What amplifier to use with the Elara LN02 speaker?

How to connect the Elara LN02 speaker to a home theater amplifier?

Use a speaker cable of sufficient gauge. Respect polarities + and - for each channel. Strip the cables if necessary. For a home theater installation, the center channel (LN02) should be placed between the main speakers.

Can I use the Elara LN02 as a main stereo speaker?

Yes, the Elara LN02 can be used in stereo as a bookshelf speaker, on a shelf or stand. Follow placement recommendations for optimal sound imaging.

What is the role of the Elara LN02 center channel in a home theater?

The center channel (LN02) reproduces dialogue and central sound effects. It should be placed on the line formed by the two main speakers for sonic coherence.

In your A/V amplifier menu, set the center channel to 'SMALL' to limit bass, especially if using a subwoofer. The recommended crossover frequency is below 80 Hz.

Before disposing the packaging, check that nothing is left inside.

2 - Secure the pedestal by using the screws supplied
3 - Attach the glue pads on the outer holes, if you do not want to make use the optional spikes

Connections

For optimal sound reproduction, we suggest that you choose a loundspeaker cable of high quality to connect your amplifier to your TRIANGLE loudspeakers. You should use cables of the same length for the left and right channels and take special care to respect the + and - polarity for each channel. Don't forget to strip the cables if it's necessary.

Choose the Amplifier

For optimal results, it is important to choose a good quality amplifier with sufficient power. It is preferable to use a powerful amplifier within reasonable limits, with less risk of distortion, than demanding too much from a less powerfull amplifier, which will ultimately clip and seriously risk damaging your loudspeakers.

Finally, remember that a volume dial set at medium position does not mean that the amplifier is at «medium» power. It mainly depends on input sensitivity and output level of the source.

Positioning for stereo

When positioning your loudspeakers, apply the following rules:

• Avoid rooms with too much reverberation, such as tiled rooms without carpets or curtains.
• Your listening position should not be too close to the loudspeakers, leave a minimum of 2 m.
• The distance between the speakers should be a minimum of 2 m for a good stereo effect.
• If possible, place the speakers so that sound is «diffused» lengthwise within the room.
• Avoid placing the speaker in corners; they should be at least at 40 cm away from the back wall and at least 50 cm from the sidewalls. Generally, a position close to the rear wall increase the response in the low frequencies (and reduce the imaging) and contrariwire, a position far from the back wall reproduces a wide and deep sound image. Carry out several test positions to find the best room set-up.

Positioning for home-cinema

A typical home cinema installation includes :

①- Two main speakers, left and right (LN05 or LN07)
②- A centre speaker (LN02)
③- One or several subwoofers (Thetis 280 or Tales 340)
④- Surround speakers (5.1 signal : 2 rear speakers, 6.1 signal : 3 rear speakers, 7.1 signal : 4 rear speakers) (LN01)

To place the main speakers in the best position, follow the same rules as for a stereo installation (see previous page on stereo positioning).

- The centre speaker should be placed along the line formed by the two main speakers.

- For home cinema setups a subwoofer is highly recommended in order to reproduce the special bass effets channel featured on supports such as DVD audio or video. The positioning of the subwoofer is not critical if you select a crossover frequency below 80 Hz. Above this frequency, it is better to move the subwoofer closer to the main speakers. The best position being in between the two main speakers. Ensure that it is not placed in the corner of the room to avoid creating unpleasant resonances.

- We recommend that you place the rear speakers at between 1.5 and 2 m of height. Their role is to reproduce surround sound. Ensure that you take into account the weigh of the speaker when fixing it onto the wall.

You will find further instructions for configuring your installation in your A/V amplifier owner's manual.
