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.
  • Page 7: Speaker Placement For Surround Sound

    A single 1/4”-20 threaded insert is located on the bottom of each bookshelf speaker, so you can secure your speaker to a bookshelf or stand. If you are using the Aperion Audio i29 speaker stands, you can use the threaded top post to mount your bookshelf speakers to your stands.

  • Page 11: Home Theater Connection Diagram

    Multichannel Home Theater Connection 6.1 & 7.1 channel speaker systems support new extended surround sound formats like THX EX and DTS ES. Setting up a system with rear surround speakers is just like setting up a 5.1 system; you just add one or two rear surround speakers.

    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.

The first knob, labeled “phase” allows you to adjust the polarity of your subwoofer. If the distance from the sub to the listener is significantly different than the front and center speakers (>3’), try reversing the phase to see if it improves the...
  • Page 17: Power Tower Setup

    522D-PT Power Tower Setup Connecting Your Power Towers You will notice that there is only one set of speaker level inputs on the back of your power tower (PT). This is because your 533-PT Power Towers are designed to be used as full-range speakers. For best performance, a full-range signal is sent through the speaker level inputs.
