1. Introduction
Welcome to the AE1 Classic monitor. Perhaps more than any other
professional audio product, monitors are sensitive to installation so please
take a little time to read this manual and to follow, as far as practical, the
installation guidelines it contains. Careful installation will help ensure that
your monitors perform optimally.
Following this introduction, the Manual is divided into sections covering
installation, positioning, connection, listening, specifications, and warranty
information. We recommend that you read at least the first four of these
sections carefully before installing and using your AE1 Classics.
The AE1 Classic is a relatively delicate precision engineered product that can
be damaged by inappropriate handling. Please take care when unpacking or
moving the monitors not to touch either of the drivers. Damage to a driver
will at best degrade performance and at worst result in complete failure.
The packaging should be retained for future use.
2. Installation
AE1 Classics are intended to be used mounted either on a mixing-desk
meter-bridge or preferably on speaker floor-stands relatively clear of room
boundaries. Alternative, near-wall, mounting arrangements such as wall
brackets are possible although these may result in less accurate performance.
If brackets are to be used they should be as rigid as possible and firmly
attached to brick-built walls.
The construction style, rigidity and dimensions of the floor-stands are of
critical significance to the performance of the AE1 Classic. Stands should
broadly follow the specification below. Your retailer or distributor will be able
to offer advice.

3. Positioning
The position of monitors within the studio
room is likely to have more influence over their
performance than any other aspect of their
installation. It is worth spending some time
experimenting both with the finer points of
monitor positioning, as well as the larger scale
issues of room layout.
If you are already familiar with the acoustic
characteristics of your studio room, and the way
speakers perform in it, you may already have a
good feel for where to position your AE1 Classics.
However, installing any new component provides
a good opportunity to review an existing set-up
and perhaps make improvements.
The position requirements for a pair of AE1 Classics
installed in a typically sized and equipped studio
room, illustrated in Diagram One, are as follows:
•
Stood upright, tweeters uppermost.
•
Between 0.5 and 1.5 metres from the rear wall.
•
1.0 minimum metres from side walls.
•
Between 2.0 and 3.0 metres apart.
•
Clear of corners.
•
Angled inward towards the primary monitoring
position.
Don't worry if, thanks to the architecture or layout
of your room, it is not practical to follow each
requirement exactly. The most important thing is
to experiment with the different options that are
practical and find the one that works best.
Wherever your AE1 Classics are positioned it
is important that each of the pair is located
in a similar acoustic environment (different
environments would be, say, a curtained area and
a solid wall). The acoustic character of the side
walls of the room in the area where the main
reflection between speakers and listening position
will occur should also be similar.
