Please note the maximum power rating of the
ESL HOME
when connecting your
amplifier (see technical specifications). To achieve the highest sound quality, high
quality amplifiers should be selected. The ESL HOME is not "impedance critical".
Both tube and transistor amplifiers are suitable. "Single Ended" amplifiers have
been successfully tested.

Set up
6.1 Orientation
As mentioned in point 4 (Installation), your ESL HOME will be placed close to the
listening position. For this purpose, two example of placement option are given:
Single place (armchair, chair, etc.)
Multi-seat arrangement (sofa, seating groups, etc.)
Single place
Before you begin setting up your
ESL Home
,
you need to locate the left and right
speakers.
You will find the serial number on the LOGO shield. It ends with a letter
("L" or "R"), which means
left
or
right.
Your
ESL HOME
will set up with the longer
side of the electronic housing parallel to your left and right side. In this way, little
living space is "lost" (see graph 3). The connection panel is now located on the
narrow side facing the wall (factory version). Now move your
ESL HOME
so far
forward and to the side that you can perform the settings and angle settings
described in point 4.
