Set-Up & Configuration
Unit Placement
The Maestro M2e can be placed almost anywhere in your
audio equipment stack as it only generates a small amount
of heat during operation. It is good practice to ensure that
the equipment location is properly ventilated and to make
certain not to block the ventilation slots on any other
component. Avoid placing Maestro M2e directly over large
power amplifiers. Unless they are made by AudioControl,
some amplifiers can get pretty hot and have big power
transformers that can induce hum into other audio com-
ponents like Maestro M2e. Make certain that there is an
unobstructed line-of-sight between the location where the
remote controller sits and the Maestro M2e front panel.
Speaker Considerations and Placement
Choosing the right speakers and putting them in the cor-
rect positions is crucial to getting the most out of a home
theater system. For the full THX surround EX playback
experience, we recommend two speakers placed behind
you. Once you have decided on the speakers you are using,
make certain the Maestro M2e is configured to match your
speakers.
Front LCR (Left, Center, Right) Speakers
To present the most realistic soundstage, all three of the
front speakers must be tonally balanced. Ideally, these
speakers should be identical models. This ensures that the
sound doesn’t change as it pans across the screen. Place
the speakers at the seated ear level. Whenever possible, the
three front speakers should also be placed at the same hori-
zontal level for best imaging.
