SpeakerCraft®
Congratulations on your purchase of SpeakerCraft’s AIM Monitor LCR Speaker. The AIM Monitor LCR has
been t imbre matched to SpeakerCraft’s MT and CRS series Speakers, providing an outstanding home
theater experience.
SPEAKER PLACEMENT
The AIM Monitor LCR speaker can be used in any position
of a home theater speaker system. A single AIM Monitor
LCR can be used for the front center channel, or a pair can
be used for front or rear left and right. Because the AIM
Monitor LCR speaker is magnetically shielded, it is perfectly
safe to place it close to the television.
Use as a Center Channel Speaker
The AIM Monitor LCR has been designed to blend seam-
lessly with SpeakerCraft architectural in-wall and
in-ceiling speakers, specifically the Mirror Image Technology
(MT) Series. With the cabinet positioned horizontally, place
the AIM Monitor LCR as close to the screen as possible.
This most often means it will need to be placed directly
on top of or just below the television with the front of the
cabinet as far forward as possible, preferably flush with the
screen. Vertically lining up the cabinet with the left and
right speakers while not necessary, will improve the perfor-
mance. (Figure #1)

Or Below
Use as Front Left and Right Speakers
When using the AIM Monitor LCR for front left and right speakers, the cabinets should be positioned vertically with the
tweeter towards the screen. (Figure #2) Best results are achieved when the left, right and center 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 equilat-
eral triangle, with the listener at one point and each speaker at the other two. (Figure #3)

SPEAKER ADJUSTMENTS
Uni-Pivot Midrange / Tweeter Module
The Uni-Pivot can be used to best direct the critical high frequencies towards the listener. The Uni-Pivot easily rotates and pivots
to almost any position desired. (See Diagram 8) Simply apply pressure with fingertips to the outer surface of the Uni-Pivot and
rotate to the desired position. The Uni-Pivot should never be rotated more than 90˚ in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction.
CAUTION: Be sure not to apply pressure to the tweeter dome, as permanent damage will probably occur.

Midrange Tweeter Module
• If the speakers are being used as main front channels, the Uni-Pivot 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.
• If is mounted verticaly, the Uni-Pivot can be rotated to stand in an upright position. (See Diagram 5)
SPEAKER INSTALLATION

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