Placement
e location of your new Axiom tower speakers will signicantly aect the sound quality you experience in your particular room so
take care to position them correctly. Avoid trying to “hide” them inside an entertainment center or other enclosed cabinets (Axiom
makes special in-cabinet speakers for such applications.) Speakers sound their best in free space, unencumbered by surrounding
cabinetry, with a clear line towards your seating area. Large upholstered chairs blocking the tweeters may result in reduced treble
detail and clarity.
For a wide and spacious stereo or home theater soundstage, separate the front le and right speakers by 6 feet or more, up to 12 feet
apart, or by at least half the distance you sit from the speakers, e.g. if you sit 15 feet away from the speakers, separate them by at least
8 feet. You can experiment with slightly angling the speakers in toward the listening area or having them face straight out into the
room. Each room is dierent, and toeing in the speakers toward your seating may improve the stereo soundstage.
If you are using your tower speakers as your main speakers in a home theater, place them to each side of the video display or
screen equidistant from the screen so the stereo sound will be integrated with the TV image. Keep your tower speakers out of
corner locations by 1 foot or more, as corners may result in exaggerated “boomy” bass and colored sound. Leave at least 2 or 3
inches between the rear of the speakers and the wall behind for “breathing” room for the bass ports. Note, too, that the closer
you place tower speakers to any adjacent walls, including the wall behind the speakers, the greater the deep bass output will
be. e farther out you move them from nearby wall surfaces, the less bass you’ll hear. Experiment with the placement so bass
is smooth and deep, free from “boomy” bass eects (unless that’s an eect you like). Axiom has available special port plugs
hp://www.axiomaudio.com/port-plug if the proximity to the wall or corner is causing too much bass but you cannot move you
speakers out further into the room.
Every member of our Axiom team is pleased that you have decided to purchase one of our products. We have all worked hard to
bring the highest level of satisfaction to your audio experience.
Axiom is deeply commied to ongoing audio research. It began in the early 1980s when I was involved with the world-class psycho-
acoustical research that was being conducted at the National Research Council in Oawa, Canada. Since that time we have built
one of the nest acoustical laboratories in the world at our facility in Dwight, Canada where we continue this research allowing
Axiom to provide the world’s most realistic-sounding loudspeakers.
At Axiom our goal is to provide you with a truly exciting and emotional experience every time you listen to your audio system. We

Syncing (all models):
In order for your wireless speakers to receive a signal from the wireless transmier, they need to be synced/paired. is process only needs to be
performed once as all the components will remember each other, even aer disconnecting the power.
On the transmier: Press and hold the white Power/Sync or Sync buon until the green light starts ashing rapidly.
On the rst speaker: Press and hold the Power/Sync or Standby/Sync buon until the green light is solid. Note that the green indicator light on
the transmier will also now be solid.
Repeat the steps above for the second speaker and conrm that the green indicator light next to the sync buon is solid on the transmier and
both speakers. Your wireless speakers are now ready to use!
Recommendations:
e most reliable wireless signal quality will be achieved by placing the transmier and speakers within “sight” of one another. If you notice
interruptions in the audio signal, try moving the transmier to another location.
