I Using
ProMonitors
with
a ProSub
for
Rear
Channel Surround Use
I
Since Dolby Digital is capable
of
delivering a full-range bass signal to the
rear channels, some more elaborate systems will include an additional ProSub
for the rear channels. In this case, simply wire the ProMonitors to the ProSub as
described in I thru 8 earlier, except wire to the rear surround outputs. Set the bass
management system for "Large" Rear Speakers.
Using
ProMonitors
with
Separate
Left
and
Right
Channel ProSubs
You may also use a separate ProSub for the Front Left and Front Right channels.
Simply follow all previous instructions except use only the left channel inputs and
outputs on the left ProSub and the right channel inputs and outputs on the right
ProSub.
Speaker Break-In
Your ProMonitors should sound good right out ofthe box; however, an
extended break-in period
of
20-40 hours or more
of
playing is required to reach
full performance capability. Break-in allows the suspensions
to
work in and results
in fuller bass, a more open "blossoming" midrange and smoother high frequency
reproduction.
Positioning
the
ProMonitor
in Your Room
It is important that some simple set-up recommendations be followed in order
to assure optimum performance in your room. Please remember that although these
recommendations are usually valid, all rooms and listening set-ups are somewhat
unique, so do not be afraid to experiment with the speakers. Remember, whatever
sounds best to you
is
correct.
The ProMonitor Loudspeakers may be placed on a stand or shelf or mounted on
the wall or ceiling. Placement close to the wall will increase the bass output while
placement further from the rear wall will decrease.the bass output.
When used as fronts, the speakers should usually be placed 6 to 8 feet apart
and kept away from the side walls and comers. A good rule
of
thumb
is
to place
the speakers separated by one half the length
of
the wall they are positioned along,
and each speaker one quarter the length
of
the wall behind them away from the side
wall. When used
as
rear speakers, take care never to locate the spe(lkers forward
of
the listeners.
Speakers may be angled in towards the listening position or left parallel with
the rear wall according to your personal listening taste. Normally, angling the
speakers in so that they point directly at the listeners will result
in
more detail
and greater clarity.
