Positioning for the stereo:
When positioning your loudspeakers, follow the rules below:
- Avoid rooms with too much reverberation, such as tiled rooms with no
carpets or curtains.
- Your listening zone should not be too close to the loud speakers:
minimum 2m
- The distance between the speakers should be a minimum of 2 m for a
good stereo effect.
- If possible, place the speakers so that they "diffuse"
the room.
- Avoid placing them in the corners, this excites the rooms own resonance,
leave at least 40 cm between the wall and the speaker. Position the speakers
carefully in relation to the back wall. Generally, a position close to the back wall
improves the response in low frequencies (to the detriment of the image) and
inversely, a position far from the wall helps reproduction of a wide and deep
sound image (carry out several tests to find the best compromise in your
room).
- For the SOLIS speaker, a special stand is available (contact your dealer).
This model uses the same base as the floorstanders in the range (use of the SPEC system). You can thus position your Solis
loudspeaker ideally, with the tweeter at ear level.
Positioning for Home Cinema:
A typical home cinema installation includes:
5. Two main left and right speakers
6. A central speaker
7. One or several subwoofers
8. Several surround speakers (signal 5:1: 2 rear speakers, signal 6:1: 3
rear speakers, signal 7:1: 4 rear speakers).
To place the main speakers in the best position, follow the same rules as for a
stereo installation (see paragraph on stereo positioning).
- The center speaker should be placed on the same line formed by the two
main speakers. For the LEO major and LEO minor speakers, special stands
are available (contact your dealer). These models use the same base as the
column speakers in the range (use of the SPEC system). You can thus ideally
place your speaker under the screen.
- A subwoofer is particularly recommended in home cinema to reproduce the
special effects channel in the very low register on supports such as audio or
video DVD. The positioning of the subwoofer is not critical if you select a
connection frequency with the main speakers below 80Hz. Below this
frequency, it is better to move the subwoofer close to the main speakers, the
best position being between them. Ensure that it is not placed in the corner of
the room to avoid creating unpleasant resonance.
- It is recommended to place the rear speakers at between 1.5 and 2 m in
height. They are used to give atmosphere, the listener should not be able to
locate them. They should not be placed at ear level. On TRIANGLE rear speakers, wall fixing points are supplied. Ensure the fixing is
suited to the weight of the speaker.
You will find further instructions for configuring your installation in your A/V amplifier owner's manual.
Choosing the Amplifier;
Use a good quality amplifier (the result will be better) and of a sufficient power. It is preferable to use a powerful amplifier, with less risk of
distortion, than "boosting" a less powerful amplifier which will clip and seriously risk damaging your loudspeakers.
Finally, remember that a volume button in the middle position does not mean that the amplifier is at "middle" power. It depends firstly on the
sensitivity of the inputs and the level of output of the source used.
