Acoustic Energy AELITE Three - Manual (Page 2)

Congratulations on choosing the Acoustic Energy AELITE
Three, a powerful floor standing, three-way loudspeaker
which features metal diaphragm technology and is capable
of outstanding performance. Please take a few moments
to read this manual. The advice it contains will enable you
to get the very best performance out of your Acoustic
Energy loudspeakers.
The AELITE Three utilises metal cone mid-bass drive unit
technology, proven in the AE Reference Series. The rigid anodised
alloy cones ensure pure piston action and also acts as a heat sink
for the bonded voice coil. These features provide exceptional
clarity, transparency, dynamics and power handling. The units are
housed within vented aluminium chassis reducing stray magnetic
flux to a minimum and increasing power handling.
The tweeter - or treble driver - is a high-quality neodymium unit
with a silk fabric dome integrating smoothly with the rest of the
system.
All drive units are fully magnetically shielded so that the speakers
can be used in close proximity to a TV screen or monitor for AV
applications.
The Acoustic Energy AELITE Three loudspeaker uses quality OFC
internal wiring, which enhances detail and transparency.
The AELITE Threes are best heard with the tweeters at, or just
below, ear height when the listener is seated. For serious listening
the grilles are best removed.
Rigid support is essential for the speaker to develop its full detail
and dynamic performance. It is essential that the plinth supplied
is fitted using the four screws provided. This is best acheived by
standing the speaker on its top giving good access to the pre-
Closeness to room boundaries has a major impact on the low
frequency performance. The speakers should be kept away from
corners (which will produce booming). The speakers can be
positioned fairly close to a back or side wall but should not be the
same distance off the ground as they are from the rear or side wall.
