The top-of-theline E100 is something special. It is simply the smoothest loudspeaker ever produced in the 27year history of Boston Acoustics. [. . . ] The ambience tweeter will be "splashing" against a nearby hard surface, and you may well find this rebalancing (a bit of sizzle, perhaps, assuming the front wall is hard) to your liking, or you may not. You also will want to experiment with it on and off according to program material --- movies vs music, orchestral (or choral or chamber music, or jazz) vs pop and rock, and so on. You will find that the difference in airiness and detail is subtle but real, and further sets the E100 apart from most other modern high-end loudspeaker designs. Adding a Subwoofer The E100 can handle a large amount of power, including low frequencies. Your receiver or amplifier will probably distort before your speakers will. And this powerhandling capability extends all the way down to below 39Hz. However, many modern movies today, and certain kinds of musical program material, contain significant amounts of signal below 35Hz, whether from film-track explosions or from drum, organ, and synthesizer. Assuming you regularly play such movies and music, you will want to add a subwoofer. Boston Acoustics has several models available, the best solution depending on your room size and taste in program material. We even offer in-wall/in-ceiling as well as infloor designs for low bass that's heard but not seen. (Both require ­8­ professional installation. ) To discover which options work best for your situation, please consult your dealer. Conventional Hookup WARNING: To prevent electrical shock, always switch off the amplifier or receiver when making connections to the speaker. With any speaker system it's important that each speaker channel be wired the same way to your receiver or amplifier, red speaker terminal to red amp terminal and black to black, + to + and ­ to ­ . If you bi-wire, use the same type and length of wire for all connections, and again maintain + to + (red) and ­ to ­ (black). 1) Loosen all four terminals and remove the jumper straps. 2) Connect the wires from the amplifier's speaker output terminals to the sets of terminals on the back of each speaker as shown. R L R L R L R L R L FRONT A FRONT B CENTER SURROUND Bi-amping Bi-amplification entails separate amplifiers for the woofer(s) and tweeter and can enhance the dynamic performance and the ease of the sound from your system. Splitting the load lets each amplifier work less hard, increasing the power available to each driver. If you bi-amp, use the same type and length of wire for all connections, maintaining + to + (red) and ­ to ­ (black). 1) Loosen all four terminals and remove the jumper straps. 2) Connect the wires from the dedicated woofer amplifier's speaker output terminals to the bottom set of terminals on the back of each speaker, as shown. 3) Repeat for the tweeter: Connect the wires from its amplifier's speaker output terminals to the top set of terminals on the back of each speaker, as shown. ­ 10 ­ Acoustics If you like a bright, lively sound, keep the front wall of your listening room bare, and the other wails and the floor, too. While this will also enlarge the sonic image, making it the most spacious, it may be also a little loud and "ringy. " Conversely, rugs, drapes, bookcases, and wall hangings produce drier and tighter (`'dead'' in the good sense) sonics and imaging, which many critical listeners find more satisfactory. A room with a mix of surfaces often works best (and is most pleasant to live and converse in): hard ceiling and carpeted floor, or bare floor and acoustically treated ceiling. Speakers placed out in the room may sound slightly lean. [. . . ] Producenten har betalat för denna återvinningshantering.
