Vienna Acoustics Schonberg Series Speaker User Manual


 
For the Aluminium Line, as with any loudspeaker, we recommend trying different
positions for the speakers, as subtle changes in placement can make a significant
difference in sound. For example, changes in the angle of a speaker toward the
listening position can produce significant improve-ments in performance.
And while the Aluminium Line has been designed to perform at its best in close
proximity to the wall behind the speakers, when not using the wall mounting option,
experimenting with small changes in this distance to the back wall can result in
improved bass performance.
In general, you should start with the tweeters positioned to the inside, toward each
other.
However, experimentation with the tweeters posi-tioned on the outside may prove
beneficial for im-proved performance in some installations.
It is also recommended, that the area around your speakers remain uncluttered,
allowing for unob-structed dispersion of the audio signal.
Please give the speakers around 30 hours of initial playing time prior to critical
listening. As with any loudspeaker, playing time is required to allow both mechanical
and electrical devices in the loudspeaker to break-in.
POSITIONING SCHÖNBERG
Room acoustics and positioning of a speaker within the room have an important effect
on sound quality.
SCHÖNBERG features an adjustable spike stand for perfect decoupling and stability. It
was developed for optimum sonic results at a distance of 0 – 40 cm (0 – 15 inches)
from the wall.
POSITIONING WEBERN & BERG
A. On wall application:
Wall mounting is allowed by an ingenious aluminium mounting device, unrivalled in its
ability to provide the best environment for superior sound quality.
Three positions are afforded by this bracket, enabling the speaker to be angled toward
the listening positioning for best performance.
The bolts that fix the angled position presses the cabinet against a rubber decoupling
device, there-fore damping and silencing the interface point between wall and speaker.
This prevents detrimental resonance from being transferred between wall and speaker.
Additionally, this wall-mounting device allows not only for vertical but also for
horizontal positioning, allowing WEBERN & BERG to be used as a center speaker with a
plasma-television or under a screen used with a video projector.
