System Setup and Placement

The cabinet of the

AWS-6 is constructed of impact resistant ABS plastic that

is sealed to provide resistance from the natural elements of the weather. The
rounded back is for easy placement into a corner. All hardware parts are made
from brass, aluminum or stainless steel and the binding posts are plastic to
avoid rusting and/or corrosion.

For high frequencies, a 1” mylar dome tweeter is used. This tweeter uses Ferro
Fluid™ liquid cooling to allow greater power handling. For midrange and bass
reproduction a long throw 61⁄2” polygraphite woofer with a butyl rubber
surround is used.

Steep acoustic slope crossovers are used to integrate drivers. The use of
steep crossover slopes allows high power handling, minimizes driver interaction
anomalies, and maximizes the clarity with which each driver is able to produce
its respective frequency band.

The bracket for the

AWS-6 allows the speaker to be hung either horizontally

or vertically, can be mounted several different ways and swivels for optimum place-
ment.

In order to extract the best possible sound from your speaker system, it is im-
portant to determine where the speakers will sound best in your listening area.
Reflections from the floor, ceiling and side walls influence the balance, imaging
and overall sonic quality at the listening position. We suggest you experiment
with speaker placement to determine which location offers the best overall
sound and protection from direct weather elements.

The distance from the listening position to each speaker should be close to the
distance that separates the two main speakers. Angling the speakers inward to-
wards the listening position may give a more spacious and realistic sound stage.

Placing the speakers in a corner or under an eave will provide reinforcement
for the bass frequencies, resulting in higher bass output. Placing the speakers
away from any corners or walls will provide the least amount of reinforcement,
resulting in lower bass output.
