Positioning

The 500 Series are exible speakers with regard to positioning and are designed to work well

in most typical room layouts. There are however some basic guidelines that should be

followed (where possible) for optimum performance.

The tweeters (smaller, high frequency drive units) should ideally be at ear level when the

listener is seated and for serious listening the grilles are best removed, where practical.

Rigid support is necessary for speakers to deliver their optimum dynamic response and

detail; the AE509's come supplied with special aluminium bars and spiked feet for this

purpose. The AE500's should ideally be used with Acoustic Energy Reference Stands or

similar, high-quality support. Alternatively a solid surface such as a sturdy unit should prove

adequate, though the use of mounting tack or specialist feet is recommended to decouple

the speakers from the surface in this instance.

Room positioning: The 500 Series speakers are quite "room-friendly" and should be able to be

placed where most convenient with minimal detriment to sound.

Where possible a minimum of 12" (30cm) should be allowed between the speakers and

boundary walls; closer will increase bass response at the expense of timing and quality.

Ideally the speakers will work best between 12-24" (30-60cm) from walls where the

soundstage will open up and a more neutral balance will be achieved. If lacking bass,

experiment moving the speakers closer to the rear wall until an optimal balance is found.

Example of typical in-room

positioning:

1. Ideally an equilateral

triangle will be formed

between the seated listening

postion and the speakers.

2. Speakers usually perform

better toed-in slightly, so the

listener's eyeline looks down

the inside edge of the

cabinets; this minimises wall

re ections and focuses the

sound more at the listener. If

the sound is too "sharp" in this

position the speakers can be

angled outwards more toward

straight-ahead to lessen focus.

3. Placement too near side

walls or corners should be

avoided if possible, this will

boost bass, causing "boom".

Side walls also add midrange

re ections, a ecting balance

and soundstaging.

4. All rooms have a large e ect

on sound, experimentation is

the best way to nd a sound

that ts your personal taste.
