'free-space'
configuration
(behind a projection
screen or on a stand)
If you want to place Proteus behind a sonically transparent screen
and/or on stands, then you should use the ‘free space’ input to
the crossover.
Connect the positive terminal marked ‘free space’ to ensure you
optimise the performance of your system. This engages a filter
that compensates for the decrease in low frequency output that is
generated by the loudspeaker’s proximity to room boundaries
and ensures optimum performance for this type of installation.
For placement behind a transparent screen, it will be acoustically
optimal if the Proteus midrange drive unit is located at
approximately the same height as the midrange drive units of
your main left and right loudspeakers.
Proteus includes a Plinth Tilt Adjustment (see page 9 for details)
that allows you to tilt the loudspeaker towards your listening
position.
stereo installation
A pair of Proteus loudspeakers can be used in a stereo installation.
We would recommend that you adjust the angle of your Proteus’ to
reduce the protrusion of the rear foot to it’s minimum position such
that the acoustic output is directed towards the seated audience.
We would also recommend that the ‘floor’ connection (see page 9)
is selected to provide an even tonal balance with respect to the
room boundaries.
