When positioning the monitors
you’ll want to set up what is com-

the space between the left and
right monitor is equal as is the
distance from the listener to each
monitor, forming an equilateral
triangle. (Figure 2.)

Just about all speaker wire will have a marking indicating the negative

Généralités sur les moniteurs d'écoute AURO
Positionnement des moniteurs Auro
Il est important de créer un
“triangle d’écoute”. Grâce à cette
configuration idéale, l’auditeur et
les moniteurs forment un triangle
équilatéral parfait (Figure 2).

Remarque :
Pratiquement tous les câbles de haut-parleur non blindés ont un
repère indiquant le côté négatif. Respectez la polarité lorsque vous effectuez les
connexions afin d'éviter tout problème d'annulation de phase.
