Setting Up The Speakers.7 - Yamaha NS-AW150 Owner's Manual

SETTING UP THE SPEAKERS
INDOOR PLACEMENT
This speaker is designed to be used as a main, surround or effects speaker.
— Main speaker placement should be separated by a distance of 6-1 Oft. If they are placed too close
together, there will be a reduction in the stereo effect. Conversely, If placed too for apart, the so called
"middle-omission" effect will occur and the vocal center fill will be lost. Heigh of the speaker should be
at least at ear level.
— Center channel speakers should be placed centered above or below the TV.
— Surround speakers should ideally be placed behind the listening area, At least as far apart as the
main speakers and up to 2 additional feet apart per side.The height of the speaker should be at a
minimum of ear level or preferably somewhat higher.

OUTDOOR PLACEMENT
Your speaker system has water-resistant enclosures that protect the speakers form
the elements when mounted outdoors.These speakers are designed with a wide
dispersion pattern which means you will get good sound quality over a large
listening area. (100 ft^ to approximately 400 ft^).Please note:if the listening area is
too large, and the speakers are positioned too far apart,"middle-omission" effect
(lack of sound in an area between the speakers) will occur and/or "hot spots"
(loud sound near the speaker) will develop.
Try to place the speakers between S'-IO' apart for good stereo listening. It is
suggested for larger areas (over 400 ft^ to about 600 ft^) two pairs of speakers
be used, see below.
NOTE:
1 pair of speakers should be
used for every 200-400 ft
