7. NEO CENTRE POSITIONING

The position of the speakers in a home theatre installation will have great influence over its performance. It is worth spending some time experimenting both with the finer points of speaker positioning, as well as the larger scale issues of room layout. Diagram Two illustrates an idealised general home theatre speaker layout.

If you are already familiar with the characteristics of your home theatre room, and the way speakers perform in it, you may already have a good feel for where to position your Aegis Neo Centre. However, installing any new speaker component provides a good opportunity to review an existing set-up and perhaps make improvements.

8. CONNECTING

Each Aegis Neo is fitted with a pair of binding-post terminals. The terminals can accept either stripped wires, spade connectors, or 4mm plugs. Each of these termination methods is potentially equally effective and the choice is likely to be influenced by the type of speaker cable used. Your dealer, distributor or cable manufacturer will be able to offer advice.

To connect the speakers, simply connect the speaker cable to the terminals ensuring correct connection polarity as described below. Take care when connecting cables not to touch the negative and positive terminals together and “short-circuit” the amplifier. Make connections with the amplifier off.

Connection Polarity.

It is important when connecting speakers to ensure that each terminal is connected with the correct polarity. Positive speaker terminals should always be connected back to amplifier positive terminals, and negative speaker terminals connected back to amplifier negative terminals. Performance will be degraded if connections are made with incorrect polarity.

Cable Choice.

Choice of cable type will be influenced by the characteristics of other components in your hi-fi system and your dealer or distributor will be able to advise.

The position requirements for an Aegis Neo Centre are as follows:

•Between 0.05 and 1.0 metres from the rear wall.

•Generally in-line with the display screen.

•Directly above or below the display screen.

Don’t worry if, thanks to the architecture or layout of your room, it is not practical to follow each requirement or the layout diagram exactly. The most important thing is to experiment with the different options that are practical and find the one that works best. Aegis Neos are magnetically shielded and can be used in close proximity to CRT screens.

Once your Aegis Neo Centre is connected (see Section 8) and working, and you begin to become familiar with its performance, it is likely to be worthwhile experimenting a little more with its positioning. For example, reducing the distance between the speaker and the rear wall will increase the level of bass and low midrange making the speaker sound warmer. The warmth however is likely to be gained at the expense of some mid-range clarity.

There are however some simple guidelines to consider:

•Cable runs to each speaker should be kept as short as possible consistent with each being of equal length.

•Short cable runs are especially important if the cable is of relatively small cross-sectional area.

•If the cable is advertised as “directional” care should be taken to ensure that its orientation is as recommended.
