SPEAKER PLACEMENT GUIDELINES (all models)
For placement of ADP
™
Surround/Rear speakers see the additional placement guidelines that follow farther
below. If your speakers have ‘SM’ in their model name, or feature a Guided Soundfield
™
, also see placement
options and additional recommendations beginning farther down the page.
Location
When installing your speaker, pick a location between studs or ceiling joists. Be careful not to damage any
wires when you cut the installation hole.
Accurate Timbre and Imaging
Our in-wall/in-ceiling speakers feature wide, uniform dispersion and can be installed almost anywhere. For
the most accurate timbre and imaging however, place stereo pairs approximately equal distance apart and
select locations that allow sound to reach the listening area unobstructed.
Bass Performance
Placing speakers near corners will emphasize bass. For more balanced sound, we recommend avoiding
corners when considering speaker placement.
Placement of ADP
™
Surround/Rear Speakers
Paradigm
®
Reference ADP
™
in-wall/in-ceiling Surround/Rear speakers accurately reproduce the ambience
and sound effects critical to achieving the full dimension of multichannel sound. They are full bandwidth
designs, precisely timbre-matched to Paradigm
®
front and center speakers to ensure a seamless
multichannel soundstage in a large, reverberant soundfield.
5.1 Surround Placement
Mount your ADP
™
surround speakers on either side of the main listening area (Fig. 1a).
6.1 Surround/Rear Placement
Begin with the 5.1 surround configuration outlined above, then mount one speaker in the center rear, behind
the primary listening area (Fig. 1b).
7.1 Surround/Rear Placement
Begin with the 5.1 surround configuration outlined earlier. Place another pair of ADP
™
speakers behind the primary
listening area: one speaker positioned slightly right of the seating position and the other slightly left (Fig. 1c).
Placement Options for ‘SM’ Models
Paradigm
®
and Paradigm
®
Reference ‘SM’ speakers offer two options for connection:
• Stereo Input: Wide dispersion “Left plus Right” channel sound from a single ‘SM’ speaker.
• Mono Input: Very wide dispersion stereo sound from two ‘SM’ speakers, one for the left, and one for the right.
With their Dual-Directional Soundfield
™
, ‘SM’ speakers provide wider than normal dispersion, allowing them
to be used in a variety of applications:
Single Speaker, Wide Dispersion “Left plus Right” Channel Sound (Fig. 2a)
Ideal in smaller areas less suited to a stereo pair of speakers or where a single speaker is the preferred
choice. The speaker is connected to both left and right amplifier channels. Position speakers to achieve the
broadest sound coverage across the main listening area.
Multiple Speakers, Distributed “Left plus Right” Channel Sound (Fig. 2b)
In larger areas (offices, on the boat deck, etc.) multiple speakers (each wired for “Left plus Right” channel
sound) may be used to eliminate the sound imbalances that occur with separate stereo speakers as people
move around, or are seated closer to one speaker than the other. Position speakers to achieve the broadest
sound coverage across the main listening area.
