All Sonance Symphony TR- and TSQ-series speaker models have very smooth and
predictable off-axis response, so they provide excellent coverage in distributed
audio systems from a wide variety of installation locations. The chart in Figure 1
shows how far apart the speakers can be placed at different ceiling heights while
still providing good coverage (as shown in Figure 2). The distances are based on

SONANCE SYMPHONY TR & TSQ
• If you’re using the speakers in stereo or as the front left/center/right speakers
in a home theater, pivot the woofer and/or tweeter directly towards the listen-
ing area. This will help the sound from the speakers blend into a solid sound-
stage even if the speakers are widely separated.

Tweeter Level Control
S622TR
The S625TR, S624TR, S623TR and
S623TSQ have a tweeter level control
switch (see Figure 9) that lets you
boost or cut the tweeter’s level by
3dB. This allows you to adjust the
speaker’s brightness to better match
your listening room or personal taste.

Level Control
Once you have installed the speakers,
listen to a variety of music that you
are familiar with. If the music all
tends to sound too bright or dull, use
the Tweeter Level Control to compen-
sate. If some recordings sound dull and some sound bright the speaker is accu-
rately reproducing differences in the recordings, and you should leave the control
in the middle (0dB) position.
