Angle the speakers toward the middle as necessary in order to support a more solid center image. And experiment with the distance between your speakers and both the back and side walls. You'll experience some bass boost with the speakers located close to walls. The LSi M Series bookshelf loudspeakers were designed to provide excellent performance on a bookshelf or placed on a floor stand. For best results place LSiM bookshelf loudspeakers so the tweeter height is within 6" (15cm) of seated ear height. When using speaker stands, select sturdy stands 30" - 36" (76.2 - 91.4cm) high. If you are using your LSi M Series bookshelf loudspeakers as rear channels in a home theater system, they should be placed on the rear or side walls, slightly above (and, on the side walls behind) the listening position. Angle them toward the listening area if possible. Center Channel Loudspeaker With today's modern flat panel TVs, the most popular placement, and our recommendation for your center channel speaker, is beneath your TV screen. You may also place your center channel above your TV should you choose. LSiM center channel loudspeakers are very heavy, and we do not recommend wall mounting them, unless placed on a sturdy shelf. Note: If you have an older model television, you could experience a color shift or image distortion in your TV's screen. If that is the case, move the speaker away from your TV. F/X Surround Loudspeakers The LSiM Series surround loudspeakers must be wallmounted, either on side walls or rear walls; they have built-in wall mounting keyhole slots. Mount the loudspeakers 6-8 feet off the floor. If you're setting up a 7.1 system, mount the Surround Back Left and Surround Back Right loudspeakers at the same height as the Surround Left and Surround Right loudspeakers. Make sure the material on which you plan to mount the speakers (plaster, drywall, paneling, stone, etc.) can support the weight of the speakers (LSi M702f/x = approx 28.9 lbs/ 13.1 kg ea). Be aware of any electrical wiring or plumbing that may be behind your walls. Note: The LSi M702f/x Surround Loudspeaker should be oriented so that its Dynamic Sonic Engine (3 1/4" mid-range and 1" Ring Radiator tweeter) points toward your listening area. Therefore, the F/X surround loudspeaker that would serve as the right surround on a sidewall will become the left surround on a rear wall. 8 Polk Audio Customer Service: 1-800-377-7655 (Outside US & Canada: +1 410-358-3600) Monday-Friday, 9:00 AM-5:30 PM EST, [email protected]
