K-5/K-7 SATELLITE SPEAKER FIGURE 2 There are a very wide variety of premium speaker cables available from a number of specialist manufacturers. We do not endorse any specific brand of premium cable, but we do recommend using as high quality a cable as fits your budget. - Page 6 K-5/K-7 SATELLITE SPEAKER FIGURE 3 Left Speaker B. LOCATION AWAY FROM REFLECTING SURFACES Your Speakers should be located, whenever practical, away from walls, the floor, furniture, or any other reflecting surfaces. Do the best you can. Objects close to the speaker will reflect sound, and this reflected sound arrives at your ear slightly later than the direct sound, which blurs sonic imaging and makes transients seem muted.

K-5/K-7 SATELLITE SPEAKER 6. HOME THEATRE USAGE LEVEL-MATCHING The factor most critical to achieving excellent Home Theatre performance is level-matching the three front and two surround channels. This is even more important than timbre-matching. We strongly recommend that you purchase a Radio Shack Sound Level Meter which is a vailable for less than about $50 (get the analog meter, not the digital) and use it to measure the output of the speakers when playing the test tones generated by your processor or receiver. -

K-5/K-7 SATELLITE SPEAKER There is a great deal of latitude in this area, as it is one of personal preference (especially if you will listen to music without video). It is also preferred that the speakers be equidistant from the listening position. Equidistant usually means that when the center speaker is on top of the television, the left and right speakers will sit in front of the set (they will be farther from the wall behind the TV than the center speaker). -

K-5/K-7 SATELLITE SPEAKER This clipping distortion occurs when the demands of the music are greater than the amplifier's available power. It can occur at 20 watts with a small amplifier, or at 200 watts with a large amplifier. When this happens, the amplifier's output waveform (which should look like a smooth arc) is "clipped"... - Page 11 K-5/K-7 SATELLITE SPEAKER Locate the subwoofer. The best place for the subwoofer is the corner with the best structural strength. If the corners are roughly equal in construction, use the corner nearest the listening position. If the listening position is in the front half of the room, place the subwoofer in a front corner. If it is in the back of the room, place the subwoofer in a back corner.

NOTE: If you using identical speakers anywhere in your system (e.g., K-5 or K-7 speakers for the left, center, and right channels), all of those channels should be set to the same level. If your meter measures a different level, it is probably a limitation of this type of meter measurement method and not an actual audible level difference. -
