2Set your listening position by creating an isosceles triangle between the speakers and
the listening position. It is recommended that the distance between the two speakers
(B) be greater than 2/3 of the distance to the listening position (A). (Refer to diagram
D)
Set up
Before you begin, be aware of objects in the room that may impede the sound from the
speakers. When possible, remove or relocate these items prior to setup.
Every living space has different acoustic properties. These characteristic properties are
determined by the size and shape of the room, reflective and absorbing materials, and
openings (doors/windows), and will have an affect how the speaker will perform.
While there are no absolute rules that pertain to every set up, we do recommend applying
the following fundamental guidelines to assist in achieving optimal performance. To do so
you will need a distance measuring device, tape, level, pen, calculator, and a lot of patience.
Be sure to also bring along your favorite music.
Spikes Adjustment: Floorstand and Bookshelf stand
Measure the width of the room and divide in half. Mark this position at the base of the
wall with a piece of tape. From the tape, measure the distance to the side wall and divide
by 10. Starting at the center of the room, initial placement of the speakers will be at
positions 5, left and right of center (see diagram D). Now space each speaker a
minimum of 50cm (20 inches) away from wall directly behind the speakers.

Speaker Positioning: Stereo set up
The Avyra is equipped with metal spikes to offer good stability and acoustic separation from
the floor. It is critical to ensure that the loudspeakers are leveled and the tweeters are an
equal distance to the floor. To properly adjust, use a tape measure (for the tweeter height)
and a level. Once the spikes are adjusted, make sure to lock them in place by tightening the
locking nuts.
