STUDIO 190/STUDIO 180/STUDIO 130  LEFT AND RIGHT CHANNELS
For best results, place the speakers 6 – 10 feet (1.8m – 3m) apart. Angling the speakers toward the listening position can
improve the stereo imaging. The speakers will produce the most accurate stereo soundstage when the angle between
the listener and the speakers is between 40 and 60 degrees.
Generally, bass output will increase as the speaker is moved closer to a wall or corner.
For best performance, we recommend that you place the speakers at least 20 inches (51cm) away from the side walls.
Position
t Studio 130 shelf speakers so that their tweeters are approximately at ear level. Peel the adhesive rubber feet
from the card and apply them to the bottoms of the speakers.

STUDIO 120c
You should place the center speaker directly above or below the center of your TV screen. The speaker’s center should
be no more than 2 feet (61cm) above or below the tweeters of the front left and front right speakers. If your TV set is
deep enough, you can set the center speaker on top of the TV, with the speaker’s front edge even with the TV’s front
edge.

STUDIO 130  SURROUND CHANNELS 5.1CHANNEL SYSTEM
When you use Studio 130 speakers as surround-channel speakers in a 5.1-channel system, place them slightly behind
the listening position, facing each other. Ideally, they should be 5 – 6 feet (1.5m – 1.8m) above the floor. An alternate
location would be on a wall behind the listening position, facing forward. The surround speakers should not call
attention to themselves while they’re playing. Experiment with their placement until you hear a diffuse, ambient sound
accompanying the sounds that you hear from the front left, front right and center speakers.

CAUTION: Make sure that all of the system’s electrical components are turned OFF (and preferably
unplugged from their AC outlets) before making any connections.
Speakers and amplifiers have corresponding positive and negative (“+” and “–”) connection terminals. All Studio 1 series
speakers have connection terminals that are marked “+” and “–” on the terminal-cup assembly. Additionally, the “+”
terminals have red markings, while the “–” terminals have black markings.
To ensure proper polarity, connect each “+” terminal on the back of the amplifier or receiver to the respective “+” (red)
terminal on each speaker. Connect the “–” terminals in a similar way. Do not reverse polarities (i.e., “+” to “–” or “–” to “+”)
when making connections. Doing so will cause poor stereo imaging and diminished bass performance.
IMPORTANT: Make sure the (+) and (–) wires or connectors do not touch each other or the other terminal.
Touching wires can cause a short circuit that can damage your receiver or amplifier.
BASIC SINGLEWIRE CONNECTION
Connect the amplifier to each speaker as shown in the illustration below.
For the Studio 190 and Studio 180 speakers, you can use either set of terminals on the connector panel.
IMPORTANT: Do not remove the metal jumpers from between the two sets of terminals when connecting
the speaker wires.

BIWIRE CONNECTION STUDIO 190/STUDIO 180
The Studio 190 and Studio 180 connection assemblies have two sets of input terminals that are connected by metal
jumper bars. The upper set of terminals is for the midrange/tweeter, and the lower set of terminals is for the woofer(s).
This arrangement allows you to bi-wire the speakers using a single stereo amplifier or using two stereo amplifiers.
Bi-wiring can offer sonic advantages and more flexibility in power-amplifier selection over a conventional single-wire
connection.
Before bi-wiring the speakers, remove the jumper bars.

Wipe the cabinet with a clean, dry cloth to remove dust. Damp cloths may dull the cabinet’s finish. Do not use volatile t
liquids such as benzene, paint thinner or alcohol on the cabinet.
Do not spray insecticide near the cabinet.
t
To remove dust from the grille fabric, use a vacuum cleaner set to low suction. t
Do not wash the grilles in water, as it may fade the color or make it uneven. t
If the surfaces of the woofer and midrange cones become dusty, you can carefully sweep them clean with a soft, dry t
calligraphy brush or paint brush. Do not use a damp cloth.
NEVER touch anything to the tweeter dome.

Beste Ergebnisse erreichen Sie, wenn Sie die Lautsprecher in einem Abstand von 1,8 – 3,0 Metern voneinander aufstellen.
Richten Sie die Lautsprecher zur Hörposition hin aus, um das Klangpanorama zu verbessern. Der Winkel zueinander sollte
dabei zwischen 40 und 60 Grad liegen
Allgemein gilt: Je näher der Lautsprecher zu einer Wand oder Zimmerecke steht, desto kräftiger die Basswiedergabe.
Beste Ergebnisse erzielen Sie, wenn Sie die Lautsprecher mindestens 51 cm von jeder Wand entfernt aufstellen.
Platzieren Sie die

Am besten platzieren Sie den Center direkt unter oder über dem Fernsehgerät. Die Mitte des Centers sollte nicht weiter als
61 cm höher oder niedriger stehen als die Hochtöner der beiden Frontlautsprecher. Ist das TV-Gehäuse tief genug, können
Sie den Center auf Ihr Fernsehgerät stellen – achten Sie dabei, dass die TV-Vorderseite und die Lautsprecherfront bündig
abschließen.
