Neat Acoustics ELITE SX Instructions For Use

Congratulations on choosing the Neat ELITE SX loudspeakers. Used correctly, they will provide a lifetime of beautiful
music. Please read the following notes in order to get the best from them.
A 'running in' period of at least 200 hours is necessary to stabilise performance. After this period, a further

SETUP

Fit the locking rings to the spikes and fit the spikes to the bushes in the plinths. Return to upright and place the speakers
approximately in area where they will be used. Level by adjusting the spikes, then tighten the locking rings by hand.

CONNECTION

The ELITE SX is normally supplied with the bi-wire terminals linked, for 'normal' (single-wire) connection.
Bi-wiring is effected by removing the links and running two sets of cable from the amplifier output terminals. Connect one
set to the lower and one set to the upper terminals on the rear of the speaker. Take care to ensure correct polarity (i.e. red
and black connections maintained at amplifier and speaker).
Where bi-amplification is being considered, it is advisable to consult a dealer, or Neat Acoustics, for advice.

POSITIONING

Due to huge variations in room acoustics, there are few hard and fast rules governing loudspeaker positioning, so
experimentation is recommended. Generally speaking, bass output increases as distance from the rear wall, or side wall,
decreases. Stereo depth and associated effects improve as the speaker is brought away from room boundaries.
Start with the ELITE SX at approx. 30cm from the rear walls and 60 cm from side walls. Make incremental moves in
different directions, noting the changes, until an optimal position is reached. Remember that sometimes very small
movements of the loudspeaker can bring about startling differences in performance.
