Speaker Positioning - Totem Tribe Solution Bars Series Owner's Manual

SPEAKER POSITIONING

Totem produces speakers with great dispersion, both on the vertical and horizontal axis. They can be
placed in extremely varied positions and still produce a large and accommodating, non-shifting
soundstage. Tribe Solution Bars can be wall mounted, placed on a mantel, on traditional AV stands or on
lowboy furniture.
FIG 1
This image shows the speakers as they should be used, with the tweeters positioned between woofers
justified towards the top of the cabinet (see FIG 1). If the Solution Bar is positioned substantially above
the listening area, at 6 feet or above, position the bar with the tweeters justified towards the bottom of
the cabinet (see FIG 2).
FIG 2
DECOUPLING
When not wall mounted and positioned on a flat surface, Totem recommends decoupling the
loudspeaker to break down cabinet resonance for optimum results. Tribe Solution bars come equipped
with 6 adhesive backed acoustic isolation feet.
FIG 3
Attach them in the front and back of the extremities and middle of the cabinet (see FIG3).
The adhesive is strong and once the feet are applied, they cannot be removed without the possibility
of removing the finish as well.
