characteristics. This Dual Frequency Crossover permits both driv
ers to operate throughout the crucial middle frequency range. Dis
tributing the energy between the two drivers eliminates the
undesirable “point source” effect of a conventional loudspeaker.
This results in more spacious sound and unusual clarity and
naturalness through the middle and higher frequencies.
4. INSTALLATION
The Model 301 provides a versatility of placement and adjustment that
will produce excellent performance in virtually any room. However, all
loudspeakers will sound better if installed properly. The following guide
lines should be followed in installing the Model 301.
A. Speaker Placement
For optimum performance, the Model 301 should be positioned hori
zontally on a bookshelf, table, or pedestal. However, excellent per
formance can also be obtained with vertical placement.
DIAGRAM 3
PLACEMENT FOR WIDE SPACING
HORIZONTAL PLACEMENT The speaker labeled "Part 1” is nor
mally used on the left side of the room and "Part 2" is normally
used on the right side (Diagram 2).
The speakers are best located 114 to 5 feet above the floor, with
each speaker V/z to 3 feet from a reflecting side wall, and with
as much free space around the tweeter side of the speaker as
possible. The following guidelines should be followed:
1. Both speakers should be at least 18 inches above the floor.
2. If the speakers are hung from the ceiling or placed on a high
bookshelf, the space from the ceiling to the top of the speaker
should be at least 18 inches. Placing the speaker exactly halfway
between floor and ceiling is not desirable for best bass response.
3. The ideal separation between speakers should be from 6 to 12
feet, with a minimum spacing of 4 feet. If spacing greater than
12 feet is used, the alternate placement shown in Diagram 3
should be tried. This will provide a stronger sound image in
the space between the two speakers.
