With the Xi SYSTEM

system based on the Spatially Coherent Source (SCS) principles
coming from our high end ARTIS range of speakers.
With these 2-way speakers combined with a Xi active sub-
woofer, you can get a very high quality system, either in a 2.1
configuration (standard stereo) or in a 5.1 configuration (5
channels system) or 6.1 or 7.2…

Positionning of Xi SYSTEM
®
6
Xi speakers have all the same technical features; they can be used
on any channel. All the speakers are magnetically shielded to
prevent interference with the image of your television set; they
can thus be placed near any screen.
Front left and right speakers must be directed towards the lis-
tening area and placed on either side of the screen with at
least a distance of 7 ft and 16 ft (2 and 5 m) between the 2
speakers.
The centre satellite should be placed as close as possible to the
screen: on the top, below, or directly on your television set.
Place the satellite at the vertical of the screen for a perfect
cohesion and precision between dialogues and picture.
Surround speakers should be placed against the side walls, at
listening height or higher if possible and slightly behind the
listening area.
The subwoofer should be placed in the front listening area.
To get the best result, it is always necessary to carry out tests
according to the acoustics of the room. To prevent interference
with the screen of your television set, place the subwoofer at
least 2 ft (0,6m) of your television set.
