DE7 Speaker Placement/Mounting
All components in the DE7 models are mounted symmetrically and centered so each speaker
can be used for either the left or the right channel. The DE7 high definition bookshelf
speakers should be mounted with wall mount brackets or placed on speaker stands so that
the tweeters are at ear level when seated in the primary listening position. The flattest
response is obtained when the rear plane of the speaker is mounted 4” to 8” from the wall
and as far away from side walls as possible. Do not place the rear of the speaker closer than 4”
to the wall, or the air load will detune the port and adversely affect the DE7’s low frequency
performance. When mounting to a wall, make sure that the mounting brackets and the wall
structure (preferably a wooden stud) can support a 15 lb. speaker.
If you will be using the DE7s in a home theater setup, please refer to the Home Theater
Speaker Placement Guide document that is included on the user CD. If you will be using the
DE7s in a two channel music only system, a 60 degree angle between the speakers is
preferred as shown below. A list of D1 and corresponding D2 follows on the next page.
