Introduction
Speaker Placement
Congratulations on your purchase of a RBH Sound LCR In-wall speaker! Your speaker is the 
result of many years of research and development dedicated to producing high quality 
products for home audio and audio/video systems.
This manual contains features, setup recommendations and specifications for RBH Sound 
LCR in-wall speakers. It is recommended you thoroughly read through the material 
contained in this manual before connecting your speaker. This will ensure you have a good 
understanding of how to setup your speaker for optimum performance and allow for years 
of listening enjoyment.
In order to obtain the best possible sound from your speaker system, it is important to 
determine where the speakers will sound best in your listening room. Room reflections 
from the floor, ceiling and side walls influence the balance, imaging and overall sonic 
quality at the listening position. Experiment with speaker placement to determine which 
location offers the best overall sound. 
Front Main Speakers 
As a starting point, place your left and right speakers at least 7-feet apart from each 
other. The distance from the listening position to each speaker should be close to the 
distance that separates the two main speakers. The MC-553 has the unique ability to 
perform double-duty as both a center-channel speaker and as a main front left or right 
speaker for a surround sound system.
Center Channel Speaker
If two MC-553s are in dual-channel mode, the lower tweeter and woofer on each side can 
function as the center channel, this allows the top two woofers and tweeter on each 
speaker to be the front left or right channel. For situations where a dedicated center 
channel can be installed, three MC-553s can be used for the front left, center and right 
channels for an outstanding in-wall home theater system. See the wiring diagrams if you 
have questions.
Surround Speakers
The surrounds may be placed either above, behind or to the sides of the listening 
position. The listening position should be centered between the surround speakers. For 
best performance you may want to experiment with angling the surround speakers either 
towards or away from the listening position.
Subwoofer
Placement of the subwoofer will largely determine quality, quantity, and extension of the 
bass frequencies within your listening room. Bass frequencies are reinforced by close room 
boundaries. Placing the subwoofer in a corner will make the subwoofer sound louder and 
boost the very lowest frequencies. Placing the subwoofer away from walls will provide 
the least reinforcement, making the bass sound subjectively thinner than if the woofer 
were close to a wall. Good results can usually be obtained by placing a subwoofer along a 
wall 1-3 feet from a corner. Experiment with subwoofer placement and the sub-amplifier 
controls to achieve the proper bass balance.
