Positioning
The Radius 270sare the only floor standing loudspeaker in the Radius line up.
These excellent performing floor-standers, come ready to play straight out of the
box with stabilizing plinths already attached (we do not recommend that you take
this plinth off). To improve the bass response you can fit the acoustic spikes to the
underside of the plinths. These simply screw in to the remaining four holes in the
bottom of each plinth. Caution must be taken when handling the spikes as they
are very sharp. The Radius 270sshould be positioned no closer than 2 2.5
metres apart for optimum sound.
Configuration
The Radius 270scan be used in a number of system configurations. They are fully
magnetically shielded and can be positioned as close to a TV as you wish. On
their own they can be used in a two-channel stereo system for use in a medium
size room. Alternatively the Radius 270scan be used as part of a Home Theatre
system or multi-channel audio set-up. The Radius 360 or 720 subwoofers can be
used with the Radius 270sto provide deep, powerful bass. Please refer to the
section; System Wiring Configurations on page 14.
Grille Fitment
To help the Radius 270sfit into any life-style environment we include a choice of
silver and black grilles (silver and white with white Radius 270s) as standard. You
will find the spare grilles enclosed within the polystyrene packaging end caps. The
spare grille with the badge should be used on the bottom bass driver of each
cabinet. However this is not essential. You can change them to the mid bass units
if you so wish.
If you wish to change the grille colour, you can do this by carefully removing the
grille, using your fingers to gradually pull the existing grille off the cabinet. To fit a
grille, ensure the badge is correctly orientated and gently press the grille into place.
