7 - CHANNEL HOME THEATER PLACEMENT  
PN. 33-2931  
Try to apply as many of the following suggestions when using four  
Ellipse SUR speakers as your surround speakers.  
INTRODUCTION  
Front surround speakers can be located directly to the sides of the  
seating or approximately two to three feet in front of the seating for  
better integration with the left, center and right speakers. The  
speakers should be oriented so the coaxial drivers face the front and  
rear walls of the room.  
Thank you for purchasing the Sonance Ellipse SUR in-ceiling speaker.  
When properly installed, this product will provide you with years of  
entertainment pleasure.  
To obtain the full potential of your new speakers, please read all  
instructions before starting the installation. If you do not have the  
necessary skills to install the speakers yourself, contact your authorized  
Sonance dealer for installation options.  
Rear surround speakers should be located approximately four to eight  
feet behind the seating and the speakers should be separated six to  
ten feet apart. The speakers should be oriented so the coaxial drivers  
face the left and right side walls of the room.

5 - CHANNEL HOME THEATER PLACEMENT  
ALTERNATIVE PLACEMENT OPTIONS  
In many installations the main seating will be against the rear wall of  
the room. In this type of room we suggest locating the speakers  
approximately two feet from the rear wall and spaced from ten to  
fifteen feet apart.  
The ideal location for the Ellipse SUR is two to four feet behind the  
listening position with the speakers separated approximately eight to  
twelve feet.  
The speakers should be oriented so the coaxial drivers face the front  
and rear walls of the room.  
Locating the speakers in this way will provide a more diffuse surround  
presentation.

INSTALLING THE SPEAKERS  
Step 1  
Remove the paint plug from the  
speaker. Attach the wire from your  
amplifier to the terminals on the back of  
the speaker. Double check the polarity  
of the speaker wires, amplifier + to  
speaker + and amplifier - to speaker -.  
Proper polarity is critical in home theater  
installations.  
Step 2  
To install the Ellipse LCR, insert one side  
of the Flexbar clamps through the hole  
in the drywall. Once the feet are  
through the hole, insert the other side of  
the Flexbars into the cutout.  
Note: The maximum clamp thickness is  
1-1/4" (32mm)  
PAINTING THE SPEAKERS AND GRILLES  
Speakers and grilles can be painted before installation, which will  
eliminate the "paint scar" if the speaker needs to be removed for  
service. Speakers may also be painted after installation, but before the  
grilles are attached. All speakers come from the factory fitted with a  
plastic "paint plug." Use the paint plug to protect the drivers while the  
flange is being painted with the ceiling.  
Sonance suggests always painting the grilles separate from the  
speaker. The grilles may be lightly sprayed with thin paint (5 parts  
thinning agent to 1 part paint), but be careful not to plug the holes.  
Too much paint will adversely affect the sound of the speaker.  
Step 3  
Tighten the four screws on the front of  
the baffle. The Flexbars will  
automatically begin clamping the  
speaker. When you notice resistance on  
the four screws, the speaker has been  
clamped successfully.  
Once the grilles and flange are painted and dry, remove the paint plug  
from the flange and install the grilles.  
The flange is designed to flex and  
conform to any small imperfections in  
the wall surface. The screws should not  
be tightened so far that the flange bows  
out.  
Step 4  
After the four Flexbar screws are  
tightened the grille can be installed.  
Insert about half of the grille into the  
groove at the edge of the speaker.  
Gently fit the remaining half of the grill  
into the speaker by working your hands  
around the speaker fitting the grille into  
the groove as you go along.  
Note: The torque applied to the  
mounting screws can be adjusted for  
proper grille fit.
