Home Theater Monitors

Congratulations on your purchase of SpeakerCraft’s AIM Monitor Speaker. The AIM Monitor has been

Timbre matched to SpeakerCraft’s MT and CRS series Speakers, providing an outstanding home theater experience.

SPEAKER PLACEMENT

The AIM Monitor speakers can be used for front or rear left and right channel in a home theater speaker system. Because the AIM Monitor speaker is magnetically shielded, it is perfectly safe to place it close to the television.

When using the AIM Monitor for fleft and right speakers, the cabinets should be positioned vertically with the tweeter towards the screen. Best results are achieved when the left and right channel speakers are all the same distance away from the listener. The front left and right speakers should be placed so that they form an equilateral triangle, with the listener at one point and each speaker at the other two. (Figure #1)

SPEAKER ADJUSTMENTS

The AIM Monitor Series speakers come from the factory with the tweeter facing straight out from the baffle. This will result in the overall smoothest response. However, depending on your particular primary area, room acoustics, ceiling height, or personal preference, you may find the sound more pleasing by pointing the tweeters in a particular direction. If additional treble is desired in the primary listening area, point the tweeter towards that area; and if less treble is required, point the tweeter away. When used in a home theater surround sound environment as side or rear channel speakers, the best result will be obtained by pointing the tweeters toward an adjacent wall. Push gently at the edge of the tweeter to point it in the desired direction. (See Diagram 3)

CAUTION: Avoid touching tweeter dome as damage WILL occur on metal dome tweeters

(MONITOR ONE and THREE).

• If the speakers are being used as main front channels, the Tweeter should be angled towards the listener.

• If the speakers are being used for rear surround channels, you may wish to point the Uni-Pivot away from

the listener to achieve a more diffused sound.

Once you have decided on the placement of the AIM Monitor following the above guidelines, attach the enclosed pads at each corner of the side that is placed down.
