Warning: If an amplifier is over-driven, the resulting distortion is actually many times greater than its rated power. Over-driven amplifier distortion is called "Clipping", easily identified by its fuzzy, distorted sound, and can damage any speaker. The volume control of most amplifiers and receivers is a logarithmic type, which means that full power may be reached with the volume control set at as little as the halfway point. Operating the loudness, treble, or bass controls increases power output well beyond rated levels. The warranty on your speakers is therefore void if the voice coils are burned or damaged as a result of overpowering or clipping. • CABINET CARE Great care and craftsmanship have gone into the construction and finish of the cabinet. Periodically use a soft, dry cloth to remove dust or fingerprints. Do not use paper towel or other abrasive materials as it may damage the finish. NOTE: Please retain the carton and packing material for the athena TECHNOLOGIES® speakers to protect them in the event of a move or if they need to be shipped to a service center. Product received damaged by a service center that has been shipped by the end user in other than the original packaging will be repaired, refurbished and properly packaged for return shipment at the end user's expense. • SPEAKER PLACEMENT Front Speaker Placement AS-B1, AS-B2, AS-F1, AS-F2 For best stereo imaging, the left and right speakers should be the same distance from their respective side walls. If the distance from one speaker to the listener is very different from the other it can affect the soundstage or stereo imaging. Therefore, the ideal position is having the speakers equidistant to the listener. A general guideline for speaker placement is to set up the space between speaker and listener at approximately 1-1/2 times the distance between the speakers. For example, if the speakers are placed a minimum of 6-feet (1.8m) apart (the absolute minimum), the best seating position would be 9-feet (2.4m) away audition series owners manual Center Channel placement AS-C1 A center channel can be expected to reproduce as much as 60% of a movie's soundtrack, most of which is dialogue. In order to maintain the effect of voices emanating from the actor's mouth, the AS-C1 should be centrally located between the left and right main channels and placed above or below the television. Be sure that the AS-C1's front baffle is flush with the front face of the television or cabinet to maximize dispersion. Surround Speaker placement AS-B1, AS-B2, AS-F1, AS-F2 The surround speakers can be positioned in a variety of locations. The most popular places used for surround speaker placement are the following: Side walls: To maximize the ambient field for side wall mounting, position the speakers adjacent to and slightly behind the primary listening area at a height of approximately 6 feet. Rear walls: To maximize the ambient field for rear wall mounting, position the speakers so they flank the mai...
