AEGIS two manual

Congratulations on choosing the Acoustic
Energy AEGIS TWO — a powerful floorstanding
two-way loudspeaker which features metal
diaphragm technology and is capable of out-
standing performance. Please take a few
moments to read this manual. The advice it
contains will enable you to get the very best
performance out of your Acoustic Energy loud-
speakers.
The AEGIS TWO utilises metal cone mid-bass drive
unit technology, proven in the AE Reference series. The
rigid anodised alloy cone ensures pure piston action
and also acts as a heat sink for the bonded voice coil.
These features provide exceptional clarity, transparen-
cy dynamics and power handling.
The tweeter — or treble driver — is a high-quality silk
fabric dome unit integrating smoothly with the rest of
the system. Both drive units are fully magnetically
shielded so that the speakers can be used in close prox-
imity to a TV screen or monitor for AV applications.
The AEGIS TWO loudspeaker uses quality OFC internal
wiring which enhances detail and transparency. For
exceptional results use AE UPOCC speaker cable which
is available from AE dealers and distributors.

Introduction
Please unpack your AEGIS TWOs carefully. Having
inverted the speaker, screw the high tensile 8mm floor
spikes into the base of the cabinet. These will guaran-
tee optimum coupling to the floor surface particularly
in carpeted rooms. The spikes will penetrate the
carpet weave and couple the speaker firmly to the
floor structure below.
The speaker is now ready for installation. Any final
adjustment to the spikes to eliminate cabinet wobble
can now be made. The lock nuts should be tightened
when the final adjustmenst to cabinet poisition and
alignment have been made
Closeness to room boundaries has a major impact on
the low frequency performance. The speakers should
be kept away from corners (which will produce
booming). The speakers can be positioned fairly close
to a back or side wall but should not be the same
distance off the ground as from the rear or side wall.
Experiment with the best position to achieve a full, yet
clean bass response. Trust your judgement and ears.
For serious listening the grilles are best removed.
For best stereo imaging the speakers should be as far
apart as they are from the listening position.
