Pointing Speakers

TheaterPoint speakers are specifically designed to produce outstand- ing audio quality when properly placed in relationship to the listening area. Human hearing relies on mid-range and high frequencies to determine spatial direction (where a sound is coming from). Mid- range and high frequency drivers (tweeters) tend to produce narrow soundfields that sound much better when pointing directly at the listener whereas low frequency drivers (woofers) envelop much larger areas and tend to be more omnidirectional. The tweeter can be fine- tuned using ELAN’s exclusive TheaterPointer Laser Pointing Device for pinpoint sonic accuracy in Home Theaters and critical listening applications.

Pointing the Tweeter

All TheaterPoint speakers include ELAN’s exclusive TheaterPointer Laser Pointing Device for precise tweeter adjustment. Because the human ear relies heavily on high frequencies to locate sound, and be- cause high frequency drivers create a narrow soundfield, it is impor- tant to align tweeters precisely. Stereo imaging and surround sound effects and dialogue are greatly improved by pointing the tweeter correctly.

To Correctly Point the Tweeter:

1.Move the tweeter so that it points toward the desired listening position.

2.Turn TheaterPointer on by pressing the power button.

3.Place the TheaterPointer into the triangular hole located on the tweeter’s protective cover. Notice the red beam of light emanating from the TheaterPointer.
