OWNER'S MANUAL 2. There are several distances to consider when placing your speakers: X = Listener distance from speaker Y = Speaker distance from rear wall Z = Speaker distance from each other S = Speaker distance from side wall *By decreasing distance "Y" you will increase bass response. By increasing that distance you will experience less bass. Your speakers will generally sound best when placed close to the back wall. Also, the front baffles should be at least 2" forward of any obstructions, such as cabinets. *Distance "Z" should be at least 4', while 6' to 8' is optimum in most listening rooms. In a "live" room (lots of hard surfaces, not too many curtains, cushions or sound absorbing materials), SDA speakers often sound best placed close together. Remember, experiment! *Distance "X" should be greater than or equal to distance "Z." *Distance "S" should be AT LEAST 3'. Placement closer to sidewalls will interfere with three-dimensional imaging. "If you can absorb the sidewall reflection, closer placements the wall may be possible. Y S Z S Rubber Feet and Adjustable Floor Spikes Rubber feet come installed on the spike. In order to expose the spike, simply pull the rubber feet off. Adjusting the Floor Spikes The floor spikes can be adjusted from the top of the Legend SDA Pro floor-standing loudspeakers and require an Allen wrench. Note: If the speaker is stable on the floor, no adjustment is necessary. If the speaker is unstable, follow these steps: 1. The speaker will be inclined to settle on three of the four spikes leaving one spike slightly off the floor. 2. Determine which spike needs to be adjusted. 3. Use the included Allen wrench to adjust the spike height. Turn clockwise to lower the spike and counterclockwise to raise it. 4. As the spike contacts the floor, it will become more difficult to turn. At that point the speaker should be stabilized. X 1. 7
