Anthony Gallo Nucleus Micro - Manual (Page 6)

Specifications
In power terms, you simply do not need more than the most ordinary receiver. You'll be surprised at just how
good such a unit can sound when you have speakers that are designed to work with it. You will, most likely,
get great results even from an old receiver or mini rack system.
Issues of current vs voltage consumption are too involved for this owner's manual. Let us say simply that a
unique benefit of our 'S2' technology is to greatly reduce the current required for satisfying performance. Since
the first victim of cost reduction in mass market amplifiers is high current capability, this means that A/V
receivers sound better on Micro systems than on other less efficient speakers.
The Micro system is designed for amplifiers up to 100 watts per channel, when the satellites are connected
to our subwoofer. Larger amps are capable of overdriving the speakers. When the satellites are connected
directly to an amp or receiver, they are designed for 40 watts per channels above 90hz (the small enclosure
setting). This is approximately the (small enclosure) setting on most A/V receivers. Higher power or lower
frequencies may damage the speakers and void the warranty.

Placement of Satellites Speakers
1. Wallflower stands are available in black, white and stainless steel. Follow assembly and placement
instructions packed with the stands.
2. Micro satellites have a 1/4- 20 threaded insert on the back. Most dealers stock wall brackets that will
fit this insert. They also interface with a pin when used with our wallflower stands.
3. The small doughnut shaped rings packed with your satellites are acoustic isolation rings which are
bases for the satellites. They allow you to place the satellites on any flat surface, like a TV set or
bookshelf. Our steel enclosure provides magnetic shielding.
4. When placing the satellites on a flat surface, keep the front of the satellite near the front (within 1-2')
of the surface for best performance. Placing the satellite toward the back of the surface causes
diffraction effects, where the sound bounces off the surface directly in front of the speaker and
interferes with the directly radiated sound.
5. The position of any speakers in your room directly affects their performance. Small room placement
changes can produce large performance changes. Experiment for best results. Place front channels
about 6 to 10 feet apart, depending upon room size and listening position. The listening position should
not be closer to the speakers than the distance between the speakers.
6. Main speakers should be placed about ear height, and angled slightly toward the listening position.
Center channel speakers should be paced on top of the TV set and angled toward the listening
position. Surround speakers should be ear height or higher, and angled toward the listening position.
However, surround placement is not as critical as the other channels.
7. Our speakers are sold only through highly qualified audio specialists. They will be happy to advise
you on how to get the best performance from your installation. Be sure to ask them directly.
