IMPORTANT NOTICE

All new speakers require a minimum of 60 hours break-in-time before they begin to
sound the way they are supposed to. A speaker's performance improves significantly once
broken in. It is critical that you have at least 60 hours on your speakers before you evaluate
them. Don't worry if your speakers do not sound perfect the first time you play them. This is
normal until they are broken in. If you are having difficulty getting enough hours on your
speakers and your 30 day return privilege is getting near, call us. We will work with you.
Please give us the courtesy of breaking the speakers in before you determine they don't
sound right.

Many of our customers break their speakers in by:

3

A) Leaving them on at moderate listening levels when they are not home.
B) Leaving them on at moderate listening levels while they sleep.
C) Running pink noise through them.

These methods are not convenient for everyone and we understand this. But please
know that you are not giving yourself, your speakers or us a fair chance if you do not break
them in before critical evaluation.

THANK YOU!

READ FIRST! QUICK SETUP

p

The flexibility of the Titan II LE allows it to be easily and quickly installed in virtually any
audio system. By reading the following steps and referring to the diagrams in the owner’s
manual, you’ll have your Titan II LE(s) up and running in no time.

1) Determine if you will need to use the Speaker Level Converters (two supplied). If your receiver,

pre-amp or processor (source) has RCA subwoofer output(s) or pre-out, main-in, you will NOT
use the Speaker Level Converters.

2) If you will be using the Speaker Level Converters, you will use both converters, connect as

shown in the Titan II LE hookup section diagrams for using a receiver. Connect the Speaker
Level Converters to the Titan II LE Inputs. Hook up your speaker cable from the same output
terminals you are using for your main speakers. Connect the speaker cable and the Speaker
Level Converters. Connect the same polarity as your main speakers, red to red, black to black.
Skip the following step and continue to Turn-On.

3) If you are using direct RCA connections, you may have several hook-up options. Try the simplest

first. If your source has subwoofer outputs try that first. Use a shielded RCA cable of sufficient
length to connect the subwoofer output of your receiver/processor directly to the Theater input on
the Titan II LE. Turn both crossover controls to 250Hz.
If you don’t have sub outputs you will use the pre-outs as shown in the Titan II LE hookup
section page 13 or 14. If you only have one set of pre-outs you will need to use a Y Adapter and
RCA interconnect or jumper to connect to the main amp inputs.
If you are using the optional Passive High-Pass Filters they insert into the main amp inputs (see
below).

Turn-On

4

-Turn volume control (Input Level) on the Titan II LE(s) all the way down set both crossover
controls (Lowpass Filters A & B) to about 100Hz, (250Hz if using Theater input).

-Turn volume control on source all the way down.

-Plug in and switch on the Titan II LE(s). There will be a slight thump, this is normal.

-Play some music with a consistent, clear bass line at a moderate level.

-Turn the Titan II LE volume level up slowly until it just fills in the bottom range.

-NOW, sit back and relax with some good music while reading the manual which will help you
fine-tune the Titan II LE using level, crossover frequency, placement and phasing.

The Titan II LE Powered Subwoofer

Thank you for your order and congratulations on becoming the owner of an ACI speaker
system. The Titan II LE powered subwoofer(s) will provide you with many years of listening
pleasure!

The Titan II LE was designed to please music lovers who don’t want to fashion their habitats
around large, obtrusive boxes. Attractive and reasonably sized, the Titan II LE takes up little space
and there are many options for room placement including “hidden” placements. The attractive
cabinets are excellent as a small end table or plant stand. Hookup to any music system is easy!
The Titan II LE is a fantastic addition to your video system as well. The Titan II LE will allow you to
“feel” the impact and power of The Matrix, Blade, Hunt for Red October, Last Action Hero, The
Fugitive, etc, etc. We know you will enjoy many years of satisfaction with your Titan II LE(s)!

The Titan II LE has plenty of power to move a lot of air. The downfiring driver reproduces all
low organ pedals, symphonic bass drums, tympani, video special effects and synthesizers with
stunning realism. Equally important, the Titan II LE does a fine job with the subtle but musically
critical qualities of difficult instruments such as piano and string bass.

The enclosure is constructed of ¾” non-resonant high-density fiberboard with extensive
internal bracing. Solid hardwood panels coated with multiple layers of clear or black lacquer grace
the exterior. The specially developed ACI 12” driver has extremely long excursion and a balanced
cone-motor system supported by a heavy cast-frame that operates with very low distortion. A
specially developed rubber surround precisely terminates the stiffened fiber cone.

