelines for speaker placement provided at the beginning of the main
section
keeping in mind the distance from the front speakers to your primary listening area should be
10–14 feet (3–4.3m), as shown. Point the drivers toward the primary listening position.
Non-Direct Radiating Surround/Rear Placement
These speakers are also ideal for use as surround or surround back channels. Aiming the speaker
so sound bounces off the walls creates an enveloping, reverberant sound field. Keep in mind that
speakers should be mounted 12 inches (30 cm) or more from the wall.
• 5.1-Channel Surround Placement (Fig. 3c): Position one speaker on either side of the listening
area, with drivers pointed toward the side walls.
• 6.1-Channel Rear Placement (Fig. 3d): Begin with ‘5.1-Channel Surround Placement’ (above).
Center one speaker behind the listening area with drivers pointed toward the back wall.
• 7.1-Channel Rear Placement (Fig. 3e): Begin with ‘5.1-Channel Surround Placement’ (above).
Position another pair of XTC8-HT speakers behind the listening area, one slightly to the right,
the other slightly to the left, with drivers pointed to the back of the room as shown.
Direct Radiating Surround/Rear Center Placement (Fig. 3f)
The XTC8-HT may be used as direct-radiating speakers, positioned with drivers pointed toward
the
listening area. Use Fig. 3f as a guide to positioning as you experiment to achieve optimal
surround
sound in your room.
