SPEAKER PLACEMENT

MAIN LEFT AND RIGHT CHANNELS
TP160S, TP160, TP260
All DCM Loudspeakers have been engineered to combine deep powerful bass with crisp, natural high
frequency performance. Because there are so many factors that affect loudspeaker performance, there is
no universal rule for speaker location. Best results will be obtained with some experimentation using the
following guidelines.
To achieve the most realistic stereo image, position the speakers so that an equilateral triangle is formed
between the speakers and the listening position (Figure 1). Turning the speakers slightly towards the
listening position can improve the image focus.
Bass loudness can be increased by moving the speakers closer to the rear wall. This sometimes can
degrade the stereo image. Use your judgement as to what location best fits your preferences.
SURROUND LEFT AND RIGHT CHANNELS
TP160S
If you are using the TP160S for rear channel speakers in a home theater application, they should be
placed on the side walls and slightly behind the listening position (Figure 1). If this is not practical, they
can be placed on the rear wall to either side of the listening position (Figure 2). For best results, the sur-
round speakers should be spaced equal distances from the listening position with the tweeters at or above
ear level.