Rec. RMS Power: Built in amp delivers 250 watts RMS < .5% THD distortion.

Performance

The electronics of the Titan II LE performs the following functions:

• Gain is controlled at the INPUT LEVEL with a precision Alps pot. This also acts as the volume

control for the Titan II LE. Once the volume is set, your volume is controlled by your main
system.

• Two additional LOWPASS FILTERS A&B, precision Alps pots, allows the user to select any

crossover frequency from 35 to 250Hz. These two separate 12db/oct filters provide exceptional
control for interfacing the Titan II LE in a music system.

• The Titan II LE has 0-180 degree PHASE CONTROL: experiment with the phase control.

Combined with the input level and lowpass filters A&B switches, the phase switch gives you
absolute control over the integration of the Titan II LE in your system. Note: The easiest way to

adjust phase is to tune it for maximum output. Since phase is dependent on positioning
of the sub relative to the main speakers, adjust phase after you have selected your final
placement. The correct phase yields the best overall integration between the main
speakers and the Titan II LE.

• The Titan II LE has stereo highpass outputs. These outputs are actively filtered to rolloff at

12db/octave at 100Hz. You may use these outputs to protect your main speakers from low
frequencies. Alternately, you can use the optional passive plug-in high pass filters available from
ACI or highpass filtering provided by your Receiver or Processor.

• A limiter and current sensing feedback circuitry protect the driver from being overdriven and

reduce distortion.

• The discreet outputs of the amplifier deliver over 250watts RMS to the woofer with extremely low

distortion.

• A temperature switch monitors the output devices. In the event of excess heat the switch will

shut down the circuitry to prevent damage. Once the heat sinks cool the power will be restored.
Because the electronics have been designed and ”tuned” to the woofer and cabinet, the Titan II
LE offers incredible performance in a relatively small cabinet.

Many subwoofers add unacceptable colorations and actually degrade the performance of
otherwise fine speakers. The Titan II LE is adaptable for use with virtually any satellite, electrostatic
or ribbon speaker. If you are satisfied with your present speakers but just want more bass power
and extension, the Titan II LE(s) may be the perfect answer. If you own speakers from
manufacturers such as B&W, KEF, Apogee, Quad, Thiel, Magnaplaner, Spica, Celestion, Acoustat,
Acoustic Energy, Martin Logan, Wilson, etc., you’ll find your listening pleasure greatly enhanced with
the Titan II LE subwoofers.

Should you have more than one Titan II LE?

A single Titan II LE provides a major and cost-effective improvement for most people in most rooms
with most music. However, there are a number of reasons to consider more than one Titan II LE.

-Stereo subwoofers: This is more important if the main speakers used need a rather high
crossover frequency. Some very careful listeners may want stereo subwoofers with a crossover as
low as 85Hz while many others might be more than happy with a single subwoofer crossed over
above 120Hz. Many of the popular 3 piece satellite subwoofer systems in the $500-$1000 range

have crossovers above 160Hz! Some listeners can hear the problems immediately while many
people never notice the problem.

-Increase output levels and lower distortion: Some people with large rooms and/or a need for
higher than average output levels will want to use more than one Titan II LE. For large spaces
and/or very high volume requirements any number of Titan II LEs can be added to a system. The
Titan II LE adds bass power and extension, it takes nothing away from the main system.

-Get smoother in-room response than with a single subwoofer: In some situations, loading the
bass into the room from two or more points can give a better balanced bass throughout the room.

-A third Titan II LE may be used for the rear surround channels: The Dolby
bass roll-off in the rear channels…but Dolby Digital recordings have full-range bass content in the
rear channels. Some film lovers feel that having a subwoofer for the rear channel improves impact
and realism with such films.

standard calls for a

Installation of the Titan II LE(s) in your system:

Placement and Phasing:

-Your Titan II LE(s) is a powered subwoofer and will need to be plugged into your household

electrical. If you must use an extension cord, select one that is at least 16 gauge thick.

-Getting the optimum performance from your Titan II LE(s) is going to require some careful

listening. Keep in mind the sound you want. Using test instruments, test CDs, etc. can be helpful
but can also be fairly confusing. Low frequency room response testing is a complicated subject and
suffice it to say that inexpensive test equipment used without a lot of experience and understanding
can give very misleading results. We suggest making your final judgements based on how music
sounds to you.

◊ Placing the Titan II LE(s) near your main speakers is the easiest way to get a

good match. The ideal placement is often in a corner behind the main
speakers, (Diagram A). Placement between the main speakers can also work
well.

