Home Theater Setup
The
illustration above demonstrates how the on-wall and in-wall Clarté can be
positioned for a typical left, right, and center channel home theater setup.
Note that the units should be positioned so that the tweeters are on the
outside.
Speaker Placement
The Cinénova Clarté speakers were designed to be mounted either on or flush
with the walls depending on the model. To optimize their acoustics you should
follow these simple guidelines.
For the best stereo reproduction, the speakers should be placed an equal
distance from your listening position and separated so that the angle between
them is be- Meen 40° and 60°. The units should also be placed with the teeters
on the outside and near ear level about 3 to 4 feet from the floor.This will
ensure that you receive the best possible performance from your listening
position.
