LOUDSPEAKER PLACEMENT

The Niles PHD60/42/30 loudspeaker is designed for use in front left-, center-, or front right-

channel applications. Any model can be wall-mounted using its included wall-mount bracket.

For rear-channel applications, we recommend using a Niles HD FX or CM6HDfx loudspeaker.

PLACING PHD60/42/30’S AS THE FRONT LEFT AND

RIGHT LOUDSPEAKERS

In a home theater, the intelligibility of dialog and action reproduced by the front speakers is

paramount! The position of the loudspeakers plays a very important role in how clear the sound is

and how a stereo image is created.

The PHD60/42/30’s are designed speciﬁcally for use with plasma or ﬂat-panel displays in a home

theater system. The placement process is quick and easy:

• At the proposed site, make sure the sound will not be blocked or reflected off furniture

or other objects. The listener should have a direct line of sight with the front of each

loudspeaker. The ideal listening position (e.g., favorite chair or couch) should be

centered with the middle of plasma or flat-panel display

• Place the speakers with the ports on the bottom on either side of display, as shown

in Figure 1 (also see INSTALLING THE WALL-MOUNT BRACKETS on page 7). In

applications where there is a center channel, you may choose to space the left and

right main speakers farther apart for a “bigger than life” sound with Dolby

encoded

movies and TV shows.
