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.
