Note

in

Figure

1

that

the

front

of

the

speaker

is

the

fl

at

surface

and

the

rear

is

the

"vee"

surface

with

the

angled

panels.

This

orientation

of

the

speaker

is

important

to

obtain

the

proper

distribution

and

reflection

of

sound

radiated

from

the

speaker.

So,

point

the

"vee"

toward

the

wall.

3.

The

distance

of

the

speakers

from

the

wall

is

very

important.

For

best

results,

the

point

of

the

"vee"

should

li

e

from

12

to

18

inches

from

the

wall

-

in

any

case

never

closer

than

6

inches

or

further

than

24

inches.

4.

If

possible,

keep

the

area

between

the

speaker

and

the

wall

relatively

clear

and

open.

The

sound

emerging

from

the

rear

of

the

speakers

must

reach

the

nearby

walls

and

re

-

radiate

freely

for

the

best

results.

5.

The

ideal

height

of

the

speakers

is

in

the

range

from

36

to

48

inches

off

the

floor

-

the

height

of

most

musical

in-

struments

during

a

concert.

At

a

minimum,

keep

the

speakers

12

inches

from

the

floor.

Connecting

the

Speakers

The

speakers

must

be

connected

to

the

outputs

on

your

ampli-

fier

(connect

to

the

8

ohm

outputs

if

more

than

one

output

is

available).

Any

good

quality

two

-conductor

wire

(#18

wire

size

or

bigger)

can

be

used,

such

as

ordinary

lamp

cord.

Preserve

the

speaker

phasing

by

connecting

the

speaker

terminal

marked

"8a"

to

the

"hot"

or
