STS 200 Speaker System

Your Optimus STS 200 Speaker Sys- tem has a 3-way acoustic suspension design that utilizes a high compliant 10-inch woofer for excellent low-end response characterized by tight, clean bass. The specially treated 5-inch midrange and 3/4-inch wide angle dis- persion dome tweeter mesh seam- lessly to provide extremely clean vocal and high frequency production.

The speaker cabinet is solid in construction and is finished in woodgrain vinyl. The decorative grille is acoustically transparent.

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

SPEAKER PLACEMENT

Cautions:

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

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

Where and how you position each STS-200 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.

a = b

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.
