The Artison Surrounds are designed to work with The Portrait, Sketch, and Masterpiece
LCR
speakers,
the only true
5.1/7.1
Channel solutions available
on
the market today that
are
specifically
designed for use
with
flat panel displays and are also compatible
with
rear projection displays.
Artison's Speaker Systems are the high performance choice for state-of-the-art DVD,
DTS,
SACD,
and DVDA multi-channel audio formats. They faithfully reproduce music and movie sound
tracks
without
compromise, and do
not
visually detract from the contemporary appearance
of
your
flat
panel or rear projection display.
The
LRS
Surrounds offer the steering ability
of
a monopole and the spacious sound
of
a dipole.
By
making the frequencies below 3KHz monopole, the fundamentals and first harmonics
of
sounds
such
as
voices, airplanes, helicopters, instruments,
etc.
are
able
to
be
located in the listening
environment and therefore
add
to
the excitement
of
a movie or music soundtrack.
At
the higher
frequencies the dipole acts
to
eliminate the source
of
the sound giving the system the ability
to create a large
ambient
sound field
without
the listener being distracted
by
the source.
The
LRS
surrounds are available
in-
two versions
to
allow the customer
to
choose the type
of
installation that
is
best for their listening environment. Both the surface
mount
LRS-W
and the
in wall
LRS-
IW deliver the dynamics and stealth
of
a state
of
the art
surround.
Artison's Speaker Systems
are
designed
to
be
powered
by
any high quality
AV
receiver
or
decoder/amplifier combination. The hookup is exactly the same as a typical
5.1
or
7.1
Channel
systems
with
one
important
difference - the
LCR
Front Channels include a unique
DualMond
M
Center Channel speaker in the upper
half
of
each
of
the
LCR's
Left and Right speakers. The
Center Channel wire from the receiver is hooked up
to
one
of
the two Center Channels and then
it
is connected (using the included hookup
jumper
wire) in parallel with the other Center
Channel. Together, the DualMono Center speakers deliver accurate center channel sound that
appears
to
come directly from the center
of
the display screen.
The following information will guide you through the installation
of
your Artison
LRS
Surrounds.
