Getting

the

Best

Sound

from

Your

Acoustimass

-3

System

The

compact

size

of

the

cube

speakers

and

the

almost

unlimited

placement

options

for

the

Acoustimass

module

make

the

koustimass•3

system

readily

adaptable

to

any

size

room

and

any

decor.

We

have

provided

the

following

lips

to

help

you

get

the

best

possible

sound

from

your

speaker

system.

The

Acoustimass-3

speaker

system

incorporates

an

automatic

protection

circuit

which

automatically

reduces

the

system's

volume

by

50%

if

safe

input

levels

are

exceeded.

This

is

automatically

reset

once

the

input

level

is

reduced.

This

guards

against

most

types

of

potential

damage,

however,

any

speaker

may

be

•

damaged

if

the

amplifier

or

receiver

in

use

fails.

This

type

of

damage

is

not

covered

under

the

terms

of

your

warranty.

Distance

Between

Speakers.

In

average

-sized

listening

rooms,

you

get

the

best

stereo

sound

with

the

left

and

right

cube

speakers

placed

6

to

12

feel

apart

(approximately

1.8-3.6

m).

However,

you

can

still

get

excellent

sound

with

the

speakers

as

close

as

3

feet

(approximately

1

m)

or

as

far

apart

as

15

feel

(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.
