SYSTEM PLACEMENT

The Polk AB Series Loudspeaker Systems are designed to provide supe-
rior sonic performance without intruding on the design of your living
space. The design goals were to create open, three-dimensional sound
and smooth, accurate frequency response in an easy-to-install chassis.

Placement of the system in a room bears careful consideration, as the
installation is permanent. The AB510 and AB710 loudspeakers can be
mounted on almost any wall or ceiling. Keep in mind that placing the
loudspeakers at least 6-8 feet apart and away from room edges or cor-
ners will result in better stereo imaging.

As ceiling mounted speakers point downward and are closer to the lis-
tener than most wall-mount positions, it is sometimes advisable to use
more than one pair to get even distribution of sound. Intended uses,
ceiling height, room size, and listening position all play a part in
determining how many pairs should be used. In an average size room
with 8' ceilings we recommend using 2 pairs of ceiling-mounted
loudspeakers. Your Polk Audio dealer can help you make the right
choice for your room.

If your speakers are used in an outdoor installation, the best location is
one that provides shelter from rain and other outdoor elements. The
most common and ideal location is under an eave of your house facing
downward. If you position the AB loudspeakers where water will directly
contact them, it is advisable to use a sealant or caulk between the
frame of the loudspeaker and the wall surface. This seal should prevent
water from getting behind the loudspeaker and wall surface. Do not
position the loudspeakers where water can pool on the surface of the
woofer cone or tweeter dome. This will greatly decrease your speaker’s
useful life.
