System 2.5

Home Theater Speaker Set

Congratulations on your purchase and welcome to the AudioSource family of satisfied customers. Please take a few moments to read this manual before you get started. Also, be sure to retain this document should you need to refer to it in the future.

The AudioSource System 2.5 Home Theater Speaker System contains four LS2 Compact Speakers (left front, right front, left surround & right surround); one LS2C Center Speaker; and one SW 80 Powered Subwoofer. This system is designed to reproduce high fidelity music, including digital signals. Movies and stereo TV broadcasts will sound more realistic, putting you in the center of the action. The LS2C center channel speaker is video-shielded, allowing placement on top of your television. LS2 speakers are provided for both the front and surround channels, to provide a theater-like experience.

This manual is divided into two sections. The first provides information about the LS2 and LS2C speakers. The next section concerns the SW 80 Powered Subwoofer.

Speaker Placement

The center channel speaker should be placed as close as possible to the TV, preferably either directly on top of or below it. This locks the sound to the picture. Place the front speakers near the front corners of the room, either on a bookshelf or wall-mounted. Positioning near a corner enhances bass performance. Place the surround speakers either to the side of, or behind, your listening position. Typical placement is on the side walls, slightly above ear level, about two-thirds of the way back from the front of the room. This allows the surround speakers to aim directly at the listener, placing you in the middle of a five-speaker sound field.

Speaker Mounting

The LS2 speakers include U-shapedbrackets to mount the speakers to the wall. For safety, always mount these speakers on a wall that is reinforced from behind. Never mount a speaker on a wall made of unreinforced drywall or plasterboard. If you are unsure, consult a professional contractor. These speakers can also be placed on bookshelves and most types of speaker stands.
