The room that you choose to use as your pri-
mary listening room will add its on “sonic signa-
ture” to the sound of your music system. In
selecting a room and speaker position, it is
important to remember the effect of furnishings,
materials, and surfaces, and how room dimen-
sions affect your speakers’ performance.
Experimentation in speaker placement is neces-
sary to choose the best arrangement for your
optimum musical experience.
If you are setting the NX-DECO5 speakers on a
table top, you can use the supplied self-adhe-
sive rubber feet to eliminate vibration, buzzing or
possible finish scratching.
If you want to mount the NX-DECO5 speakers to
a wall you can use the

˝ - 20 female inserts on
the rear of each enclosure mated to an after-
market wall bracket.
DISTANCE BETWEEN
EACH SPEAKER
This part will require some experimentation and is
somewhat dependent on the size of the listening
area. However, as a general rule, the best
results are usually attained when the speakers
are from 6 to 12 feet apart. In larger rooms,
greater distance between the speakers is possi-
ble but may require angling in of the speakers
for the maximum stereo effect. Don’t forget to
choose a location close enough to an AC outlet
to connect the main speaker.
The Optimum
Listening Position
Note: The distance between yourself and the
point directly between the speakers is slightly
(roughly 20%) greater than the distance
between the two speakers.
POSITIONING YOUR
NX-DECO5 SPEAKERS
SETUP AND CONNECTIONS (Fig. 6)
5
mm stereo audio cable.
If you have a TV, DVD Player, or CD Player
with TOSlink optical output, you can connect
it to the NX-DECO5 using a TOSlink Fiber
Optic cable (not supplied). Note, the NX-
DECO5 is compatible with TOSlink PCM
Audio streaming.
If you have a powered subwoofer you want to
use, you can connect it to the NX-DECO5
main (powered) speaker Sub Out connector
using an RCA to RCA cable (not supplied) as
shown.
Once all input/output connections have been
made and the two speakers are connected to
each other connect the AC power cord to the
master (powered) speaker AC power connec-
tor and a nearby AC outlet as shown.
After you choose the location for your NX-
DECO5 speakers you need to connect the
master (powered) speaker to the slave (pas-
sive) speaker as shown using the 2-conductor
4 meter long speaker wire that was supplied
with the system. Be certain to maintain proper
polarity between the two units. Connect the
copper color wire to the (+) connections of
each speaker and the silver wire to the (-) con-
nections to insure good bass and imaging per-
formance. If you want to place the speakers
farther apart than 4 meters, you can extend
them up to 30 meters without sound degrada-
tion using your own 16 gauge 2-conductor
stranded copper wire.
If you intend to use an audio source such as a
MP3 player or CD player you can connect it to
the line input using the supplied 3.5 mm to 3.5
