THE A500 SERIES LOUDSPEAKERS IN HOME THEATER MODE
Room setup suggestions
In order to obtain the best possible sound from your loudspeaker system, it is important to
determine where the loudspeakers will sound best in your listening room. Room reflections
from the floor, ceiling and side walls influence the balance, imaging and overall sonic quality
at the listening position. Experiment with loudspeaker placement to determine which location
offers the best overall sound. As a general guide, use the room layout diagram and the
following descriptions when setting up a home theater system. (Fig.2)
AS FRONT MAIN LOUDSPEAKERS
As a starting point, place your left and right front speakers at least 2m apart from each other.
The distance from the listening position to each speaker should be close to the distance that
separates the two main speakers. Angling the speakers inward towards the listening position
may give a more spacious and realistic sound stage. The A500 loudspeakers should be
mounted on the wall or placed on stands which places the tweeters close to ear height.
AS CENTER LOUDSPEAKERS
Specially provides 2pcs A500 loudspeakers in parallel as center channel, they visually and
acoustically ideally matches the 5.1 or 7.1 home theater modes. The loudspeaker is placed
immediately either directly above or underneath the television set, since all A500
loudspeakers are magnetic shielded, they may be placed in close proximity to a televsion
without cause for concern. Otherwise please adhere to the general recommendations
outlined in the previous chapters.
AS REAR SURROUND OR SIDE REAR SURROUND LOUDSPEAKERS
The Surround Speakers may be placed either above, behind or to the sides of the listening
position. The listening position should be centered between the surround speakers. For best
performance, you may want to experiment with angling the surround speakers either towards
or away from the listening position.
IBIS SUBWOOFERS - HSUB3080 & HSUB3100
Placement of the subwoofer will largely determine quality, quantity, and extension of the bass
frequencies within your listening room. Bass frequencies are reinforced by close room
boundaries. Placing the subwoofer in a corner will make the subwoofer sound louder and
boost the very lowest frequencies. Placing the subwoofer away from walls will provide the
least reinforcement, making the bass sound subjectively thinner than if the woofer were close
to a wall. Good results can usually be obtained by placing a subwoofer along a wall 1-3feet
