PRIME PINNACLE SPEAKER SETTING UP YOUR PRIME SPEAKERS Foot Options The Prime Pinnacle speakers come packaged with two sets of foot support options that allow optimal placement on a variety of floor surfaces. The Elastomer Isolation feet that come pre-installed on the Prime Pinnacle speakers can be removed (unscrew to remove) and replaced with the included Threaded Metal Spike Kit. Both sets of feet are threaded to allow easy leveling of the Prime Pinnacles if they should stand on an uneven surface.
PRIME PINNACLE SPEAKER SETTING UP YOUR PRIME SPEAKERS Acoustics & Room Placement: Proper placement of the front left/right speakers is essential to achieve the smoothest frequency response, optimal stereo imaging and the most spacious, three-dimensional soundstage. Stereo imaging and soundstage are affected by loudspeaker location and the listening position, relative to each other and room boundaries.
PRIME PINNACLE SPEAKER SETTING UP YOUR PRIME SPEAKERS Room Placement: Toeing-in the loudspeakers 5-10 degrees can often improve imaging, however this is also a function of the distance from nearby boundaries and the ratio of direct-to-reflected sound, so experimentation with toe-in is recommended to obtain optimal results.
PRIME PINNACLE SPEAKER SETTING UP YOUR PRIME SPEAKERS Connecting Your Speakers: Prime Pinnacle speakers include terminals with convenient gold-plated 5-way binding posts that accept wires and cables terminated with banana plugs, speaker pins, spade connectors and bare wire. Simply connect each loudspeaker to the appropriate amplifier channel of your receiver or power amplifier.