8

◊ Instead of moving a heavy subwoofer around the room to find the best

response there is a simple trick you can use. Place the Titan II LE where you
normally sit to listen. While playing either test tones or music with a steady
bass, walk around the room and listen for the deepest, tightest and smoothest
bass response. Move the Titan II LE to the place you heard the best bass.

◊ Placing the Titan II LE(s)close to a wall will increase bass output. Moving the

Titan II LE(s) into a corner will increase bass output even further. Use the
placement to fine-tune the bass your system produces.

◊ Placement of the Titan II LE(s) will often be determined by your room

configuration and furniture layout. Experienced audiophiles know that “fine­tuning” room placement can yield important gains in sound quality. Most
listeners will be more than happy with the results they get from the most
“convenient” placement. Very serious listeners will want to experiment with
various placements to really optimize the match to the main speakers.

◊ Correct phase of the subwoofer is dependent on the frequency response of

the main speakers and the placement of the subwoofer relative to the main
speakers. Correct phase will yield the highest output level at the crossover
frequency, (the fullest sound). You may have to re-adjust the crossover
frequency and output level.

Placement Diagrams:

Placement A is probably the best solution in most systems. The corner placement
provides the highest output level with the lowest distortion from the subwoofer.

Placement B can work very well. Moving the Titan II LE slightly forward of the main

will produce the greatest amount of bass.

Placement C can sound very good but it will probably require a fairly low crossover. It is
also possible to place the Titan II LE behind the listening position, (not shown). If the
Titan II LE is far enough behind the listening position and the crossover is low enough
you will get very good results.

Placement D, Stereo. We can use the distance between the Titan II LEs for fine-tuning. Having
two Titan II LEs right next to each other will yield the highest output level, but spacing them unequal
distances from the side walls will give the smoothest room response. The characteristics of your
room and your listening tastes will determine which is best for you.

Remember, it is what sounds best to you that counts. Position the speakers to give you the sound
you want in your room.

Hookup

The Titan II LE has three RCA, line-level inputs. Speaker Level Converters are also provided. The
rest of your system will determine the input(s) and adapters that you use. We have included some
layouts of the most common hookup variations. There are so many types of pre-amps, surround
sound receivers and processors that you may need to refer to your owner’s manual for specifics.

If your system does not have subwoofer or pre-amp (line-level) outputs you will need to use the

Speaker-Level Converters. Connect the Speaker Level Converters to the Titan II LE Inputs. Hook up your
speaker cable from the same output terminals you are using for your main speakers. Connect the speaker
cable and the Speaker Level Converters. Connect the same polarity as your main speakers, red to red,
black to black. The high input impedance of the Titan II LE will not use any power from your receiver or

amp.

Adjusting the Titan II LE(s):

Now that your Titan II LE(s) are all connected let’s get them playing! First, turn your main
system on and switch the Titan II LE(s) on.

What we want to do is sum the outputs of the main speakers with the subwoofer(s) for as
smooth a transition as possible. The result will be an extended bass response. Many people
actually prefer an exaggerated, overly powerful bass. You can easily accomplish this by setting the
subwoofer level at a higher than normal level.

For those who want the most accurate and natural bass:

-If you are using a subwoofer output to Theater in connection you will use the bass management
features of your receiver or processor. Refer to your owner's manual for details. In this mode you will
set the Titan II LE crossover frequency dials to 250Hz. Adjust phase to give the highest output level.

16

For connections other than Theater direct:

-The low-frequency response of your main speakers must be considered. Crossover frequency
should be set as low as possible. Lower crossovers will allow the subwoofer to audibly “disappear”
and placement is less critical. The deeper your main speakers go, the easier it will be to get a
seamless match. If your main speakers are a ported (vented) design, you will probably get best

results with the vent plugged. A cloth or towel will work fine. Just stuff it so that you no longer get
air pressure coming from the vent when the speaker is playing.

-Start with the Titan II LE level turned down and both crossover frequencies set to 35Hz. Play music
with some solid and deep bass. It’s a lot easier to start out with music that has a fairly constant bass.
Turn the level up until the low bass fills in naturally. You are looking for bass that goes deeper, not
necessarily louder. Experiment with moving the crossover frequency dials upward. At first, move
both controls up an equal amount. Move them up until the bass is full, without any missing notes. In
some rooms and with some speakers, it may help to adjust crossover B higher in frequency than
crossover A. Adjust up or down until the subwoofer best matches the cutoff of your main speakers.
The most natural results will be with the lowest crossover point that doesn’t leave a “gap” in the
response.

