Outrigger
Feet
& Spike Installation
Using the included outrigger feet provide a
wider
support base for
the
speaker cabinet. The included spikes improve stability
on uneven surfaces and thickly carpeted floors. Please use caution when dealing with the spikes
as
they are sharp.
IMPORTANT: When
using
these
spikes
on
hard
surfaces such as
wood
or
tile
floors
be
sure
to
use
the
provided
floor
discs
to
protect your floor from damage.

order
to
prevent
scratching

while
you attach the outrigger feet and spikes. We highly
recommend a second person help with this process.

or tile floors please use
the provided floor discs.
Using the supplied alien wrench ad-
just the height

Speaker
Placement
Whether you use the ELAC bookshelf or the ELAC floorstanding speakers for a 5.1-channel surround set-up,
avoid placing the surround speakers forward of your listening position. The surround speakers should
be
spread apart Wider than the front speakers.
In
addition, elevate the speakers
to
the same height or slightly
higher as the front speakers for the most enveloping sound field. Like the front speakers, you may need to
experiment with the positioning by pointing the rear surround speakers towards the listening area.

FIG.1
Place the speakers approximately one
to
two
feet away (fig.
1)
from boundaries such
as
wall(s) and especially
corners. Close proximity
to
a side
or
rear wall will enhance bass performance (output), but being
too
close
(particularly
to
a corner) may result in bass that
is
unnatural. If a corner location
is
unavoidable, try
to
position
the
loudspeaker so that
the
distance
to
the
rear wall
is
not
equal
to
the distance
to
the
side wall.
