Setup

Location tips

• Select a stable, level base.
• Make sure that the environment is clean and free from
dust.
• Avoid placing the unit close to sources of heat or in
direct sunlight.
• Do not place any heavy objects on the cables or the
speakers.
• You can find special assembly materials (cords,
speaker stands, wall brackets and resonance dampers)
adapted to these speakers in our webshop.
The following data refers to an "ideal home cinema", in
which the viewer or listener sits in a central position at
sufficient distance in front of the television or screen (see
graphic to the right) and no objects (tables or the like) are
located in between. Unfortunately, the room, furnishings
or other circumstances do not always allow for optimum
arrangement.
Modern AV receivers offer many ways to compensate for
any deficiencies in placement. The following general rule
applies: You can always experiment on what works best
in your listening room in terms of sound and appearance
based on our recommendations. Let your ears (and eyes)
decide!

Center speaker

• Place one of the three front speakers b directly under
the screen in the centre, ideally on an arc curved
slightly towards the screen.

Front speakers

• The two remaining front speakers b are set up to the
right and left of the screen.
• They should be at approximately the same height as
the center speaker and as far as possible should form
an equilateral triangle with the listener – known as the
stereo triangle (distance to listener = distance between
the speakers).
• The speakers should project sound directly into the
room or slightly towards the listener.
Subwoofer
• The location of the subwoofer can be freely selected
and does not influence the other speakers. However,
do not place it in the corner of the room as this may
result in irregular frequency overloads. A location
between the front speakers is often ideal.

Dipole rear speakers

There are two possible arrangements for these speakers:
Normally, the dipole rear speakers are set up or hung up
at head height (140 to 210 cm) to the side of the listener.
The rear speakers emit sound both to the front and back.
The distance to the rear wall should be no less than
10 cm.
The second arrangement possibility is suitable for narrow
rooms. In this case, the rear speakers are placed at a
height of 140 to 210 cm behind the listener and situated
at a 45 degree angle. This will cause the speakers to emit
sound towards the walls and generate the desired diffuse
effect. The distance to the walls should not be less than
10 cm in this case.
