Pointing Speakers
TheaterPoint speakers are specifi cally designed to produce outstand-
ing audio quality when properly placed in relationship to the listening
area. Human hearing relies on mid-range and high frequencies to
determine spatial direction (where a sound is coming from). Mid-
range and high frequency drivers (tweeters) tend to produce narrow
soundfi elds that sound much better when pointing directly at the
listener whereas low frequency drivers (woofers) envelop much larger
areas and tend to be more omnidirectional. The tweeter can be fi ne-
tuned using ELAN’s exclusive TheaterPointer Laser Pointing Device
for pinpoint sonic accuracy in Home Theaters and critical listening
applications.
Pointing the Tweeter
All TheaterPoint speakers include ELAN’s exclusive TheaterPointer
Laser Pointing Device for precise tweeter adjustment. Because the
human ear relies heavily on high frequencies to locate sound, and be-
cause high frequency drivers create a narrow soundfi eld, it is impor-
tant to align tweeters precisely. Stereo imaging and surround sound
effects and dialogue are greatly improved by pointing the tweeter
correctly.
To Correctly Point the Tweeter:
1. Move the tweeter so that
it points toward the
desired listening position.
2. Turn TheaterPointer on by
pressing the power button.
3. Place the TheaterPointer
into the triangular hole
located on the tweeter’s
protective cover. Notice
the red beam of light
emanating from the
TheaterPointer.
