System Setup and Placement
The cabinet of the AO520 and AO620 is constructed of impact resistant ABS
plastic that is sealed to provide resistance from the natural elements of the
weather. The rounded back is designed 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 corrosion.
Forhigh frequencies, a 1”mylar dome tweeterisused.This tweeterusesFerro
Fluid™ liquid cooling to allow greater power handling. For midrange and bass
reproduction, a long throw 5¼ or 6½” poly graphite 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 theclarity with whicheach driver isable to produce
its respective frequency band.
The bracket for the AO520 and AO620 allows the speaker to be hung either
horizontally or vertically,and canbemountedseveraldifferentwaysandswivelsfor

In order to extract the best possible sound from your speaker system, it is
important to determine where the speakers will sound best in your listening
area. Reections from the ground and walls inuence 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
distancethatseparatesthetwomainspeakers. Anglingthespeakersinwardto-
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.
