• Definion 5 – High End Floor Speakers
Unpacking and setup
Unpacking
• Carefully open the box, remove the EPE foam half shell
and carefully lift the speaker out of the box without
reaching into the diaphragms.
• Possibly you may notice that the front plate of the
speaker caves in slightly if firm pressure is applied.
This is intentional: In order to decouple the front plate
from the housing resonances, it has been installed in
floating position.

Setup
Note
Our website contains comprehensive notes for
correct setup.
• Select a stable, level base.
• Make sure that the environment is clean and free from
dust.
• Avoid placing the unit close to sources of heat or in
direct sunlight.
• Arrange the connector cables so that they do not pose
a trip hazard.
• Do not place any heavy objects on the cables or the
speakers.
• Make sure that the speaker has a stable position to
prevent vibrations.

To exploit the full sound potential:
• If possible, position the speakers in the room so that
they are standing free. Ideally, the distance to the back
wall should be 0.5 m. If you have the choice, place the
speakers up against the long side of the room wall to
minimise the influence of reflections.
• Set up the speakers so that the listening position and
the two speakers form an equilateral or at least isosce-
les triangle.
• When you set up the speakers, make sure that there
are at least 2 m of distance between the speakers and
the listener.
• Turn the two speakers slightly towards the listening
position (approx. 10 degrees). The respective outside
of the speaker provides orientation: if it is positioned
90 degrees to the back wall, the angle is correct.
These notes are a recommendation. Depending on the
room layout and listening situation, it may be worth trying
out various setups.
The speaker performance will of course benefit from the
quality level of the components connected and the acces-
sories used.
