CONNECTING HIFI SPEAKERS
POSITIONING FRONT SPEAKERS
Single wired a single amplifier, link bars are fitted
Bi-wired – a single amplifier, with separate wires
to drive the bass/mid unit and the treble unit.
Note that the wiring link bars are removed.
Bi-amplified – two amplifiers.
One drives each section.
Note that the wiring link bars are removed.
Important Note, please make sure that heavy multi-standard
cables are well connected and clamped. Single loose strands
arcing can cause a noise in the woofers like a faulty speaker.

Angle speakers inward by 5º to 30º
for a clearer, more tuneful mid range.
If the loudspeakers are placed too close to the walls the bass will increase but may
be boomy and indistinct. If the loudspeakers are placed further away from the
walls, the inward angle may be increased by upto 40%, although this may restrict
the width of the optimum listening position. As personal taste plays a large role,
experiment with different configurations and play a wide range of programme
before finalising the position of your speakers.

Positioning the speakers. Place the speak-
ers so that you are the same distance from
each. The distance between the speakers
should be the same as between you and
the speakers.
For best results the speakers should be at
least 10 inches (20cm) in front of a wall
and at least 30 inches (70cm) from any
corner.
