Speakers as Surrounds/Rears (Fig. B)
The Invisa HTR 7000 speakers are also ideal for use as surrounds/rears. In this confi guration, all channels are
positioned with the driver array aimed toward the listening area. When used as surround speakers in a 5.1 system,

HTR 7000 speakers may be located to the side or behind the listeners. When used on the sides, take care
never to locate the speakers forward of the listeners. If the speakers are installed behind as surrounds, it is suggested
that they be positioned fairly wide apart if possible. Installation in the rear corners is also a good surround speakers
location. Rear speakers in a 7.1 system should be placed fairly close together (4-6 feet) as shown. Use Fig. B as a
guide to positioning as you experiment to achieve optimal surround sound in your room.
5.1 Surround Placement (Fig B)
Position one speaker on either side of the listening area with the driver array aimed toward the center of the
listening area as shown. Alternatively, position each speaker behind the listener and as far apart as possible.
7.1 Surround/Rear Placement (Figure C)
Begin with the 5.1 Surround Placement (as above), then position another pair of speakers behind the listening area,
one slightly right, the other slightly left of the center listening position, with the driver array aimed toward the center
of the listening area as shown.

Speakers as HEIGHT Channels
The Invisa HTR 7000s also make perfect Height Channel speakers for the new object-oriented surround formats in
rooms with ceilings under 9' high. See fi gure D above for placement options. In this confi guration, the speakers are
to be located less than the minimum 8' from the listening area to preserve the “from above” location cues while
eliminating “hot spots” caused by direct radiating models in rooms with low ceilings.
