Invisa HTR 7000-8000 Speakers as Surrounds/Rears (Figures B&C)
The Invisa HTR 7000/8000 speakers are also ideal for use as surrounds/rears. In this configuration, all channels are
positioned with the driver array aimed toward the listening area. When used as surround speakers in a 5.1-channel
system, Invisa HTR 7000/8000 speakers may be located to the side or behind the listeners. When used on the sides,
take care never to locate the speakers forward of the listeners. If the speakers are installed behind as surrounds, it is
suggested that they be positioned fairly wide apart if possible. Installation in the rear corners is also a good surround
speakers location. Rear speakers in a 7.1-channel system should be placed fairly close together (4-6 feet) as shown.
Use Fig. B as a guide to positioning as you experiment to achieve optimal surround sound in your room.
5.1-Channel Surround Placement (Figure B)
Position one speaker on either side of the listening area with the driver array aimed toward the center of the
listening area as shown. Alternatively, position each speaker behind the listener and as far apart as possible.
7.1-Channel Surround/Rear Placement (Figure C)
Begin with the 5.1-channel Surround Placement (as above), then position another pair of speakers behind the
listening area, one slightly right, the other slightly left of the center listening position, with the driver array aimed
toward the center of the listening area as shown.

Invisa HTR 7000 and 8000 Speakers as HEIGHT Channels (Figure D)
The Invisa HTRs also make perfect Height Channel speakers for object-oriented surround formats such as Dolby
Atmos and DTS:X. See figure D above for placement options. In this configuration, the speakers are to be located
less than the minimum 8' from the listening area to preserve the "from above" location cues while eliminating
"hot spots" caused by direct radiating models in rooms with low ceilings.
Fine Tuning the Invisa HTR 7000 and 8000 Speakers
Once you have decided on placement, install and connect the speaker following directions that follow. Before
final tightening of the lock arms, rotate speaker until the driver array points in the desired direction. To readjust
direction of sound, loosen lock arm screws (see installation instructions section below), rotate drive assembly until
it points in the desired direction, then re-tighten lock arms.
