VERITAS™

Break in Procedures

It is VITAL that your new Veritas™ speakers be allowed to break In properly before you perform any precise set up procedures, system adjustments, and before you play them at higher volume levels.

The best method of performing the break in is to play a full range musical passage at a moderate level as long as possible. Utilizing the repeat function on your CD or DVD player can assist greatly.

Optimum sound will not be achieved until approximately 100 hours of playing time. After break-in, the volume level can be increased. Do not play the speakers at higher levels until the break in process has been completed. The transducers need to “loosen up”, and until this occurs, damage can result to the transducers.

Set-Up Basics

There are three basic steps in the successful installation of the system.

1)Decide where you wish to place the speakers

2)Connect the speakers

3)Adjust the controls where necessary

The most vital part of the set up procedure to realize the goal of getting the best sound your room, and equipment has to offer, is proper placement of the speakers. Please wait until the speakers are fully broken in before experimenting with precise speaker placement. There are a few do's and don't's with regards to speaker placement.

1)With regards to the front speakers, try not to place them too close or too far apart. The “1.5 times the width” rule applies, and is required for good stereo imaging from the front speakers. See the Advanced Set Up section for details.

2)The center channel speaker needs to be centrally located so that the dialog appears to be coming from the center of the TV or Screen. See the Advanced Set Up section for details.

3)The rear channel Veritas™ 2.0R are quite flexible with regards to placement, but still require care when choosing the placement. Study your room carefully and decide whether the side walls are best, or the rear walls. The goal is to try to position the speaker system around you, so that you are “surrounded” by the information from the different channels. The choice of rear speaker placement depends greatly on

the position of the listeners. The ultimate goal, is to have the rear speakers approximately the same distance from the listeners as the front speakers. If the room's layout does not allow for this, then the basic rule is to place the front and rear speakers in the room so that they form a square or rectangle around the listeners. More details are found ahead.

Advanced Set Up

POSITIONING THE FRONT SPEAKERS

The placement of the front speakers in relation to the listener is absolutely critical. The perfect set up would place the listener at the end of a triangle, with the distance from speaker to listener being 1.5 times the width between the two speakers. The minimum distance between the speakers is 6-8 feet, any less and the stereo imaging will be quite poor.

The optimum room shape would be a rectangular room, with the speakers along the short wall, facing towards the other short wall. Placement in corners, and against a wall is not recommended. Try to keep the speakers, especially rear vented models a minimum of 2 feet from the back wall, and corner placement is usually the worst of all possible places to put a speaker.

The ENERGY® design philosophy of Wide and Constant Dispersion provides a wide image, and clarity off axis from the speaker. For best results, utilize the side walls of the room to enhance the size and depth of the image.
