Philosophy Thank you for purchasing this ELAC product. Since the time we started (1926), ELAC has always striven to achieve the very best. Your new ELAC speakers are built to the highest standards using high-quality components that are carefully constructed to deliver the best-in-class sound quality. They are developed by a passionate group of individuals whose soul purpose is to bring a new dimension of sound quality into your home.
Installing and Removing the Magnetically Attached Grills The mesh grills of your Uni-Fi speakers are designed to be removable if desired. To remove it, hold the top or bottom edges of the grill and pull gently. To replace the grill, place the grill in the normal position on the cabinet and the magnets will hold the grill in place.
Outrigger Feet & Spike Installation (UF5 Only) Using the included outrigger feet provide a wider support base for the speaker cabinet. The included spikes improve stability on uneven surfaces and thickly carpeted floors. Please use caution when dealing with the spikes as they are sharp. IMPORTANT: When using these spikes on hard surfaces such as wood or tile floors be sure to use the provided floor discs to protect your floor from damage.
Speaker Placement Achieve maximum performance and optimal sound quality from your ELAC Uni-Fi speakers with proper speaker placement and set-up. While not all rooms are the same, use the following guidelines to configure the speakers for your particular room. There are no "exact" rules or boundaries in setting up your speakers but the following suggestions will help optimize your desired results.
Stereo Setup • For the best results and the most realistic stereo image and lifelike sound, place the speakers so that an equilateral triangle (fig. 2) is created between the speakers and your favorite listening position. This set up creates the optimum imaging performance. • If you find that your UB5 or UF5 left and right speakers are too far apart, angle (toe in) them towards the listening position to gain a more focused central image .

Surround Sound Setup Whether you use the UB5 bookshelf or the UF5 floqrstanding speakers for a 5.1-channel surround set-up, avoid placing the surround speakers forward of your listening position. The surround speakers should be spread apart wider than the front speakers. In addition, elevate the speakers to the same height or slightly higher as the front speakers for the most enveloping sound field.
Center Speaker Setup The ELAC UC5 center channel is designed to produce dialog sounds and should be positioned above or below (fig. 3) your television. Align it with the center of the television. As much as possible, try to keep the UC5 close to the same level (height) as your front speakers for a more even sound stage.
