Sonance Symphony Single Stereo Technology SST and SSTR speakers are ideal for
Left & Right Surround Speakers: Place the left and right surround speak-
use in hallways, bathrooms, closets, or in any location where a pair of stereo speak-
ers would be impractical. Because a single Symphony SST/SSTR speaker reproduces
both stereo channels from a single location, it will deliver outstanding perform-
ance from an extremely wide variety of mounting locations. The chart in Figure 1
shows how far apart the speakers can be placed at different ceiling heights while
still providing good coverage for distributed audio (as shown in Figure 2).

Surround Back Speakers: Place the surround back speakers between 2 feet
and 6 feet behind the listening position. The surround back speakers should be
closer together than the left and right surround speakers — between 3 feet and
6 feet apart.
Use Figure 4 as a guide.

The S623SSTR has a tweeter level

Level Control
Once you have installed the speakers,
listen to a variety of music that you
are familiar with. If the music all
tends to sound too bright or dull, use
the Tweeter Level Control to compensate. If some recordings sound dull and some
sound bright the speaker is accurately reproducing differences in the recordings,
and you should leave the control in the middle (0dB) position.
