4. Opsætning

4.1 Højttalerplacering

Korrekt placering af højttalere er afgørende for optimal lydgengivelse. Overvej følgende retningslinjer:

• Stereobilleddannelse: For en stereoopsætning skal du placere højttalerne lige langt fra din primære lytteposition og med afstand fra hinanden, så de danner en ligesidet trekant.
• Højde: Position the speakers so that the tweeters are approximately at ear level when you are seated in your listening position.
• Afstand fra vægge: The RB-81 II features a front-firing port, which allows for more flexible placement closer to walls compared to rear-ported designs. However, some distance from the rear and side walls can improve bass response and soundstage. Experiment with placement to find the best balance for your room.
• Stabilitet: Ensure the speakers are placed on a stable surface, such as sturdy speaker stands or a robust bookshelf, to prevent vibrations and ensure clear sound.

4. Opret forbindelse til amplivligere: Repeat the process for the other speaker, ensuring consistent polarity.
5. Bi-wiring/Bi-amping (Avanceret): If you intend to bi-wire or bi-amp, remove the metal jumpers. Connect separate speaker wires from your amplifier to the HF terminals and LF terminals on the speaker. Consult your amplifier's manual for bi-amping instruktioner.
