Final F100i User Manual page 11

The figure shows the best position for the loudspeaker panels. Please note that electrostatics are
dipoles, i.e. the loudspeakers produce sound from both sides of the panels. This means an
electrostatic loudspeaker should always be placed away from the wall and turned under a slight angle
with the wall (not parallel with the wall).
Typical room layout
The figure represents a typical room set up for stereo and/or virtual surround. The figure shows:
The subwoofer's preferred positions, depending on the panels you choose.
The base line between the front loudspeakers.
The stereo loudspeaker's position.
A preferred unequal distance between the side walls and the panels (a and b).
Application 1: Final Sound stereo configuration:
The panels in a stereo setting (two front panels) are preferably located in a symmetrical way and away
from the walls for optimum imaging. The panels need to point slightly towards the favorite listening
position as you can see in the figure above. For the F100i you need a subwoofer.
Application 2: Final Sound virtual surround configuration:
For virtual surround, you only need two front panels, a subwoofer and the Final Sound FVSS201/p
virtual surround receiver. The receiver's virtual surround mode, together with two loudspeakers, will
present a kind of five-channel emulation, which will give you a very broad stereo stage just as in a
movie theatre. The FVSS201/p preferably operates with the S95 subwoofer.
How do I connect the Final Sound F100i loudspeaker panels safely?
Before connecting the loudspeaker panels, all sound system equipment should be disconnected from the mains. This
will avoid the risk of damage to your system while connections are made or broken. If you experience any problems
installing the flat-panel loudspeakers please contact your authorized Final Sound dealer.
The loudspeaker panels are labeled with an L (Left) and R (Right) code.
Each flat-panel loudspeaker panel should be connected to an external power supply. As the F100i are
only available bundled with the FVSS201/p receiver, the 7-meter power cables are packed in the
receiver's carton. Each power cable's mini jack connector fits into the receiver's 12V DC mini jack
