The main amplifier is integrated in the loudspeaker and has been adapted for it. Therefore the loudspeakers have connections for mains power and the signal. The signal cable has to be connected to the output of the preamplifier or the integrated amplifier. Sometimes also CD-Players have variable preamplifier-outputs.

You can improve the acoustic environment in many ways to get the best results. You can ask a professional acoustician to get ideas for improvements. With ELLA you can use the Roll-Off selector to get a closer matching between both loudspeakers in the lower frequency range. - Page 5 ELLA can be placed on a wall and also in free space. In both positions the sound is of high quality due to the special form and the Roll Off function in the amplifier. With our angled plugs, a minimum distance of 3cm for the cooling of the amplifier is guaranteed.

The level determined should be noted in the protocol. The Roll-Off control can also be used to combine ELLA with a Subwoofer. A subwoofer is useful when high sound pressure levels in the low frequency range down to 20Hz are requested. Please use only high-quality Subwoofers with flat low pass filters (-6dB to -12dB/Octave). -
Page 8: Listening To Music
To get a realistic effect and for everyday-use it is important that a loudspeaker sounds convincing at moderate levels. You will realize when listening with ELLA, that high sound pressure levels are not important to get the full range of details in the music. This is another benefit of the active technology. -
