Positioning 5 Channels >0.5m 7 Channels >0.5m 1.5m - 3m >0.5m 110° - 130° ~40° Speaker Positioning Adjustment of speaker position following initial installation will probably further improve the sound quality and is usually worthwhile. In either stereo or home theatre installations, try to ensure that the immediate surroundings of each speaker are similar in acoustic character.
All connections should be made with the audio equipment switched off. There are 2 linked pairs of terminals on the back of the speaker. For conventional connection (above left), the terminal links should remain in place (as delivered) and just one pair of terminals connected to the amplifier. For bi-wire connections or bi-amplification (above right), the terminal links should be removed and each pair of terminals connected to the amplifier or amplifiers independently.
ENGLISH 4. Fine Tuning Before fine tuning, make sure that all the connections in the installation are correct and secure. Moving the speakers further from the walls will generally reduce the volume of bass. Space behind the speakers will also help to create an aural impression of depth. Conversely, moving the speakers closer to the walls will increase the volume of bass.
6. Aftercare The performance of the speaker will change subtly during the initial listening period. If the speaker has been stored in a cold environment, the damping compounds and suspension materials of the drive units will take some time to recover their correct mechanical properties. The drive unit suspensions will also loosen up during the first hours of use. The time taken for the speaker to achieve its intended performance will vary depending on previous storage conditions and how it is used.
