SPEAKER PLACEMENT

MAIN LEFT AND RIGHT CHANNELS

TP160S, TP160, TP260

All DCM Loudspeakers have been engineered to combine deep powerful bass with crisp, natural high

frequency performance. Because there are so many factors that affect loudspeaker performance, there is

no universal rule for speaker location. Best results will be obtained with some experimentation using the

following guidelines.

To achieve the most realistic stereo image, position the speakers so that an equilateral triangle is formed

between the speakers and the listening position (Figure 1). Turning the speakers slightly towards the

listening position can improve the image focus.

Bass loudness can be increased by moving the speakers closer to the rear wall. This sometimes can

degrade the stereo image. Use your judgement as to what location best ﬁts your preferences.

SURROUND LEFT AND RIGHT CHANNELS

TP160S

If you are using the TP160S for rear channel speakers in a home theater application, they should be

placed on the side walls and slightly behind the listening position (Figure 1). If this is not practical, they

can be placed on the rear wall to either side of the listening position (Figure 2). For best results, the sur-

round speakers should be spaced equal distances from the listening position with the tweeters at or above

ear level.

TP160C

When using the TP160C as a center channel speaker in a home theater application the following guide-

lines should be used for optimum performance.

NOTES

Locate the speaker as close to the center of your TV or monitor as possible (Figure 3). This will anchor the

central image of your home theater to the location of the images seen on the screen.

Place the center channel at an equal distance to the listening position as the main speakers are. Also,

place the height of the center channel’s tweeter as close to the same height as the main speakers’ tweet-

ers (Figure 3). This will prevent image blurring when sounds are panned form the one side of the room

to the other.

TP160BDP

The TP160BDP speakers are shipped in mirror image pairs. One TP160BDP speaker is the “left” rear

channel speaker, and the other is the “right” rear channel speaker. The label near the input terminal identi-

ﬁes which speaker is which. The “left” surround speaker should be placed on the left side of the room as

you face the front of the room. The TP160BDP speakers feature a high frequency range bipole or dipole

setup, where the tweeters either ﬁre in phase (bipole) or out of phase (dipole). Bipole/Dipole speakers

take advantage of reﬂected sound to create a wide sound ﬁeld and they provide greater speaker place-

ment ﬂexibility. For this reason TP160BDP speakers have bipole/dipole switch which lets you choose the

mode in which they operate.

Although the electrical phase in bi-poles and di-poles is different, the basic construction of bi-poles and

di-poles is very similar. A brief description of phase; speciﬁcally being in phase and out of phase. In a

general sense, something is in phase if it acts in the same pattern and time session as something else,

and out of phase when it does not. Because controlling the way sound waves interact with each other is

a key component of home theater, it is important to deal with the concept of phase. Bi-pole and di-pole

speakers are designed speciﬁcally to help contribute to your surround sound ﬁeld.

In a Dipolar speaker, the two sets of speakers are out-of-phase with each other, while the drivers on one

side are pushing the opposite side is pulling. The result is that there is a reduced sound zone in the area

along the 90-degree axis of the speaker. When properly set up, a pair of di-pole speakers used as sur-

round speakers will provide very dynamic, enveloping rear effects. This allows you to listen without being

able to pinpoint the location of the speakers themselves. Ideal placement would include positioning the

speakers “in-line” with the preferred listening position. (See Figure 4)

In a Bipolar speaker, the two sets of drivers are in-phase with one another - both sides push air at the

same time. The result is greater sound output than from a di-pole conﬁguration. A bipolar speaker is more

likely to replicate a 360 sound ﬁeld throughout the room and works well if you need to position your sur-

round speakers behind your listening position. (See Figure 5 and 6)

Ideally, both bi-pole and di-pole speakers work best when mounted on the sides of the listening position

and use reﬂected sound off of the walls to produce their effects. It is recommend that once you have
