SPEAKER PLACEMENT (continued)
Placement Options for Guided Soundfield™ Models
Paradigm ® Guided Soundfield
9´ (2.74 m) high ceilings. They allow you to "guide" a wide-dispersion arc of sound toward a specific
area of the room in much the same way we guide a floodlight to flood an area with light.
For overall clarity and balanced bass performance, these speakers should be mounted in the ceiling
12" (30 cm) or more from the wall, as shown in figs. 2a to 2f.
NOTE: Guiding the sound should be done after connecting the speaker, but before final tightening of
flange screws. See "Fine Tuning the Guided Soundfield
Guided Soundfield™ Left/Right Speakers (Fig. 2a)
Follow the general guidelines for speaker placement provided at the beginning of the main section,
keeping in mind the distance from the front speakers to your primary listening area should be
10' (3 m) to 14' (4.3 m), as shown.
Adding a Guided Soundfield™ Center Speaker (Fig. 2b)
Follow the directions for placement given earlier, then position the center speaker between the L/R
speakers, with drivers pointed toward the center of the listening area.
GUIDED SOUNDFIELD™ SURROUNDS/REARS
These speakers are also ideal for use as surrounds/rears. "Guiding" the sound toward the sides
and rear of the room creates an enveloping, reverberant soundfield similar to that provided by
Paradigm ADP speakers. Keep in mind that speakers should be mounted 12" (30 cm) or more from
®
the wall.
5.1 Surround Placement (Fig. 2c)
Position one speaker on either side of the listening area, with drivers pointed toward the side walls.
6.1 Rear Placement (Fig. 2d)
Begin with the '5.1 Surround Placement' (above) then center one speaker behind the listening area
with drivers pointed toward the back wall.
7.1 Surround/Rear Placement (Fig. 2e)
Begin with the '5.1 Surround Placement' (above), then position another pair of speakers behind the
listening area, one slightly right, the other slightly left of the listening position, with drivers pointed
to the back of the room as shown.
Guided Soundfield™ for Direct-Radiating Surrounds/Rears (Fig. 2f)
Alternatively, these speakers may be used as direct-radiating speakers, positioned with drivers
pointed toward the listening area. Use fig. 2f as a guide to positioning as you experiment to achieve
optimal surround sound in your room.
Fine Tuning the Guided Soundfield™
Once you have decided on placement, connect the speaker following directions for Connection on
page 5. Before final tightening of the flange screws, rotate speaker until drive assembly points in the
desired direction. Then, follow directions for Installation on page 5. To readjust direction of sound, loosen
screws, rotate drive assembly until it points in the desired direction, then re-tighten screws.
