Congratulations on choosing the Acoustic Energy AELITE Three, a powerful floor standing, three-way 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 loudspeakers.

The AELITE Three utilises metal cone mid-bass drive unit technology, proven in the AE Reference Series. The rigid anodised alloy cones ensure 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 aluminium 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 speakers can be used in close proximity to a TV screen or monitor for AV applications.

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

The AELITE Threes are best heard with the tweeters at, or just below, ear height when the listener is seated. For serious listening the grilles are best removed.

Rigid support is essential for the speaker to develop its full detail and dynamic performance. It is essential that the plinth supplied is fitted using the four screws provided. This is best acheived by standing the speaker on its top giving good access to the pre- drilled pilot holes. Once the plinth is attached then the supplied spikes (with lock nut on) should be threaded in to each corner. Carefully turn the speaker over so it is in its correct orientation and place in the desired position.

Closeness to room boundaries has a major impact on the low frequency performance. The speakers should be kept away from corners (which will produce booming). The speakers can be positioned fairly close to a back or side wall but should not be the same distance off the ground as they are from the rear or side wall. For best stereo imaging the speakers should be as far apart as they are from the listening position.

When the best position has been established then use the adjustable spikes to make sure the speaker is as stable as possible. Once achieved

fix spikes in place using the locknuts

Trust your own ears for the best listening position.
