Congratulations on choosing the Acoustic Energy AELITE Centre, a powerful three-way centre channel dialogue loudspeaker which features metal diaphragm technology and is capable of outstanding performance.

Please take a few moments to read this manual. The advice it contains will enable you to get the very best performance out of your Acoustic Energy loudspeaker.

The AELITE Centre utilises metal cone mid and bass drive unit technology, proven in the AE Reference series. The rigid anodised alloy cone ensures pure piston action and also acts as a heat sink for the bonded voice coil. These features provide exceptional clarity, transparency, dynamics and power handling. The units are housed within vented die-cast chassis reducing stray magnetic flux to a minimum and increasing power handling.

The tweeter - or treble driver - is a high-quality neodymium unit with a silk fabric dome integrating smoothly with the rest of the system.

All drive units are fully magnetically shielded so that the speaker can be used in close proximity to a TV screen or monitor for AV applications.

The Acoustic Energy AELITE Centre loudspeaker uses quality OFC internal wiring, which enhances detail and transparency.

Position the AELITE Centre either immediately above or below your screen, whichever places the speaker nearest ear level when listening. Line the front of the AELITE Centre approximately in line with the front left + right speakers.

When fine-tuning, adjust the levels of the left, centre and right speakers to give a balanced sound as images pan across the screen.
