[. . . ] ATTENTION: If one of the speakers is placed next to a television, color settings may be affected by the speaker’s magnetism. This precaution is not necessary for central speakers, which are shielded (protected against magnetic field interference). Bi-wiring and bi-amplification For those wishing to improve their listening system further, it is possible to use bi-wiring or bi-amplification. All loudspeakers in the Esprit range (except rear loudspeaker) can be bi-wired or biamplified. [. . . ] Leave at least 40 cm between the wall and the speaker. Adjust the position of the speakers in relation to the rear wall. Generally, a position close to the rear wall improves the response in low frequencies (to the detriment of the image) and inversely, a position far from the wall reproduces a wide and deep sound image. Carry out several test positions to find the best room set up. Indd 15 15/07/2009 09:19:11 Positioning for Home Cinema: A typical home cinema installation includes: 1.

Their role is to reproduce surround sound; the listener should not be able to locate them and they should not be placed at ear level. TRIANGLE’s rear speakers are supplied with special wall mount accessories. Ensure that you take into account the weight of the speaker when fixing it onto the wall. You will find further instructions for configuring your installation in your A/V amplifier owner manual. Choosing the Amplifier; For optimal results, it is important to choose a good quality amplifier with sufficient power.
