Some suggestions:
1. Set your speakers eight (8) feet to fifteen (15) feet apart, depending on
room size and listening area. The larger the room, the farther apart the
speakers may go. Ho ever, the prime listening area should not be closer to
each speaker than the distance bet een speakers. In most rooms, it is
helpful to angle both speakers slightly to ards the listening position ( 7
degree to 10 degree).
2. Both speakers should be positioned on the same plane facing the listener
(i.e. along the same all). Speakers should never be placed kitty-corner in
a room; this destroys stereo imaging.
3. In most listening rooms, AMC bookshelf speakers ill sound better raised
five (5) to t enty (20) inches off the floor. AMC floor standing models are
pre-positioned through design and are optimum hen listening in the
seated position. This type of positioning, or design optimization is
necessary because the floor acts as an un anted reflecting surface for lo
frequencies.
For non-floor standing speakers, AMC has design stands hich raise the
speaker to desirable heights.
4. The t eeters should be aimed at or be near ear level height to produce the
most realistic musical imaging and sound stage.
5. When making the decision on here your loudspeakers ill go in your
room, bear in mind that the quantity of bass from your loudspeaker ill
increase as you move it closer to intersecting room surfaces ( all and all,
all and floor, all and ceiling). Bass ill increase the most hen the
speaker is placed in a corner (intersection of t o alls ith floor or ceiling).
AMC speakers are designed not to need the extra bass reinforcement
caused by alls or corners. In general, it is best to keep your speaker at
least eighteen (18) inches a ay from any alls or corners. (exceptions are
the smallest AMC bookshelf speakers hich can be placed closer to
intersecting surfaces.)
Precautions
1. All loudspeakers have operating limits. Consistently going beyond these
limits ill damage your speakers. Usually you can hear hen these limits
are being approached; your speaker ill sound “muddled”, “gritty”, or
“fuzzy”, not clear and distinct. This indicates that either your amplifier/
receiver is being overdriven into damaging distortion, or that your speaker is
being asked to produce sound beyond its physical capabilities. If you hear
such distortion at loud volume, no harm should be done if you immediately
turn do n your volume to a point here that distorted sound disappears.
Ho ever, continued operation at loud distorted volume can damage the
speaker system. Such damage is not covered by arranty.
2. Be sure to lo er your volume control each time you raise or lo er your tone
arm from record, turn a station on your tuner, or operate your tape deck in a
fast inding mode.
3. If there is a need to fuse your loudspeakers, please contact your dealer or
