PLACING "TEMPEST" FOR

THE BEST SOUND QUALITY

The broad "Tempest" dispersion pattern delivers high quality sound over a large listening area. However, if a single pair is used to provide coverage of a very large room or patio, you may have small areas of louder sound near the speakers.The best way to avoid this in a large space is to use additional pairs of "Tempest" speakers. In this case, we suggest alternating a left channel and a right channel of a stereo pair, so that you don't position a "left next to a left".

The interaction of speakers and their surroundings plays an important role in creating a proper stereo image. Experiment to find the very best position for your speakers. Here are some guidelines to make the process quick and easy:

(1)Try to ensure you are not blocking or reflecting the sound off furniture or other objects. A direct line of sight with the front of the speaker is best.

(2)Determine the listening distance; that is the distance between the most-often used listening position and the wall on which you plan to mount the speakers.

(3)For best results, mount the speakers so that they are at 1/2 to 2/3 of the listening distance apart.This will help to establish the stereo image for which Energy speakers are renowned.The total separation of your "Tempest" speakers should be less than the entire listening distance to avoid the effect of a hole-in-the-sound field. For example; if your listening position is twelve feet (3.7m) back from the wall, the speakers should be between six and nine feet (1.8- 2.7m) apart.

Good Placement Can Mean Better Bass

Placement can partially control bass output. If you mount the "Tempest" directly to a wall or other flat surface, the surface close to the speaker will reinforce the bass frequencies. Mounting the "Tempest" in a corner or under an eave can increase the bass output because the sound reflects off two "boundaries".

MOUNTING VARIATIONS

"Tempest" can be mounted either horizontally or vertically.The supplied bracket and knobs will keep the speaker in any position when properly installed and tightened. Choose from these methods to attach the "Tempest" to a wall, ceiling, or other mounting surface:

(1)If the speaker is never going to be exposed to sudden accidental impacts, wind, waves or earthquakes, hang it on a nail using the nail hole(s) of the bracket. We recommend, however,

(2)The safest and most secure way to mount "Tempest" is by screwing the bracket supplied with the speaker to the selected mounting surface using hardware specifically suitable for the surface you are mounting to (not supplied).

(3)To position the speaker at unusual angles or distances from the mounting surface, there are also threaded brass inserts on the back of the "Tempest". Use them to
