ENGLISH Placement Studio 190/Studio 180/Studio 130 – LEFT AND RIGHT CHANNELS For best results, place the speakers 6 – 10 feet (1.8m – 3m) apart.

The speakers will produce the most accurate stereo soundstage when the angle between the listener and the speakers is between 40 and 60 degrees. 6 – 10 ft (1.
Studio 120c You should place the center speaker directly above or below the center of your TV screen. The speaker’s center should be no more than 2 feet (61cm) above or below the tweeters of the front left and front right speakers. If your TV set is deep enough, you can set the center speaker on top of the TV, with the speaker’s front edge even with the TV’s front edge.
ENGLISH Studio 130 – Surround Channels (5.1-Channel System) When you use Studio 130 speakers as surround-channel speakers in a 5.1-channel system, place them slightly behind the listening position, facing each other. Ideally, they should be 5 – 6 feet (1.5m – 1.8m) above the floor. An alternate location would be on a wall behind the listening position, facing forward. The surround speakers should not call attention to themselves while they’re playing.
Studio 130 – Surround Channels (7.1-Channel System) When you use Studio 130 speakers as surround-channel speakers in a 7.1-channel system, place the surround side speakers directly to the sides of the listening position, at least 5 – 6 feet (1.5m – 1.8m) above the floor. Place the surround back speakers on the wall behind the listening position, also at least 5 – 6 feet (1.5m – 1.8m) above the floor and 3 – 6 feet (0.9m – 1.8m) apart.
ENGLISH Connections CAUTION: Make sure that all of the system’s electrical components are turned OFF (and preferably unplugged from their AC outlets) before making any connections. Speakers and amplifiers have corresponding positive and negative (“+” and “–”) connection terminals. All Studio 1 series speakers have connection terminals that are marked “+” and “–” on the terminal-cup assembly. Additionally, the “+” terminals have red markings, while the “–” terminals have black markings.

ENGLISH Bi-Wire Connection (Studio 190/Studio 180) The Studio 190 and Studio 180 connection assemblies have two sets of input terminals that are connected by metal jumper bars. The upper set of terminals is for the midrange/tweeter, and the lower set of terminals is for the woofer(s). This arrangement allows you to bi-wire the speakers using a single stereo amplifier or using two stereo amplifiers.
