Using the AV 5140 and AV 5120 loudspeakers

The AV 5140 Front Loudspeaker is the ideal choice for the main left and right loudspeakers in an AV system, or for the rear surround speakers. The AV 5120 Compact Loudspeaker is particularly suitable for use as the centre speaker, but is also an excellent choice for the main left and right or rear loudspeakers. The AV 5140 and AV 5120 are tonally matched, so the balance of sound will be perfect whatever combination you decide on.

Using the AV 5140s as front loudspeakers

A recommended configuration is to use two AV 5140 loudspeakers as the front loudspeakers, in conjunction with an AV 5120 placed either above or below the television. The midrange units of the AV 5140s are at the ideal height for providing natural reproduction of a film soundtrack when positioned either side of a television screen.

A pair of AV 5110 Local Loudspeakers are recommended as the rear surround speakers due to their compact size and versatility, and an AV 5150 Active Isobarik Bass Loudspeaker is an excellent addition to the system for dramatic cinema effects.

Using a pair of AV 5120 loudspeakers as main loudspeakers

The compact design of the AV 5120 loudspeaker makes it ideal for use as the main loudspeakers in an AV system where you do not have room for conventional floor-standing loudspeakers. They can be positioned on a bookcase or shelf, or fixed directly to the wall using a Linn adjustable

BRAKIT.
