Polk Audio Monitor XT60 Tower Speaker
Adding Adhesive-Backed Rubber Feet
To keep your Polk speakers firmly in place and prevent damage to floors or furniture, it’s a smart idea to attach the included adhesive-backed rubber feet to the bottom of your speaker.
How to Connect Your System
To get the best sound quality, it’s important to wire your speakers correctly. How to Use Binding Post Connectors: Loosen the hex nut and insert bare speaker wire through the hole. Tighten the hex nut down to make the connection.
Note: Do not insert the insulated section of wire into the hole (you will not get a connection).
Basic Speaker Hookup
-Make sure that the red (+) and black (-) connectors on your amplifier or receiver connect to the red (+) and black (-) connectors on your speakers. If your speakers sound “thin,” with little bass and little or no center image, odds are that one of the speaker wires is connected backwards. Double-check all connections.
Speaker Positioning
To maximize the sound quality of your speaker system— whether you’ve purchased XT15 bookshelf speakers, an XT30 center channel speaker, or XT70 tower speakers—correct placement is everything. Take a look at the following examples and give them a try based on the Polk Monitor XT Series speakers you’ve purchased.
Note: Your Polk Monitor XT Series speakers are compatible with 2.0, 2.1, 3.1, 5.1, 7.1 and 9.1 setups (optional subwoofer shown in graphics).
Listening in 5.1 Surround
You can use the Polk Monitor XT Series speakers as rear surround speakers in a Polk Audio home theater system. Ideal rear channel surround speaker placement is on a side wall, slightly behind and above the listening position.
Listening in 3.1 System
Get the most realistic stereo image by placing speakers as far apart as the listeners are sitting from them. If room conditions require that you place the speakers farther apart, you may choose to angle the speakers toward the middle to support a more solid center image.
Listening in 5.1 Surround—alternate option
Alternate rear channel surround speaker placement for Polk Monitor XT Series speakers. If you cannot place rear surrounds on the side walls, position them on the rear wall above the listening position.
Listening in 7.1 Surround
Enjoy added depth to your surround sound experience with four rear surround speakers instead of two.
