Jas-Audio ORSUS - Manual (Page 5)

Connections – Initial installation
The cables used to connect the speakers to the power amplifier can have a
significant effect on the sound of your audio system. Your authorized JAS
Audio dealer can recommend the appropriate speaker cables for your audio
system setup.
Each speaker has two terminals on the rear panel. The terminals are binding
posts that accept either spade lugs, pins and banana plugs.
Make sure the cables connected to both speakers are in phase with each
other: connect the (+) binding post on the amplifier to the (+) terminal on the
speaker, and the (-) binding post on the amplifier to the (-) terminal on the
speaker.
Speaker Placement
The JAS Orsus speakers can produce excellent sound in any location.
Therefore you should use these guidelines as a starting point and make
minor adjustments to the position of the speakers and other objects in the
room until you find the combinations that sound best to you.
As a general rule, the distance between the front plane of the speakers and
the front wall of your listening room should be approximately 20% of the
total length of the room; the distance from each speaker to the closest side
wall should be about 20% of the total width of the room. The distance from
the listener＇s chair or couch to the wall behind the listener should be about
the same as the distance between the speakers and the front wall.
This figure shows the relative
position of the two speakers and the
listening position. The front of each
speaker should be angled toward
the listening position. ( Result might
vary depending on the room
acoustic conditions, desirable result
can be achieved by continuous
tweaking.)
