Advanced Set-Up Information-Continued
Depending on décor considerations you may wish to position your Nucleus Reference3’s within a just a few
inches of the wall behind them, but the sound will be more "open" when the speakers are 12 to 36 inches out
into the room. The Nucleus Reference3’s can fire straight ahead, OR angled in, towards the listening position.
Stereo imaging will be more specific when angled in, and upper bass will be more prominent and "faster
sounding.
Toe In Placement
Straight Ahead Placement
Tilt Back Position
Finally, the Nucleus Reference3’s profile is angled back to project the sound up, but
you may need to adjust the tilt back angle (with the front and rear cones) to ensure
the tweeters are aimed at the seated listeners’ ears. Once the cones are properly
adjusted, make sure the speakers aren’t "rocking" on three of the four cones, and
then go ahead and firmly tighten the nuts to lock the cones in place.
Please note:
the Nucleus Reference3 isn’t magnetically shielded so avoid placing it
next to a CRT-type televion (anything more than 12 inches will be OK).
