1. Most people place the subwoofer in the front of the room, near the sound input source,
for ease of connection. But since bass frequencies are omnidirectional the subwoofer can
be placed anywhere. Try placing it near a wall or a corner for increased bass.
2. The center channel speaker should be place directly in front of the listening position,
above or below the sound input source. If possible, tilt it as necessary to direct the sound
to ear level.
3. Mount the front speakers on the wall, directly to the left and right of the center channel
speaker. Angle them towards the listening postion. Preferably, the tweeters should be at
ear level.
4. Mount the satellite speakers on the wall, slightly behind the listening position, about
1 to 2 feet above ear level. If side placement isn’t possible place them to the rear of the
listening position and angle them forward.

Make sure you have all the necessary screws and brackets. There
should be ve brackets and one bag of screws. If any of these items
are missing, please contact Rockville.
Before you begin please make sure you have the proper tools and necessary accesso-
ries. For this installation you will need the following items:
• mounting brackets and screws (included)
• wall hooks (optional, not included)
• speaker cable (included)
• drill
• Phillips screw driver
Using two screws, secure one bracket to the back of each speaker
you wish to mount.
Now mark on the wall the place where you will be mounting your
speakers. Use the diagram from the POSITIONING THE SPEAKERS
section to determine the best location. Both front speakers should be
at the same height; the same goes for the satellite units. Remember to
keep speakers at least two feet away from corners, and make sure you
have enough wire to reach the mounting location.
You can use a screw or a mounting hook to hang the speaker. Use a
screw with a drywall insert or drive it into a wall stud to ensure that it
is securely fastened to the wall. Use a stud nder to locate the stud
and to make sure that there are no wires or cable lines located in that
area. Once the mounting hooks or screws are in place, you are ready
to begin mounting. Be sure to wire each speaker before mounting it to
the wall.
