Setup Suggestions (continued)

Rear Surround Speakers

The Surround Speakers may be placed either above, behind or to the sides of the listening position. The listening position should be centered between the surround speakers. For best performance, you may want to experiment with angling the sur- round speakers either towards or away from the listening position.

Subwoofer

Placement of the subwoofer will largely determine quality, quantity, and extension of the bass frequencies within your

listening room. Bass frequen- cies are reinforced by close room boundaries. Placing the subwoofer in a corner will make the subwoofer sound louder and boost the very lowest frequen- cies. Placing the subwoofer away from walls will provide the least reinforcement, making the bass sound subjectively thinner than if the woofer were close to a wall. Good results can usually be obtained by placing a subwoofer along a wall 1-3 feet from a corner. Experiment with subwoofer placement and the amplifier controls to achieve the proper bass balance.

Break-in Period

Speakers are mechanical as

well as electrical devices. Much in the same way automobile engines need break-in mile- age before performing their best, audio speakers need to be broken in before their true sonic qualities become appar- ent. This is especially true of higher quality speakers, such as those you have purchased.

Plan on giving your speak- ers several hours of playing time to adequately break-in. As the speaker breaks in, the driver suspension will loosen up resulting in an increase in low frequency response, improved definition, clarity and detail.
