Installation
Speakers placement
The Electra loudspeakers have been
engineered to deliver the most faithful
sound reprodution, whether they are
used for music or home cinema. In
order to enhance their performance,
to guarantee a high quality of
listening, sound image and tone
balance, it is important to note the
following basic rules. The listening
area must be located at the summit
of an equilateral triangle whose
two other points of insertion are
determined by the position of each
speaker. Nevertheless it is possible
to modify these distances to find
an ideal compromise according
to the particular disposition of the
room
(fig. F) .
Each loudspeaker must be placed at
the same height and on the same
floor plan. The tweeter should be
at the same height as the listener’s
ear, when the listener is in his usual
listening area
(fig. G) .
Vertical or horizontal mounting
Unscrew the tweeter/midrange
aluminum plate and rotate it as
indicated
(fig. H) .
Medium / tweeter adjustment
To carry out adjustments, use the
switch level located on the front baffle
of the speaker as follows
(fig. I) .
Paint
If you wish, you can paint your
speaker to match your room. We
advise that you paint the grille
and the housing of the speaker
separately. For the frame: remove
the grille and place the paint
mask in position to protect the
drivers. For the grille: if necessary
remove the driver mask from the
grille before painting. You can put
this mask back into position after
drying if you wish.
