This mounting is an integral part of the High-Frequency Prism System. When the speakers are mounted properly, the tweeter will be angled away from the listening position. That means that the surround channel speakers should be mounted with the tweeter angled towards the back wall of the

This speaker often produces more output than the left and right speakers combined. This speaker should be of the highest possible quality, and as similar as possible in response and radiation pattern to the left and right speakers. Three identical speakers are best, unless the center chan

If the surrounds must be located close to the listeners, aiming them at the room walls or even the ceiling can help to reduce any directional effect.
