Acoustic Energy Aego P5 Loudspeaker User manual
Add to my manuals16 Pages
Acoustic Energy Aego P5 is a powerful 5.1 surround sound speaker system designed to give maximum acoustic performance with minimal visual impact. It will enable you to fill your room with sound rather than speakers and get the best from your AV surround system. The system includes five satellite speakers, a subwoofer, and a digital decoder. The satellite speakers can be wall-mounted, stand-mounted, or surface-mounted, giving you the flexibility to place them in the optimal location for your listening environment.

There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.
The CAUTION marks shown on this page are located on the back of your system.
The lightning flash, with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the system enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle as marked on the system is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance instructions in this owner’s guide.
Important Safety
Instructions
To ensure your safety, please read these instructions before operating this unit.
1.
Follow all instructions and observe warnings marked on the unit.
2.
Always use the correct line voltage. Please refer to page 6, and find out the correct power requirements in your area.
Please note that different operating voltages may require the use of different adapters.
3.
Do not install the unit in an unventilated rack, or directly above heat producing equipment such as power amplifiers.
4.
To avoid shock or fire hazard, do not expose the unit to rain or moisture, or operate it where it will be exposed to water.

AEGO5 Speaker Placement
As with all loudspeakers, the placement in relationship to room boundaries (walls etc.) will have a major effect on their overall performance. As the
Aego Satellites are so small your choice of positions is far greater and you should use this to maximize the performance of these remarkable little speakers.
If a speaker is positioned in free air (not close to any walls etc.) then it will sound brighter. If mounted on or close to a large object (such as a table or on a wall) then the mid range will become louder and the speaker will sound warmer and more powerful.
In most situations we would recommend that the satellites are mounted on walls at about head height with the brackets provided to give you a warm powerful sound that you will find pleasing and comfortable. However if this is not possible then
Aego Speaker Stands are available from your dealer.

The recommended listening position is described below:
■ Centre channel speaker should be placed the same distance as the left and right speakers from your listening position.
■ Rear left and right speakers should be placed behind your listening position and above ear level.
■ If speaker placement is restricted due to the physical environment of the room, delay calibration is sometimes necessary to achieve the ideal listening environment.
■ If the centre speaker can only be placed nearer to you than the left and right speakers, sound from the centre speaker will arrive before the sound from the left and right speakers. The difference in arrival time could may affect the sound quality and effect. Your
AEGO
P
5 allows you to adjust the speaker time delay to compensate for this problem by increasing the delay time for the centre channel.
Thus sound from the centre, left and right speakers will reach you at the same time. If your centre speaker is closer to your listening position than the left and right speakers, press DELAY button repeatedly until the centre channel is selected. To increase or decrease the delay time, press D TIME + or D TIME - until the desired delay is selected. The same procedure can be applied to adjust the delay time of rear surround speakers if necessary.
