Page 14: Erd-1 Bi-Pole/Di-Pole Controls
ERD-1 Di-pole/Bi-pole Switch Configurations ERD-1 Surround Speakers are designed to move sound through the listening space, and accomplish this through the use of dual tweeters. These can be configured in four possible switch positions which determine the speaker’s role as Bi-pole, left or right side Di-pole, or left/right inverted Bi-pole. Left/Right Bi-pole This switch configuration has BOTH tweeters in polarity with the midrange driver. -

The subsequent section on Speaker Placement Tips will also help you determine some of the ideal positioning of your new Emotiva speakers based on the configuration of your room, furniture, and other components. -

Page 17: Center Speaker
This is an acceptable approach where the room is wider and the LEFT/RIGHT speakers are further out. Tweeter position: To get the most out of your system, Emotiva recommends that you position your center channel speaker with the tweeter facing down (towards the floor) when the speaker is mounted above your TV, and facing up (towards the ceiling) when the speaker is placed beneath the TV. -
Page 18: Surround Speakers
Should the surround speaker locations be chosen to be behind the listeners, Emotiva recommends a bi- pole setting to initially evaluate the performance but eliminate the null zone effect. These suggested configurations are the norm, but given personal listening taste, odd room configurations, etc., it is possible... -
Page 19: Installing The Speakers
Installing the Speakers Positioning Left and right front speakers should be positioned so that your TV is exactly centered between them. This will help focus your attention towards the screen. For the best overall imaging, the left speaker should be set exactly the same distance and angle away from your listening position as the right speaker. -

Page 22: Ert/Erm Bi-Amp Connections
In a bi-amped connection, two discrete amplifier channels are connected per speaker. This allows the power to be delivered with different levels to tweeters than to the woofer drivers. The passive crossover network still handles the filtering so active preamplifier LP/HP filtering that would take the place of the passive network is not necessary. -
