4.1 Umístění
The center channel speaker is crucial for dialogue clarity in a home theater system. Proper placement ensures optimal sound delivery.
- Central Position: Place the speaker directly above or below your television or projection screen, centered horizontally.
- Ear Level: Ideally, the tweeter should be as close to ear level as possible when seated. The unique reversible design allows you to turn the cabinet upside down to aim the sound upwards if placed below ear level.
- Stabilní povrch: Ensure the speaker is placed on a stable, flat surface. Attach the included rubber feet to the bottom of the speaker to prevent vibrations and protect surfaces.
- Vzdálenost od zdi: While the rear port design delivers powerful bass, avoid placing the speaker directly against a wall, as this can muddy the sound. Allow a few inches of space if possible.
