What’s inside 2 3 4 5 7 11 The technology inside Micro SE and A’Diva SE speakers Mounting options Using a subwoofer Speaker positioning Connections Specifications / For more information The technology inside Micro SE and A’Diva SE speakers The Micro SE and A’Diva SE are the result of a 15-year effort by Anthony Gallo Acoustics to create the ultimate compact, full-range driver.
Mounting options Your first decision with the Micro SE or A’Diva SE is how and where to mount the speakers. The standard 1/4-20 threaded mount on the back allows the speakers to be used with several different mounts available from Anthony Gallo Acoustics. The Micro SE and A’Diva SE give you six mounting options. Except as noted, all of our aftermarket mounts are available in colors to match your speakers.
Using a Subwoofer The Micro SE and A’Diva SE can be used without a subwoofer if you wish. However, your system will obviously deliver much better bass with a subwoofer. Also, the Micro SE and A’Diva SE will play louder when used with a subwoofer and a high-pass filter (or crossover) in the system to prevent deep bass frequencies from reaching the speaker. The high-pass filter can be in an A/V receiver or surround processor, or built into your subwoofer.
Speaker positioning The places you choose to install your Micro SE or A’Diva SE speakers will have a large effect on the sound quality of your system. In all cases, though, we recommend placing the Micro SE or A’Diva SE speakers as close as practical to a wall or ceiling, in order to reinforce their bass output and blend better with your subwoofer. TECH TIP: No, you’re not hearing things-your Anthony Gallo Acoustics speakers do sound better as they break in.
Home theater systems Place the center channel speaker so it’s directly above or below the center of your video screen, whichever is most convenient. For the left/right channels, place the Micro SEs or A’Diva SEs to the left and right sides of your screen. The wider you space them, the more enveloping the surround effect will be with 5.1 or 7.1 material, and the wider the soundstage will be with stereo material.
Connections There are all sorts of different stereo systems, and a variety of ways you can connect the Micro SE or A’Diva SE speakers. We’ll cover the most common ones here. We know some people use surround-sound receivers in “2.1” mode, with stereo speakers and a subwoofer. If this is your setup, follow the directions under Home Theater Systems below, and just omit the center and surround speaker. NOTE: Be sure to turn your amplifier or receiver off before you connect the speakers.
Stereo system with subwoofer – speaker-level connection How to connect a stereo integrated amplifier or receiver to a subwoofer with speaker-level inputs and outputs and a pair of Micro SEs or A’Diva SEs. Almost no stereo integrated amps and receivers have subwoofer crossovers built in, so if you’re using one of these, you’ll probably have to use a speaker-level connection from the amp or receiver to the subwoofer, then from the subwoofer to the Micro SE or A’Diva SE.
Stereo system with subwoofer – line-level connection How to connect a stereo preamp and amplifier to a subwoofer using line-level inputs and outputs and a pair of Micro SEs or A’Diva SEs. If you’re using a separate stereo preamp and amplifier (or if your integrated amp or stereo receiver has line-level outputs and inputs for an external processor), you can (and should) use a line-level connection to the subwoofer and back to the amplifier.
Home theater systems How to connect an A/V receiver to seven Micro SEs or A’Diva SEs with a line-level connection to the subwoofer With a home theater system—using either an A/V receiver or a surround-sound processor—all crossover filtering takes place inside the receiver or surround processor. Thus, you can use a single line-level connection to the subwoofer and direct connections from the receiver or multichannel amp to the speakers.
