STS 150 Speaker System

Your Optimus STS 150 Speaker Sys- tem has a 2-way acoustic suspension design that utilizes an 8-inch specially treated cone surrounded by rubber to yield excellent low-end response and tight, clean bass. A 1-inch mylar tweeter diaphragm provides clear and natural high-frequency sound repro- duction.

The speaker cabinet is solid in con- struction and is finished in woodgrain vinyl. The decorative grille is acousti- cally transparent.

Note: You need speaker wire (not supplied) to connect your speaker.

SPEAKER PLACEMENT

Cautions:

Where and how you position each STS-150 speaker has a great effect on the overall performance of your sound system.

For the best sound and stereo effect, place the speakers so the distance between them is about the same as the distance between the listening area and a point halfway between the speakers.

•To prevent the cabinet from warp- ing or discoloring, do not place the speaker where it is exposed to direct sunlight or excessive humidity.

•Do not place the speaker where it might be knocked over or hit by falling objects.

If you place the speakers too far apart, a sound “hole” could occur and you might not get the proper stereo image in the listening area. Compensate for this by angling the speakers slightly in toward the listening area.

If you place the speakers too close to- gether, you could cancel out the ste- reo image and the sound might seem to be monaural. Compensate for this by angling the speakers slightly away from the listening area.
