Loudspeaker Positioning (cont.)

In home theater setups it is best to try and keep all the speakers at an equal distance from the listening position. If this is not possible, use the level and delay controls on the electronics you are using to level match and time align the signal from each speaker location. You may use the “Large” speaker setting on all HT805 series models.

Ribbon Rotation

Whatever vertical orientation the speaker ends up in make sure the ribbons rectangular opening is always long ways up. This provides the best horizontal coverage for the listening area. If the ribbon needs to be rotated, remove the four screws and gently lift the unit out. Rotate it 90 degrees, place it back in the cabinet and replace the four screws.

Audio Connection

The HT805 Series (except subwoofer) come standard with dual binding posts that are bi-wire capable. In a normal setup, attach the positive and negative speaker wire ends to either set of binding posts (red is normally positive, black negative). The gold plated links that are already attached to the binding posts will route the signal to both the woofers and the ribbon. If bi-wiring is preferred, remove the links and run 2 pairs of separate cables between the speaker and amplifier. The ribbon is the top set of binding posts, the woofer(s) the bottom set. Depending on the cable used, this can sometimes improve resolution of low-level detail. No additional equipment is needed to bi-wire as removing the links does not bypass the internal crossover network.
