4. Quick Product Overview The S-150P THX is a bi-amplified THX certified reference monitor . The S-150P features a 180-watt x 2 amplifier with improv es on the standard S-150 THX in sound quality, wider dynamic range and higher output, due to the elimination of signal losses that occur when high-lev el signals pass through a passive crossov er netw[...]

5. Speaker Placement When the S-150P is used as a front loudspeaker it should be located with the center tweeter at seated ear height. If this is not possible the S-150P must be aimed at seated ear height at the center of the primary seating/monitoring location so as to cov er the listening area uniformly with high frequency energy . The S-150P is [...]

A red LED has been mounted on the center axis of the speaker . This LED can be used as an alignment tool for final aiming of the loudspeakers and indicates perfect on axis alignment when the LED is at its brightest. Another wa y to determine the proper angle is to hav e a helper mo v e the speakers while you sit and listen. Y ou should be able to h[...]

On Figure 2, the length of line A - B should be about the same as the length of line X - Y. (They may not seem to be the same in this diagr am due to an optical illusion). Tr y to follow the f or m ula as close as you can. Y ou can fine tune the placement by listening to a source with an image (such as a vocalist) centered between the speakers . Wh[...]

In fact, in many wa ys, the setup of the speakers ina home theatre is more critical than for stereo . Even though the S-150P is less influenced by the room environment than most other speakers, the time you spend in carefully installing y[...]

Play a familiar CD, LP, or tape with steady, consistent bass content through your system. Listen carefully to the "mid-bass" region of 75 - 125 Hz. This is the part of the spectrum where electric or string basses and drums predominate . Then, re v erse the Positive and Negativ e speaker inputs on the back of BOTH Satellite speakers. Y ou [...]

If you want to experiment further, you can mov e the Satellite speakers either tow ards or a way from your listening position, making changes in small increments . This will "focus" the system's sound to its optimum. When you hear the best balance between stereo image localization and maximum impact and output in the mid-bass, you ha[...]

The best wa y to av oid speaker damage is to use common sense. Use moderate boosts of tone controls or equalizers, at the very most. Listen carefully for any harshness and break-up, especially at high volume le v els, and turn down the volume when needed. If you cannot get enough volume, you may need to consider a higher-pow ered amplifier . If you[...]
