Location tips
• Select a stable, level base.
• Make sure that the environment is clean and free from
dust.
• Avoid placing the unit close to sources of heat or in
direct sunlight.
• Do not place any heavy objects on the cables or the
speakers.
• Mounting material especially attuned to these speakers
(cables, speaker stands, wall mount brackets and isola-
tion pads) is available via our web shop.
The following data refers to an “ideal home cinema”, in
which the viewer or listener sits in a central position at
sufficient distance in front of the television or screen (see
graphic to the right) and no objects (tables or the like) are
located in between. Unfortunately, the room, furnishings
or other circumstances do not always allow for optimum
arrangement.
Modern AV receivers offer many ways to compensate for
any deficiencies in placement. The following general rule
applies: You can always experiment on what works best
in your listening room in terms of sound and appearance
based on our recommendations. Let your ears (and eyes)
decide!

Center speaker
• Place the center speaker b directly centred under the
screen.
Front speakers
• The two front speakers a are placed to the right and
left of the screen.
• They should form, as far as possible, an equilateral
triangle with the listener – what is known as the stereo
triangle (distance to listener = distance between speak-
ers).
• The laterally placed subwoofer can point inwards
(towards the centre of the room) or outwards (towards
the room wall). If the subwoofer is projecting sound
towards the wall a higher bass level is to be expected.
Experimentalize which ratio delivers the best sound in
your room according to your listening sensation.
• The speakers should project sound directly into the
room or slightly towards the listener.
Dipole rear speakers
A toggle switch is located between the connector termi-
nals of the dipole rear speakers H 600 D. You can use it
to switch between normal and dipole mode. The sound is
emitted from the front and back in dipole mode.
There are two possible arrangements for these speakers:
Normally, the dipole rear speakers are set up or hung up
at head height (140 to 210 cm) to the side of the listener.
In the process, the speakers are switched to dipole mode
and project sound to the front and back. The distance to
the rear wall should be no less than 10 cm.
The second arrangement possibility is suitable for narrow
rooms. In this case, the rear speakers are placed at a
height of 140 to 210 cm behind the listener and situated
at a 45 degree angle. This way, the speakers project
sound towards the walls and produce the desired spatial
diffusion in dipole mode. The distance to the walls should
not be less than 10 cm in this case.
