Page 6: Choosing The Right Wire, Cables & Connectors
Choosing the Right Wires, Cables, and Connectors Speaker Wire: We recommend using speaker wire that is at least 14 gauge. (For runs longer than 15 feet, use 12 gauge or larger.) The wire should be cut into equal lengths for each pair of speakers and long enough to reach from the rear of your amplifier or receiver to where the speakers will be placed in... -
Page 7: Placement
Stereo Placement For two channel music listening, there are two speakers—one left and one right. Where a speaker is placed will influence the way it sounds. Sound consists of waves, and they can be reflected, absorbed and diffracted. You can have no bass at all or incredible booming bass depending on your speaker placement. -
Page 8: Home Theater Placement - Optimizing For Surround Sound
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 5 smaller satellite or bookshelf speakers designed to carry mid-range and upper tones, with a separately powered subwoofer to handle the lower bass frequencies. - Page 9 The Subwoofer The human ear cannot localize the long wavelengths of bass frequencies below about 100Hz. As long as your Aperion Audio Subwoofer is set at the recommended cut-off of 80-85 Hz or below, you will have a lot of flexibility as to where you place it.

Making The Connection First, turn off the power and unplug from the electrical outlet your audio equipment before making any connections. 5 Way Binding Post If you’re connecting 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. -

Page 18: Listening
Listening We recommend that you break-in the speakers prior to listening, so you will want to give them a few days of playing at low and medium volumes. Similar to an athlete stretching before a track meet, breaking in the speakers will limber-up the driver components so that they are ready to perform their very best. -
Page 19: Adjusting Your Room Or Speakers
Adjusting Your Room or Speakers for best performance Room acoustics have just as much effect on sound quality as the speakers themselves. In order to obtain the best sound, the way the recording engineers and movie-producers intended, you may need to make just a few minor adjustments to your room set-up. -
Page 20: Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting Setting up a home theater system can seem like a daunting task. The speaker connections are usually the easiest part. It is important to plan out how you will be connecting your components and speakers before you start. Read the instructions provided with your components even if you don’t usually read instructions. - Page 21 Why is there no sound from the rear channels? Make sure the speakers are attached to the rear channel outputs, and your receiver is in surround sound mode. A simple test for correct set-up of your receiver and speakers is to use the test tone function of your receiver or decoder.
