Triangle Voce Ez - Manuel (Page 22)

ESPRIT Ez 22
A typical home cinema installation includes:
1. Two main speakers,left and right (Antal Ez / Gaïa Ez)
2. A centre speaker (Voce Ez)
3. One or several subwoofers
4. Surround speakers (Comete Ez / Titus Ez / Heyda Ez)
• 5:1 signal: 2 rear speakers
• 6:1 signal: 3 rear speakers
• 7:1 signal: 4 rear speakers
To place the main speakers in the best position, follow the same rules as for a stereo ins-
tallation (see previous paragraph on stereo positioning).
• The centre speaker should be placed along the line formed by the two main speakers.
• For home cinema setups a subwoofer is highly recommended in order to reproduce the
special bass effects channel featured on supports such as DVD audio or video. The positio-
ning of the subwoofer is not critical if you select a crossover frequency below 80Hz. Above
this frequency, it is better to move the subwoofer closer to the main speakers. The best
position being in between the two main speakers. Ensure that it is not placed in the corner
of the room to avoid creating unpleasant resonances.
• We recommend that you place the rear speakers at between 1.5 and 2 m of height. Their
role is to reproduce surround sound; the listener should not be able to locate them and
they should not be placed at ear level. TRIANGLE’s rear speakers are supplied with special
wall mount accessories. Ensure that you take into account the weight of the speaker when
fixing it onto the wall. You will find further instructions for configuring your installation in
your A/V amplifier owner’s manual.
Positioning for Home Cinema
When positioning your loudspeakers, apply the following rules:
• Avoid rooms with too much reverberation, such as tiled rooms without carpets or curtains.
• Your listening position should not be too close to the loudspeakers, leave a minimum of
2m.
• The distance between the speakers should be a minimum of 2 m for a good stereo effect.
• If possible, place the speakers so that sound is «diffused» lengthwise within the room.
• Avoid placing the speaker in corners; they should be at least 40 cm away from the back wall
and at least 50cm from the sidewalls. Generally, a position close to the rear wall increases
the response in the low frequencies (and reduces the imaging) and contrariwise, a position
far from the back wall reproduces a wide and deep sound image.
Carry out several test positions to find the best room set-up.
