Introduction
Thank you for purchasing Sonance Cinema® Series in-wall speak-
ers. When properly installed, these speakers will deliver film
soundtracks and music with outstanding clarity and realism, even
in the largest home theater rooms. This manual covers the
Sonance Cinema Series LCR1, LCR2, SUR1 and SUR2 models.
5' – 7'
Use Figure 2 as a guide.
Box Contents
Surround Back
Channel Speakers
The surround back speakers in
a 6.1- or 7.1-channel system
should be placed on the rear
wall between 4 feet and 8 feet
apart, at least 5 feet from the
floor. Use Figure 3 as a guide.
Each Sonance Cinema Series speaker box contains the following:
(1) Cinema Series LCR or SUR speaker
(1) Paintable grille
(1) Allen wrench
(1) Mounting cutout template

Speaker Placement
NOTE: CINEMA SPEAKERS CAN BE ORIENTED EITHER VERTICALLY OR
HORIZONTALLY WITH NEARLY IDENTICAL PERFORMANCE. WHEN ORI-
ENTING THE CINEMA SUR1 AND SUR2 HORIZONTALLY, ROTATE
THE MIDRANGE/TWEETER PANEL 90° (SEE STEP 5, ON PAGE 2).
Left, Center & Right Channels
• Place the left & right speakers on either side of the video
screen, anywhere from 6 feet to 10 feet apart and 38 – 42
inches from the floor. The speakers should be at least 18
inches away from the side walls.
4' – 8'
5' – 7'
• If possible, locate the center speaker at the same height as the
left & right channel speakers (38 – 42 inches from the floor).
• If you must place the center speaker above or below a video
screen, place it no more than 2 feet above or below the center
of the left and right speakers. This will maintain consistent
tonality between all 3 front channel speakers.
FIGURE 3: SURROUND BACK SPEAKER PLACEMENT
• The main listening position should be between 8 and 12 feet away
from the speakers.
Before Installation
Use Figure 1 as a guide.
1. Determine the location for the speaker (see Speaker
Placement).
2. Perform an obstruction survey to be certain that there are no
studs, conduit, pipes, heating ducts, pocket doors or air
returns in the wall cavity that will interfere with the speaker.

4. Position the included cutout template where the speaker is to
be located and pencil an outline on the wall.
• If you are unsure about obstructions, drill 2 – 4 small holes
along the outline’s centerline and insert a coat hanger wire
into each hole to feel-around for possible obstructions.
