Choice of loudspeaker
The Aria Evo X speakers have been developed to operate in stereo and in Home Cinema. If you already
have Aria Evo X loudspeakers at the front and want to move to Home Cinema, you must use a central
loudspeaker and Aria SR900 loudspeakers for the surround effects. This is the only feasible way to
guarantee a perfect tone match and a realistic yet consistent distribution of threedimensional
effects in the room.
Positioning the centre speaker
The central loudspeaker should be placed close to the screen for realistic dialogue reproduction. It can be
placed beneath the television if the TV unit allows this. If a standard projection screen is used, the central
loudspeaker must be placed below the screen for optimum results. If a micro-perforated screen is used, it
can then be placed behind and towards the lower half of the screen.
Positioning the satellites
- Sit in your listening position
- Position the diagram (fig. K) opposite your screen
- It will give you the best position for your 5.1 and 7.1 loudspeakers
Break-in period
The speaker drivers used in Aria Evo X loudspeakers are complex mechanical components which require
a certain time to adapt to operate at their best and to become acclimatised to the temperature and
humidity of the listening environment. This break-in period varies depending on the climate and may last
a few weeks. To reduce the break-in period, we recommend operating the loudspeakers for approximately
twenty consecutive hours. Once the loudspeakers' characteristics have totally stabilised, you will be able
to enjoy your Aria Evo X loudspeakers' performance to the full.
Special precautions
The only maintenance required for the Aria Evo X loudspeakers is dusting with a dry cloth.
If your loudspeaker becomes dirty, we recommend simply cleaning it with a damp cloth.
Never use solvents, detergents, alcohol-based or corrosive products, scrapers or scourers to
clean the surface of a loudspeaker.Keep the loudspeakers away from sources of heat.
Choosing the right amplifier
It is not an excess of amplifier power that can damage your loudspeakers and speaker drivers but a lack
of power. Moreover, if the volume is turned up too high, the amplifier saturates and generates parasite
signals that may damage the tweeter. The dynamic capacity and definition of Aria Evo X loudspeakers are
sufficient to reveal the strengths and weaknesses of whatever amplifier is connected. Your retailer will be
able to help you choose the amplifier best suited to your tastes and budget.
