M2500 User Guide
• Thus if you have stereo subwoofers, which are best for music
reproduction, place them near the Left and Right speakers.
Then the bass will blend optimally between the main speakers
and the subwoofers and the system will image well.
• If you are using the subwoofer as a mono or centre subwoofer,
place it close to the centre of the room at the front, ideally
under the centre channel if you have one.
• The front of the subwoofer should be directed at the listening
seats if possible. In home theatre applications, this makes
effects more convincing.
• Do not place anything in front of the subwoofer which could
obstruct the air movement from the drive units.
Note. Systems containing subwoofers can produce very high
levels of bass which may cause fixtures in a room to rattle and
excite ‘boomy’ standing wave resonances due to the shape of the
room. Correct speaker positioning can help minimise these
problems, which can be tested for when calibrating the subwoofer.
The 565 Digital Surround Processor has a built in test which can
help with this without the need for special equipment or source
material.
Vertical operation
Although primarily intended for horizontal siting, the M2500 can
also be used in the vertical orientation. Care must be taken to
ensure adequate ventilation on the heatsinks, which are optimised
for horizontal use.
General Guidelines
Please note the following:
• If possible, you should locate the M2500 so that the electronics
(front) of the speaker are not subjected to long-term strong
sunshine. The heatsink should be cool (less than hand-hot)
when the unit is not in use.
• The M2500 is magnetically shielded and may be placed close
to a television.
• In a custom cabinet it is entirely the responsibility of you and
your dealer to ensure adequate ventilation. If in doubt this can
determined by operating the unit and monitoring the
temperature of the heatsink.
• Permanent wiring to a building is prohibited by most building
codes.
Final adjustments
Having sited your loudspeaker, we suggest you leave it on its
castors until the system has been calibrated, and then remove
them and optionally fit the spikes as described below.
