These two factors causing distortion in bass drivers are practically eliminated by the combination of an aluminum shorting ring within the magnet structure, the aluminum phase plug on the pole piece, and a shorted copper turn on top of the pole piece. The aluminum phase plug smoothes response and also contributes as a heat sink for the voice coil, reducing power compression. Long voice coils for all woofers (in a narrow gap) ensure high and uniform BL vs. excursion, to maintain dynamic l

Speaker Placement — Maximizing Your Enjoyment Proper loudspeaker placement is an essential ingredient to getting the best sound from your high performance stereo, multi-channel audio or home theater system. The goal is to reproduce faithfully the audio soundtrack the movie director or music producer created without calling any attention to the speakers themselves. All distances are equal All distances are equal 5.1 surround speaker placement 6.1/7.1 surround speaker placement Fortunately, i

Owner’s Manual enclosures are positioned vertically rather than horizontally. If you are placing your monitors horizontally, the speakers will still perform very well, but the seating area where you will enjoy optimum sound will become narrower. We suggest you position the tweeters to the outside away from the center line. You may prefer to tilt the speakers towards ear level. D. If you sit equally distant from both speakers, angling the speakers inward (“toeing them in’) about 5 to 10 de

inches from all walls, but the choice is yours to determine by listening. 2. You in Relation to the Speakers Where you sit in relation to your speakers obviously makes a difference too. The proportions of the particular triangle formed by your speakers and you matter. (You may need to send more power to the more distant speaker to compensate if you get much further from one speaker than the other.) The overall distances involved also matter. As you get further from the speakers, more s

Owner’s Manual 4. Positioning Surround Speakers We are often asked about what kind of surround speakers are best: dipole, bipole, or monopole (direct-radiator).

positioning relation to the listener to obtain the level of direct versus diffuse sound that you prefer. Most people find it best to mount dedicated surround speakers like our Synchrony S Surrounds on the side walls slightly behind the prime listening position and two feet above ear height when seated (this typically places the bottom of the speaker about 5 feet (1.5 m) above the floor.) The surround speakers can also be mounted at ceiling level or on floor stands if this is preferred

Synchrony Port Cover A Port Cover accessory is supplied with each tower (Synchrony One and Two) and center channel speaker (Synchrony One C and Two C). The port covers can be used to adjust the bass tuning of the Synchrony models where room problems at low frequencies (in the 100Hz region) occur. It is well known that the room can dominate the performance of the low frequencies below 200Hz and the added flexibility of a port cover can tweak/improve the performance in problem room
