    Components You'll Need

    A passive speaker: it needs an AV receiver or stereo amplifier. For films, add a matching centre, surrounds and a subwoofer.

    Installation Considerations

    Applies to both models:

    • Keep the pair equally spaced from side walls and away from corners
    • Toe the speakers in slightly towards the main seat
    • Leave space behind for the port and cables
    • Set speaker size and crossover in the AV receiver during calibration
