HOME THEATER
Choice of speakers
The Chorus loudspeakers have been
engineered to work with stereo systems
as well as with home theater systems.
If you already own a pair of stereo
Chorus V loudspeakers and wish to
purchase a complete home theater
system, it is of the utmost importance
that you use the central and effect
loudspeakers of the same product
line : Chorus V. It is the sole possible
condition to bring to your system a
perfect tonal homogeneity and a
realistic and coherent reproduction
of tri-dimensional effects within the
listening room.
Central channel placement
Central channel speakers should
be placed close to the TV-screen to
obtain a proper placement and a
realistic reproduction of the dialog.
They could be placed below or above
the TV-screen if your TV-unit permits
(fig. F).
If a standart projection screen is used,
the central channel speaker must be
placed under the screen.
If an acoustically transparent
projection screen is used, the central
channel speaker can be placed
behind and at the bottom of the
screen (fig. G).
Effect channel speakers‘s place
The soundtrack mix for a film or music
encoded in multichannel format is
very complex and allows the listener
to benefit from a wide range of special
sound effects, which require the use of
effect channel speakers. In order to
obtain a realistic 3D soundstage, the
placement of the speakers is decisive,
even when confronted with a restrictive
disposition of the listening room.
For enhanced performances, the
following elements should be noted.
Avoid placing the effect speakers
too far from the listening area
otherwise the sound perception will be
altered. In order to obtain surround
effects, with great sound density we
advise you to place the speakers
against the sidewalls on each side of
the listening room (fig. H, I).
Bookshelf mounting (705 V, 706 V,
806 V)

embedded in the wall, guide it
through the wall mounted bracket’s
opening as indicated.
• If the loudspeaker cable is fixed
to the wall slide it under the wall
mounted bracket as indicated.
• Guide the loudspeaker cable
through the Polyfix plate as indicated.

Accessories
The Chorus 700 V floorstanding
loudspeaker systems include four
decoupling
spikes (cones) and
should be screwed, if necessary,
into the four metal inserts situated
on the base of the loudspeaker.
These spikes ensure a better stability
for floorstanding speakers, particularly
if the floor is not perfectly flat and
smooth. The enclosed spikes are
adjustable in height. After having
adjusted the height of the spikes, don’t
forget to lock them with the locknut.
The Chorus 800 V include four
decoupling spikes (cones). The spikes
are adjustable in height with the
supplied key. This key can be reserved
for future use in a small housing
behind the grille after installation and
optimization.
