This booklet contains information on the Epic series loudspeaker range.
POWER REQUIREMENTS
Amplifiers with power outputs between those noted in the loudspeaker specifications
will generally be adequate, although more powerful amplifiers could be used if care is
taken to avoid over-driving the loudspeakers.
Always use the volume control with discretion, and reduce the level immediately should
the loudspeakers begin to distort.
Amplifiers capable of less than 20 Watts per channel output are best avoided because
they will restrict the dynamic range. Such amplifiers may also cause damage to the
loudspeakers if they are driven beyond their capability in an attempt to obtain high
volume levels.
The clipping distortion produced when an amplifier is driven beyond its normal output
capability can be very destructive. A powerful amplifier operating well inside its capability
will generally be less likely to damage your loudspeakers than a lower powered amplifier
operating beyond its capacity.
NOTE
Do not make or break loudspeaker connections to the amplifier when it is turned on.
POSITIONING
Epos loudspeakers are designed to be positioned as specified. Space should be left behind
the loudspeakers to allow proper operation of rear firing reflex ports and to ensure
establishment of good stereo image depth. Some experimentation may be necessary to
establish the ideal position within your listening room.
Begin by placing the loudspeakers about 20cm from the rear wall and allow at least 40cm
of space between each loudspeaker and the nearest side wall. Gradually move them out a
little at a time until you achieve the best balance between bass weight and definition.
All Epos Epic loudspeakers have been designed to produce a broad listening area.
However the optimum sound balance and stereo image will be enjoyed if your ear level,
when seated for listening, is approximately in line with the tweeter. So, if you can just see
the top of the speaker that will be fine. If however the ideal is not attainable or
convenient, listening beyond this range will also be enjoyable.
Remember - there is no absolute right or wrong. If it sounds good, it is good.
