AE 100 SERIES - Speaker Positioning Guide; Loudspeaker Connections

Positioning
The 100 Series are very exible with regard to positioning and are
designed to work well wherever they are located within the listening
environment. There are however some basic guidelines that should
be followed (where possible) for optimum performance:
The tweeters (high frequency drivers, N/A to subwoofer) should ideally
be at ear level when the listener is seated and for serious listening the
grilles are best removed where practical. The 107 may require
placement lower if used with a screen in typical A/V layout.
Rigid support is necessary for the speakers to deliver optimum
dynamic response and detail, the 100’s and 107 benet from either
good stands or a solid surface below them, the 109’s and 108 should
be used with their own oor spikes where possible. Extra coupling can
be achieved with standard mounting tack used to secure placement.
Room positioning: The 100 Series speakers are all “room-friendly”
models and should be able to be placed where most convenient with
minimal detriment to sound. Where possible a minimum of 6” (15cm)
of space should be allowed between the speakers and boundary walls.
Stereo models should be the same distance from each other as the
listening position.
Experiment and listen to what works best for you, trust your own ears
and judgement.

Connections (100 and 109*)
Check that your amplier is switched o before installing your
loudspeakers. Failure to do so may result in speaker or amplier
damage.
The positive cable from the amplier positive (or red) terminal should
connect with the positive (red) terminal on the loudspeaker. Similarly
the negative cable should connect the amplier negative terminal
(black) to the negative terminal (black) on the loudspeaker.
After wiring up, lower the volume to the minimum, switch on the
amplier, select the signal source and then raise the volume to the
listening level required.
*For 107 and 108 models please refer to amplier instruction manual
as many congurations are possible and will vary.
