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
acoustical center point
Single/ bi-wiring
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
Remove the lintel
3.
Tighten the binding post by
4. turning them clockwise
