POSITIONING & CONNECTING YOUR
ENERGY “TAKE 5” SPEAKERS
For best performance, please follow the guidelines outlined below:
Using Your Take2 as Left
and Right Main Speakers
For best stereo separation, we recommend the speaker pair be placed
6 to 10 feet (2-3 m) apart and a minimum of 15-inches (40cm) from
the rear wall. The distance from the loudspeakers to the listener should
be about 1 to 1.5 times the distance separating the speakers.
See Figures 1 and 2 for connection and placement.
The Take1 Center Channel Speaker
The purpose of the center channel speaker is to ensure that the central
audio image, including actors’ voices,appears to emanate from the
screen. For best results the center channel speaker should be located
directly above,or below the TV screen. See Figures 1 and 2 for
connection and placement.
Using Your Take2 as Surround/Effects Speakers
Surround effects speakers should be positioned adjacent to and slightly
behind the primary listening area, on the rear wall or in the ceiling to
provide the sense of spaciousness and ambiance for either Dolby Pro
Logic™ or the new Dolby Digital™ Surround source formats.
See Figures 1 and 2 for connection and placement.
ENERGY Powered Subwoofers
Low frequencies are essentially non-directional,so your subwoofer may
be placed anywhere in the listening room,without affecting the stereo
image of your main speakers. However, placement too near the corner
of the room may result in “boomy”bass performance. Positioning the
subwoofer further from the corner will normally result in more detailed
and accurate performance. For larger rooms, two or more subwoofers
may be used. Refer to the connection instructions in the
Owner’s Manual of your Subwoofer.
Amplifier Requirements
ENERGY loudspeakers have been designed to be driven to high
listening levels with moderate power, while at the same time being
capable of handling the power output of large amplifiers. Most
ENERGY speakers have 8 ohm nominal impedance, and will function
well with a wide range of amplifiers and receivers.
NOTE: If using more than one pair of speakers per amplifier or
receiver, please check with the amplifier manufacturer to confirm that
the amplifier can handle loads of 4 ohms.
CARE OF FINISHES
Your speakers should be gently wiped clean with a damp cloth from
time to time to remove any dust or stains. Do not use an abrasive
cleaner. To remove dust from the grille cloth, use the brush attachment
on your vacuum cleaner or a slightly dampened sponge.