Other System Considerations

If the rest of your system does not work properly or is not correctly connected you will not get the
best performance from your system. To eliminate problems we recommend the following:

I. Use the finest associated components you can afford. Turntable, cartridges, pre-

amps, amplifiers, (receivers) and cables all have profound impact on the sound of
your system. Accurate speakers let more detail through. You will hear more of the
beauty of the music, but flaws in your system and/or source material may be more
obvious. Any good audio system is made up of matched components. You wouldn’t
use bargain recap tires on a new Ferrari, and you shouldn’t use inferior components

17

with a high quality speaker. Your ACI Titan II LE(s) performs like subwoofers costing
far more. Keep this in mind when selecting the rest of your system.

II. Know your source material. People often blame their audio gear for poor recordings.

A great number of popular recordings are of inferior sound quality. Unfortunately this
applies to records, tapes and CDs. There are more good quality recordings available
now than just a few years ago, but poor recordings with rolled off low bass, harsh and
constricted mids and highs and little stereo monitor speakers that are grossly
inaccurate. Consider that some producers still mix recordings to sound best on
cheap table and car radios! This doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy these recordings, but
you should try a few of the best audiophile recordings just to see how terrific your
system can be when fed a good signal.

Avoiding Damage

Audio Concepts, Inc. speaker systems are designed for the purpose of accurate reproduction
of music in the home. We do our best to make our speakers rugged and reliable. We invested effort
in the Titan II LE to make it as indestructible as possible. We’re happy to say that after producing
and selling the classic Titan for years we’ve yet to have one blown driver returned! Of course there’s
always Murphy’s law! Under certain abusive conditions it may be possible to overdrive the Titan II
LE. This is possible with your receiver or pre-amp volume control way up with excessively high
distorted signal levels.

MORE IMPORTANTLY, as reliable as the Titan II LE has been designed, you still need to be
careful not to over-drive and damage your main speakers. So please read over the following causes
of speaker failure:

Remember, just because you added the power and bass response of the Titan II LE, your
main speakers won’t handle any more power than before.

You can protect your system by following a couple of very simple guidelines:

A) If it sounds at all distorted, turn it down. Distortion is a warning sign that should not be ignored.
B) Don’t use tone controls or equalizers if possible. IF you must use them, monitor the system
carefully.
C) Beware the party damage epidemic. Speakers are more often damaged during parties. All those
bodies soak up sound, requiring more output to sound as loud, bass and treble controls are
sometimes cranked up and nobody is listening for distortion.

In over twenty years of daily evaluation of all types of speakers on everything from ten to one
thousand watts with all kinds of music, we have never damaged a driver without hearing audible
distortion. If it sounds bad, turn it down, and you will never damage a speaker.

Speaker Break-in ****Important!!!

Allow at least 60 to 70 hours of playing time before your new ACI Titan II LE(s) will sound the best.
The adhesives and materials used in manufacturing must stretch and flex properly before a speaker
will sound its best. After break-in the bass will be tighter and go lower.

For quicker break-in:

-Play the Titan II LE(s) at medium-high volume while away from home. Use music with a lot
of low bass content. A CD player on repeat works fine.

Troubleshooting

Occasionally we get a call from someone who feels there is a problem with their ACI
speaker. At least a couple of times a year we will get a call or letter that goes something like this:
“Speaker not working properly, can’t get enough sound even with the volume turned way up.” The
problem may be different, but with this little information to go on it is almost impossible to trouble
shoot the problem “long distance”.

The following checklist may help:

1) Are all system hookups properly connected, no partial shorted wires, or reversed
connections, etc?

2) Did you try the rest of your system with other speakers to determine if the problem exists
with the speakers?

3) Please be realistic in your expectations. Our speakers offer excellent value, but we can’t
beat the laws of physics. For instance, a medium sized speaker such as the Sapphire
sounds excellent but will not play as loudly as a very large speaker.

IF for any reason you aren’t satisfied with the sound you’re getting from your speakers we
want to know about it. Make sure the speakers have had adequate break-in time. Before you
call or write, please try to narrow down the problem and eliminate other factors. We will need to
know:

18

◊ The size of your room

◊ Where you have the speakers placed

◊ What other equipment is in your system

◊ Have you tried other speakers (which ones, and did they eliminate the problem)

◊ Any other specific symptoms or information you can provide
