For your convenience, Aperion Audio carries high-quality wires, cables, and connectors. Visit our web site at www.aperionaudio.com if you need these accessories. -
Page 5: Placement
Stereo Placement For two channel music listening, there are two speakers—one left and one right. Sound consists of waves, which can be reflected, absorbed and diffracted. Therefore, where a speaker is placed will influence the way it sounds. You can have very little or incredible booming bass depending on your speaker placement. -
Page 6: Multichannel Music & Home Theater Placement
Home theater and multi-channel music has introduced a new speaker configuration to home audio. Instead of the large floor mounted stereo speakers of the 70’s and 80’s, your Aperion Audio sound system is comprised of a combination of small, easy to locate speakers to carry the mid and high frequencies and a powered subwoofer for the low bass. -

Making The Connection First, turn off the power and unplug your audio equipment from the electrical outlet before making any connections. 5 Way Binding Post with just bare wire, strip off about ½ inch of insulation at each end and twist the wire ends tightly, making sure there are no stray ends. -
