[. . . ] For some Dolby Digital recordings, however­those with lots of lateral sound positioning crafted into the rear channels­the bipolar mode of our MultiPole systems allows them to act as wide dispersion direct radiators, for more focused sound. In particular, some current Dolby Digital music recordings feature vocalists spread between rear speakers. Bipole mode offers the most precise positioning of these sounds. Dipole Bipole 3 Placement The Surround 5. 1 and The Surround II 5. 1 should be positioned in a room according to the following guidelines. Be sure to observe the "LEFT" or "RIGHT" markings on each surround speaker. Mount the "LEFT" speaker on a surface to the listener's left and the the "RIGHT" speaker on a surface to the listener's right. If possible, mount each surround speaker to a side wall, not a rear wall. Avoid placing the speakers too far behind the listening position. If you do not have walls on both sides of your listening location, it is possible to ceiling mount one or both of the surround speakers. Cambridge SoundWorks has mounting hardware available for mounting the surround speakers to vertical surfaces. For more information, call a Cambridge SoundWorks Audio/ Video Consultant at 1-877-YES-HIFI. Ideally, you should have more separation between the two surround speakers than between the Left and Right Main speakers. These feet will insure a secure, vibration-free installation. Adjust the screw of each anchor so that the surround speaker can be hung on it with just a small amount of pressure. · If you need to mount one of the Surround speakers on a surface that is not vertical, you can use our special swivel mounts, available from your store or directly from Cambridge SoundWorks.

About Amplifier Power · For Dolby Surround-encoded program material, Dolby Laboratories recommends the combined amplifier power for both surround speakers need be only one-half that provided for one main front channel (there's no harm in having more). · Dolby Digital (AC-3) systems can justify more power to the rear left and rear right channels. · The power needed varies significantly with such factors as the size of the listening room, its acoustics and furnishings, the type of music you listen to, and how loud you like it to play. · The Surround 5. 1 can be used safely to play music with the most powerful amplifiers and receivers designed for home listening. We suggest that The Surround II 5. 1 speakers be used with amplifiers rated at 50 watts per speaker or less. Most Pro Logic amplifiers (not Dolby Digital amplifiers) cite only the combined power sent to both rear speakers.
