3. INSTALLATION
Side walls, and the ceiling should be far from the loudspeaker (>2 m / > 6’).
The rear wall should be at least 2 m / 6’ from the listening position, and ideally > 4 m /
>12’ to avoid bass cancellations at the listening position.
In general, the further away walls are from the loudspeakers and the listening position,
the better the sound quality will be.
3.2 Rotating the Tweeter & Waveguide Module
All ADAM Audio A Series models can be placed on the left or right in a stereo pair, and all
have a rotatable tweeter and waveguide module which allows for flexibility when deciding on
loudspeaker orientation (horizontal / vertical). We advise rotating the tweeter and waveguide
module as required before mounting an ADAM Audio A Series loudspeaker so it is easier to do.
Follow these steps to rotate the tweeter and waveguide module:
1. Cover the tweeter with masking tape, as shown in the picture below, to prevent
particles entering the
④
tweeter diaphragm:
2. Using a standard hexagonal or “Allan” key, gently loosen all four screws on the front
of the
⑤
waveguide.
3. Taking care not to detach the audio or LED cables, gently remove the tweeter and
waveguide module and rotate to the desired orientation.
4. Reinsert the tweeter and waveguide module, and gently tighten the four screws.
3.1 Planning
Read the safety instructions at the start of this operating manual before installing
the loudspeaker.
Consider these factors when planning the installation of the loudspeakers in the room:
With respect to the walls, the loudspeakers should be placed symmetrically in the room
to ensure a good stereo image.
The furniture and equipment in the room should be placed symmetrically (left/right) to
ensure a good stereo image. If the loudspeaker is close to a desktop, the Desk control
should be used to compensate for the desktop loading – see section 4.1
Reflecting surfaces should be acoustically treated to reduce the effect of the reflection
at the listening position.
Avoid placing loudspeakers near room corners as there will be two reflecting surfaces
near to the loudspeaker which will create comb filtering unless well treated. Also,
there may be strong coupling of the loudspeaker to the room which can lead to strong
audible resonances.
The front wall should be very close to the loudspeaker (<0.3 m / <1’ from the back panel)
or very far away from the loudspeaker (>2 m / > 6’). Loudspeakers placed between these
distances to the wall may suffer from strong cancellations resulting in reduced bass at
the listening position. If the loudspeaker is bass managed, the “far away distance” can
be reduced to >1 m / 3’. If the loudspeaker is close to the wall the Bass control should
be used to compensate for the wall loading – see section 4.1
