Positioning
the speaker
When positioning the speaker kindly
note, that the acoustical center point is
located between the drivers and not at
the middle of the tweeter level as with
traditional designs. The optimum
listening height is therefore found by
placing the acoustical center point at the
ear level. Normally speakers are placed
on 60 or 70 cm stands

Positioning
the speaker
The speakers should be turned sligthtly
towards the listening position. Please
note that we do not recommend to aim
speakers directly towards the listener,
but slighty outside the shoulder area, as
indicated in the picture.
The final positioning and identical aim of
the speaker depend on the room
boundaries and naturally also personal
taste. Aiming speakers more directly
towards the listening position increases
the amount of highest treble and vice
versa.
If the speakers need to placed close to
the walls, it is recommended to aim the
speakers slightly inward toward the
listening seat, but still not directly at the
listener.
60 -70 cm
For bi-wiring purposes argons are
equipped with two pairs of binding
posts (top and middle) Depending
on the market area the speakers
can be delivered with or without
the lintel attached. In case the two
pairs of binding posts are attached
with lintel (single wiring) and you
want to bi-wire the lintels can be
removed as follows:
1.
Place a rod through the binding
post hole
Turn counter-clockwise couple
2.
of turns to loosen the binding
post

3.
