SPEAKER PLACEMENT

The LS 130C Center Channel speaker should be placed as close as possible to the center of the television or display device, either above or just below the picture area. This locks the sound and dialog to the picture. Place the left and right front speakers away from the picture toward the corners of the room. They can be placed on bookshelves or wall mounted using the speaker hangers supplied in the System 230 package. Place the rear or surround speakers on the side walls, directly across or just 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 System 230 package includes four wall hangers for mounting any or all of the LS 130 speakers to the wall. For safety, always mount these speakers on a wall that is reinforced from behind by a wall stud or other rigid material. Never mount a speaker on a wall that is not reinforced or just drywall or plaster. If you are unsure about where and how to mount the speakers and conceal the wire, consult a professional installer or contractor. These speakers can also be placed on bookshelves and most speaker stands.

LS130C, LS130 specifications

The AudioSource LS130 and LS130C speakers are engineered to deliver exceptional sound quality and versatility, making them a popular choice for home audio setups. These speakers offer a seamless blend of performance, design, and affordability, allowing audiophiles and casual listeners alike to enjoy optimal audio playback.

One of the standout features of the LS130 is its high-efficiency design, which enables it to produce powerful sound output while minimizing distortion. The speaker utilizes a robust 6.5-inch woofer and a 1-inch silk dome tweeter, providing a rich, full-range sound that is capable of handling a diverse range of musical genres. The LS130C, designed specifically for center channel use, shares similar components and technology, ensuring that dialogue in movies and television is crystal clear and well-defined.

Both models utilize advanced crossover technology, which effectively divides the audio signal between the woofer and tweeter to ensure an even sound distribution across all frequencies. This results in a balanced audio performance, allowing the listener to experience the full spectrum of sound with clarity and precision.

The build quality of the LS130 and LS130C is noteworthy. They feature sturdy MDF cabinets that reduce unwanted vibrations, ensuring that sound reproduction remains accurate. The sleek design makes these speakers an attractive addition to any home theater or audio setup, blending seamlessly with contemporary decor.

Connectivity options are plentiful, with the LS130 designed to work well with both home theater systems and stereo setups. The speakers have a nominal impedance of 8 ohms and an efficient power handling capability, making them compatible with a wide range of amplifiers and receivers.

Another significant characteristic of these speakers is their versatility. The LS130 can be used as part of a larger audio system, while the LS130C is perfect for enhancing a surround sound experience. Together, they deliver an enveloping soundstage, enhancing the overall listening experience, be it for music or cinematic use.

In summary, the AudioSource LS130 and LS130C speakers combine innovative technology, quality materials, and thoughtful design, making them an excellent choice for anyone seeking to enhance their audio experience. Whether used in a dedicated home theater or a casual listening space, these speakers are capable of delivering stunning performance that doesn't compromise on quality.
