Introduction

Check that your amplier is switched o before installing your loudspeakers. Failure
to do so may result in speakr or amplier damage.
The positive cable from the amplier positive (or red) terminal should connect to
the (red) terminal on the loudspeaker. Similarly the negative cable should connect
the amplier negative terminal (black) to the negative terminal (black) on the
loudspeaker.
After wiring up, lower the volume to the minimum, switch on the amplier, select
the signal source and then raise the volume to the listening level required.
*For AE1072and AE1082models please refer to the amplier instruction manual as
many congurations are possible and will vary.

Connections (AE1002, AE1092, AE1202& AE105)Positioning
The 100 Series are very exible with regards to positioning and are designed to work well
wherever they are located within the listening environment. There are however some basic
guidelines that should be followed (where possible) for optimum performance.
The tweeters (high frequency drivers, N/A to subwoofer) should ideally be at ear level
when the listener is seated and for serious listening the grilles are best removed when
practical. The AE107² may require placement lower if used with a screen in a typical A/V
layout.
Rigid support is necessary for the speakers to deliver optimum dynamic response and
detail, the AE100² and AE107² benet from either good stands or a solid surface below
them. The AE109², AE120² and AE108² should be used with their oor spikes where
possible. Extra coupling can be achieved with standard mounting tack used to secure
placement.
Room positioning: The 100 Series speakers are all “room-friendly”models and should
be able to be placed where most convenient with minimal detriment to sound. Where
possible a minimum of 6”(15cm) of space should be allowed between the speakers and
the boundary walls. Stereo models should be the same distance from each other as the
listening position.
The AE105 can be mounted to a wall and can be positioned either vertically or horizontally.
It is also suitable for mounting on a shelf or ush mounted in a bookcase. Optimum
performance is achieved by mounting the AE105 vertically and listening below the
tweeter axis. Due to the way it has been designed, mounting them high on a wall either
side of a screen and listening from a seated position around 0.5m below the tweeter axis
will produce a very even, balanced sound.
Experiment and listen to what works best for you, trust your own ears and judgement.
