HT805 Series Owner’s Manual Page 4 General Use and Operation Loudspeaker Positioning The HT805 Series (except the subwoofer) has a very defined vertical dispersion, which helps prevent interaction with the floor and ceiling and extends the nearfield listening area. It is important to set the speakers so the ribbon is approximately at the ear level of the listener(s). The speaker may also be tilted for proper aiming relative to the height that the speaker is placed.
HT805 Series Owner’s Manual Page 5 Loudspeaker Positioning (cont.) For the best stereo imaging setups, position the speakers and the listening area at approximately the corners of an equilateral triangle. The larger the triangle, the bigger the soundstage but a less clearly defined center image. The room will also play an increasing role in the sound. The smaller the triangle, the more immediate the presentation but with a smaller soundstage. We encourage you to experiment within the following guidelines.
HT805 Series Owner’s Manual Page 6 Loudspeaker Positioning (cont.) In home theater setups it is best to try and keep all the speakers at an equal distance from the listening position. If this is not possible, use the level and delay controls on the electronics you are using to level match and time align the signal from each speaker location. You may use the “Large” speaker setting on all HT805 series models.
HT805 Series Owner’s Manual Page 7 Audio Connection (cont.) The HT805W subwoofer will accept both line level signals via RCA jacks or speaker level signals from an amplifier via the binding posts. Do not use a mixture of line level and speaker level connections. Whenever possible, use the line level connections. Use of the Full Range setting uses your receiver - processor to control the crossover point between the subwoofer and satellites.
