We at Canton wish you lots of pleasure and enjoyment with your new Canton-speakers. Canton-speakers in a stereo set up The , , stereo triangle" is a good rule of guidance for optimum positioning of your new Canton speakers (Fig. This means that best performance is usually obtained when the two speakers and your favourite listening position lie at the corners of an equilateral triangle. [. . . ] The active subwoofer can be located almost anywhere in the room, however the best position is in front of the listener. Surround-speakers: In most cases the surround-speakers should be located to the left and right beside or behind the listener, slightly higher than the seat position. For further information please consult the operating instructions manual of your A/V amplifier (surround amplifier, receiver). Wallmounting For most of the Canton mini-speakers wall brackets are available. these make it possible to place the speakers in optimum earlevel position. If not you can buy them as a Cantomount wallbracket from your authorized Canton dealer. You can buy the Canton LS-speakerstands as an accessorie from your nearest Canton dealer. Positioning a center-speaker The prefered place for a center-speaker is above or below your television set. For optimizing the dispersion-angle some Canton mini-centers are equiped with a stabilisator. By tuning the stabilisator you can adjust its hight and therewith the dispersion-angle of the center-speaker. You will find one of the connector terminals as shown left on the rear of your Canton speakers. These terminals are provided for connecting the Canton speakers to the amplifier. If present, first remove the insulating protective caps from the screw terminals. In order to make it easier to distinguish plus (+) from minus (-) the screwclamps on the back of the loudspeaker (plus = red, minus = black) as well as the screwclamps of your amplifier or receiver differ in colour or are marked with a symbol. also the two conductors of the loudspeaker cable differ in colour , form or marking. Different polarity between the left and the right or the front and the surround channel lead to sound falsifications. For a better understanding please check the operating instructions of your controller and the possibly used subwoofer. Most of our speakers are equipped such that you can connect the tweeter/midrange chassis and the woofer chassis separately to two respective amplifiers (bi-amping), or at least via two separate connecting cables (biwiring).
