Getting

the

Best

Sound

from

Your

Acoustimass

-3

Series

II

System

The

compact

size

of

the

cube

speakers

and

the

almost

unlimited

placement

options

for

the

Acoustimass

module

make

the

Acoustimass-3

system

readily

adaptable

to

any

size

room

and

any

decor.

We

have

provided

the

following

Ups

to

help

you

get

the

best

possible

sound

from

your

speaker

system.

Automatic

System

Protection.

The

Acoustimass-3

speaker

system

incorporates

an

automatic

protection

circuit,

which

guards

the

system

against

most

kinds

of

potential

damage

due

to

electrical

stress

or

overload.

This

circuit

activates

at

high

volume

levels

to

reduce

the

system

output,

causing

a

slight

decrease

in

volume.

This

is

normal

operation

and

indicates

that

power

input

may

be

exceeding

sale

levels.

Sustained

listening

at

these

levels

is

not

recommended.

Distance

Between

Speakers.

In

average

-sized

listening

rooms,

you

get

the

best

stereo

sound

with

the

left

and

ri

ght

cube

speakers

placed

6

to

12

feet

apart

(approximately

1.8-3.6

m).

However,

you

can

still

get

excellent

sound

with

the

speakers

as

close

as

3

feet

(approximately

1

rn)

or

as

far

apart

as

15

feet

(approximately

4.5

m).

Using

the

Speakers

with

a

Television.

The

cube

speakers

are

magnetically

shielded

so

that

they

can

be

used

with

a

TV

or

video

monitor

without

affecting

the

picture

quality.

For

such

applications,

you

can

place

the

speakers

right

next

to

the

monitor,

if

desired.

A

variety

of

acces-

sories

is

available

to

enhance

this

application;

refer

to

the"

Accessories"

section

for

details.
