5Setup RecommendationThe Sonic Carrier main unit is designed to be placed on top of a console or wall mounted. For optimum performance, please observe the setup recommendation below.1. In order to reproduce an immersive sound experience, the Sonic Carrier main unit radiates sound from the front, top and sides. Ensuring that these sound waves are not obstructed by objects placed in their path would yield the best sound experience. Do not place your Sonic Carrier within an enclosed ﬁxture (Cabinet, Shelving unit, etc.), and make sure nothing is obstructing the sides. The top ﬁring speakers needs to have a clear line of sight to the ceiling as well.2. Locate the Sonic Carrier at least 10cm away from the bottom of your TV, to avoid obstructing the top ﬁring speakers3. For the best listening experience, the listening position should be at least 3ft away from the Sonic Carrier 4. The subwoofer unit produces non-directional sound and thus could be placed at your convenience around the room. For optimum results, it would be best to locate the subwoofer equidistant to the main unit when measured from the listening position, and to keep the subwoofer within 3M of the main unit. 5. The subwoofer is equipped with a pair of ports that augments the sound output of the dual subwoofer drivers at the lowest frequencies. A distance of 10cm between the rear of the subwoofer enclosure and the adjacent wall has to be maintained in order to avoid turbulence or air chufﬁng noises. 6. Room acoustics has a major inﬂuence on sound quality. The ear is particularly troubled by standing waves and echoes which can be identiﬁed by moving around your room and loudly clapping your hands. Parallel surfaces such as opposite walls, ﬂoor and ceiling encourage and sustain these problems. However, rearranging curtains, thick carpets, rugs, furniture and bookcases can make a dramatic improvement as the sound waves are partially absorbed and diffused. As far as possible, the Sonic Carrier main unit should also be setup such as to maintain symmetry in the room, with equal distance from the main unit to the left and right wall. Care for your Sonic CarrierCabinetYour Sonic Carrier is ﬁnely crafted to last a lifetime from select metal alloys, engineering polymers; and should be treated as you would furniture with similar materials and ﬁnishes. Dust lightly with a soft lint-free cloth, avoiding abrasives and spirit based cleaners. If necessary, wipe carefully with a cloth slightly dampened with glass cleaner to remove stubborn soil and marks.GrillesThe acoustically transparent fabric midrange driver grilles help protect the driver uits, and could be left in place during listening with negligible acoustic effect. These could be taken off and cleaned using a lint brush. Should you choose to clean the grilles in place, be careful not to press in and deform the drivers under the grille. DriversAvoid touching the speaker diaphragms, particularly tweeters. The surface of the midrange driver could be dusted very carefully with a soft dry brush. General care informationAvoid damp, direct sunlight and temperature extremes. The ventilation and ports should not be impeded by covering the ventilation openings with items, such as newspapers, table-cloths, curtains, etc. No naked ﬂame sources, such as lighted candles, should be placed on the apparatusCare and Setup Information
