Both sets of feet are threaded to allow easy leveling of the Ultra Towers if they should stand on an uneven surface.
SETTING UP YOUR ULTRA SPEAKERS ACOUSTICS & ROOM PLACEMENT Front Left/Right Loudspeaker Placement and Room Acoustics: Proper placement of the front left/right speakers is essential to achieve the smoothest frequency response, optimal stereo imaging and the most spacious, three-dimensional soundstage. Stereo imaging and soundstage are affected by loudspeaker location and the listening position, relative to each other and room boundaries.
SETTING UP YOUR ULTRA SPEAKERS "$0645*$4 DPOU E A note about Ultra Tower phase and A/V receiver auto-setup processes. MIC INPUT The Ultra Tower side-firing woofer array is designed to provide a more accurate in-room bass response than a conventional front-firing tower by uniformly loading the room, thereby reducing amplitude variations caused by room modes.
SETTING UP YOUR ULTRA SPEAKERS 300. 1-"$&.&/5 DPOU E Center Channel Placement The center channel should be equidistant between the main speakers, and directly under the video display. To the extent possible, try to match the tweeter height of the center channel with the tweeter height of the main left/right speakers. Avoid placing the center channel too close to the ceiling or floor, as this will cause boundary reflections and degrade the sound quality.
SETTING UP YOUR ULTRA SPEAKERS CONNECTION OPTIONS Conventional Wiring All Ultra Speakers ship ready for conventional wiring. With the jumper straps in place, attach each Ultra Speaker to a separate amp channel from your receiver/power amplifier. POWER AMPLIFIER TO RIGHT SPEAKER SPEAKER LEVEL OUTPUTS Bi-wiring To Bi-wire any of the Ultra Speakers, first remove the jumper straps that come pre-installed on the terminals.
SETTING UP YOUR ULTRA SPEAKERS SPEAKER MOUNTING Ultra Surround: Select a location on your wall to mount the Ultra Surrounds. We recommend a height of 24-36 inches about ear level at the listening position. Locate the Ultra Surround bracket kit and mount the smaller of the two brackets to the back of the Ultra Surround with the supplied hardware. The bracket channel should be pointing downward. 24”-36” The larger bracket can be mounted to your wall.
SETTING UP YOUR ULTRA SURROUND SURROUND MODES BIPOLE The Ultra Surround Speakers come setup in Bipole surround mode directly out of the box. This is typically the most popular mode for a surround speaker. In Bipole mode, the drivers of each side of the Ultra Surround are in-phase with one another, resulting in a more directional surround experience. DIPOLE For a less directional, and more diffuse surround experience, the Ultra Surrounds have the ability to be wired in Dipole mode.
