OWNER’S MANUAL
POSITIONING
Loudspeaker placement
The starting point for any setup will be to create a triangle
between each loudspeaker and the listening seat. Each side of the
triangle should have about the same distance. From this starting
point the best possible sound staging and sound balance can be
found.
Distance between loudspeakers
Setting the distance between the speakers is a trade-off
between a wide sound and a precise center image. The farther
apart the speakers (with the same listening position) the wider the
sound stage, however the center image weakens. Achieve the best
possible balance for your listening taste.
Distance between loudspeaker and the rear wall
The distance to the rear wall should be at least 0.5 meters. The rear wall reacts the low frequency
sound into the room making the sound more bass-heavy with more slam and changes the tonal balance of
the sound. The nearer the rear wall the more bass. But this will also color the sound and make the room
impose the sound even further in the bass region. Move the speakers back and forth to achieve the right
OWNER’S MANUAL
tonal balance (with the listening seat at the same position). Moving the speaker further into the room also
improves the depth of the soundstage. Achieve the right trade-off between the tonal balance and the
depth of thesoundstage.
Position of the listening point
The distance between the speakers and the listening position, also called the sweet spot, should
be at least 7 ft (2 –2.5 meters) for the sound from the woofers, midranges and tweet- ers to integrate. Be
careful not to have the listening position right next to a wall. In the best listening position everything
snaps into focus, the soundstage is precise and spacious and the tonal balance is just right. Move the
listening position back and forth to achieve this.
OWNER’S MANUAL
CONNECTING THE SPEAKERS
Before connecting the loudspeakers to your amplifier, switch off the amplifier completely.
Step 1: Connect a two-pole loudspeaker cable to the binding posts of the LEFT speaker, located
at rear of the Cabinet. Connect one cable lead to the red (+) post, and the other cables lead to the white (–)
post. Connect a two-pole loudspeaker cable to the binding posts of the RIGHT speaker, located at rear of
the Cabinet. Connect one cable lead to the red (+) post, and the other cables lead to the white (–) post.
Step 2: With your amplifier switched off, connect the other end of the left loudspeaker cable to
the left left loudspeaker outputs of the amplifier. Take care to ensure the correct polarity: Chose the red
(+) output and white or black (-) output according to the loudspeaker binding posts.
Ensure that the positive and negative cables (+/-) do not make contact with each other.
Otherwise your amplifier or loudspeakers may be damaged. Ensure that the connectors
have a clean contact area and that the contact is tight., loudspeaker cables that will suit
both your electronics and the NIME loudspeakers. Tighten the posts and check the
contact regularly to make sure that it hasn’t loosened over time.
