Energy Speaker Systems 7AI Manual De Usuario

It is VITAL that your new Veritas

™

speakers be allowed to

break In properly before you perform any precise set up

procedures, system adjustments, and before you play

them at higher volume levels. 

The best method of performing the break in is to play a

full range musical passage at a moderate level as long as

possible. Utilizing the repeat function on your CD or DVD

player can assist greatly. 

Optimum sound will not be achieved until approximately

100 hours of playing time. After break-in, the volume level

can be increased. Do not play the speakers at higher

levels until the break in process has been completed. The

transducers need to “loosen up”, and until this occurs,

damage can result to the transducers. 

There are three basic steps in the successful installation 

of the system. 

1)

Decide where you wish to place the speakers

2)

Connect the speakers

3)

Adjust the controls where necessary

The most vital part of the set up procedure to realize the

goal of getting the best sound your room, and equipment

has to offer, is proper placement of the speakers. Please

wait until the speakers are fully broken in before

experimenting with precise speaker placement. There are

a few do's and don't's with regards to speaker placement. 

1)

With regards to the front speakers, try not to place

them too close or too far apart. The “1.5 times the

width” rule applies, and is required for good stereo

imaging from the front speakers. See the Advanced

Set Up section for details.

2)

The center channel speaker needs to be centrally

located so that the dialog appears to be coming from

the center of the TV or Screen. See the Advanced Set

Up section for details.

3)

The rear channel Veritas

™

2.0R are quite flexible with

regards to placement, but still require care when

choosing the placement. Study your room carefully

and decide whether the side walls are best, or the

rear walls. The goal is to try to position the speaker

system around you, so that you are “surrounded” by

the information from the different channels. The

choice of rear speaker placement depends greatly on

the position of the listeners. The ultimate goal, is to

have the rear speakers approximately the same

distance from the listeners as the front speakers. If the

room's layout does not allow for this, then the basic

rule is to place the front and rear speakers in the

room so that they form a square or rectangle around

the listeners. More details are found ahead. 

The placement of the front speakers in relation to the

listener is absolutely critical. The perfect set up would

place the listener at the end of a triangle, with the

distance from speaker to listener being 1.5 times the width

between the two speakers. The minimum distance

between the speakers is 6-8 feet, any less and the stereo

imaging will be quite poor. 

The optimum room shape would be a rectangular room,

with the speakers along the short wall, facing towards the

other short wall. Placement in corners, and against a wall

is not recommended. Try to keep the speakers, especially

rear vented models a minimum of 2 feet from the back

wall, and corner placement is usually the worst of all

possible places to put a speaker.

The ENERGY

design philosophy of Wide and Constant

Dispersion provides a wide image, and clarity off axis from

the speaker. For best results, utilize the side walls of the

room to enhance the size and depth of the image.
