Connections
There are all sorts of different stereo systems, and a variety of ways you can connect the Micro SE
or A’Diva SE speakers. We’ll cover the most common ones here.
We know some people use surround-sound receivers in “2.1” mode, with stereo speakers and a
subwoofer. If this is your setup, follow the directions under Home Theater Systems below, and just
omit the center and surround speaker.
NOTE: Be sure to turn your amplifier or receiver off before you connect the speakers.

How to connect a stereo amplifier or receiver to a pair of A’Diva SEs
To create a compact system—say, for desktop or bedroom use—you can simply connect a pair of
Micro SEs or A’Diva SEs directly to an amplifier or receiver. Note that the rated power handling of
the speakers in this setup is slightly less than half the rated power handling you get by adding a
subwoofer and a high-pass filter.
With this setup, you’ll benefit greatly from positioning the speakers near a wall or other reflecting
surface. This will increase the bass performance significantly.
