Quick guidance

Plan speaker locations around the main seating position first, then aim for left and right symmetry so surround effects feel natural. Use the surround mode and compensation settings to fine-tune coverage and brightness after install. If you want help matching this to your room layout and the rest of your system, contact us and we will recommend the cleanest setup.

1. Is this for surround sound only, or can I use it for music too?
   It’s optimized for surround channels, but it can play music. For main left and right music zones, a standard in-ceiling pair is usually the better pick.
   
2. Where should I place it in a surround setup?
   Typically in the ceiling slightly behind the main seating area for rear surrounds, or above and to the sides depending on your layout. Aim for symmetry and equal distance when possible.
   
3. Will it work with my AV receiver?
   Yes. It connects like a normal passive speaker to your receiver’s surround speaker outputs. Use the receiver’s setup and calibration to balance levels.
