LOFT50/LOFT40/LOFT30 – LEFT AND RIGHT CHANNELS

For the best results, place the speakers 6 – 10 feet (1.8m – 3m) apart. Angling the speakers toward the listening

position can improve the stereo imaging. The speakers will produce the most accurate stereo soundstage when the

angle between the listener and the speakers is between 40 and 60 degrees.

6 – 10 ft

(1.8m – 3m)

40° – 60°

>20 in

(>51cm)

Generally, bass output will increase as the speaker is moved closer to a wall or corner.

For the best performance, we recommend that you place the speakers at least 5" (130mm) away from the wall behind it to

allow proper operation of the rear-panel mounted bass reex port, and at least 20 inches (51cm) away from the side walls.

• Position LOFT40 and LOFT30 bookshelf speakers so that their tweeters are approximately at ear level.

NOTE: LOFT50, LOFT40 and LOFT30 speakers are not magnetically shielded, and can cause picture distortion or

discoloration if they are placed too close to a CRT TV. If picture distortion/discoloration occurs, move the speakers

away from the TV until the distortion/discoloration disappears.

LOFT20

You should place the LOFT20 center speaker directly above or below the center of your TV screen. The speaker’s

tweeter should be no more than 2 feet (61cm) above or below the tweeters of the front left and front right speakers. If

your TV set is deep enough, you can set the center speaker on top of the TV, with the speaker’s front edge even with

the TV’s front edge.

NOTE: The LOFT20 is magnetically shielded, so you can place it next to a CRT TV without causing picture distortion/

discoloration.

LOFT40/LOFT30 – SURROUND CHANNELS (5.1-CHANNEL SYSTEM)

When you use LOFT40 or LOFT30 speakers as surround-channel speakers in a 5.1-channel system, place them

slightly behind the listening position, facing each other. Ideally, they should be 3 – 4 feet (0.9m – 1.2m) above the floor.

An alternate location would be on a wall behind the listening position, facing forward. The surround speakers should

not call attention to themselves while they’re playing. Experiment with their placement until you hear a diffuse, ambient

sound accompanying the sounds that you hear from the front left, front right and center speakers.

When you use LOFT40 or LOFT30 speakers as surround-channel speakers in a 7.1-channel system, place the

surround side speakers directly to the sides of the listening position, at least 3 – 4 feet (0.9m – 1.2m) above the floor.

Place the surround back speakers on the wall behind the listening position, also at least 3 – 4 feet (0.9m – 1.2m) above

the floor and 3 – 6 feet (0.9m – 1.8m) apart.

COnneCTiOns

CAUTION: Make sure that all of the system’s electrical components are turned OFF (and preferably

unplugged from their AC outlets) before making any connections.

Speakers and amplifiers have corresponding positive and negative (“+” and “–”) connectors. All LOFT series speakers

have connectors that are marked “+” and “–” on the terminal-cup assembly. Additionally, the “+” connectors have red

markings, while the “–” connectors have black markings.

To ensure proper polarity, connect each “+” connector on the back of the amplifier or receiver to the respective “+”

(red) connector on each speaker. Connect the “–” connectors in a similar way. Do not reverse polarities (i.e., “+” to “–”

or “–” to “+”) when making connections. Doing so will cause poor stereo imaging and diminished bass performance.

IMPORTANT: Make sure the “+” and “–” wires or connectors do not touch each other or the other terminal.

Touching wires can cause a short circuit that can damage your receiver or amplifier.

The LOFT series speakers’ connectors can accept a variety of wire connector types: bare wire, pin connectors, spade

connectors and banana connectors.
