<strong>ME</strong> 25<br />

We like to thank you for having placed your confidence in us by buying these loudspeakers. You have<br />

decided to buy a product of quality that meets the highest requirements of sound as well as of<br />

technological concerns.<br />

Enjoy the advantages of our coaxial technology with its decisive characteristic features like the highprecise<br />

presentation of sound events and the big independence in choosing your listening position<br />

inside the stereo triangle.<br />

The speaker systems are artificially aged by a technical sound signal in our factory. Therefore, the<br />

usual initial run period is not necessary.<br />

To exhaust (max out) the sound capabilities of our speakers, we recommend to read the following<br />

instructions for positioning and use.<br />

Coaxial technology<br />

All our speakers are basing on the multipath technology and our special coaxial technology, leading to<br />

an incomparable quality of depth staggering, minimum distortion and definition of location. The course<br />

of the directional characteristic (directivity index) is optimised according to audio physical<br />

perspectives.<br />

Selection of a fitting amplifier<br />

Our <strong>ME</strong> 25 does not represent a difficult load resistance to the amplifier. Due to the linearised<br />

impedance course, even the use of a tube amplifier gives not any problem.<br />

Your franchised dealer of <strong>ME</strong>-<strong>Geithain</strong> will advise you on the selection of the right product.


1. General instructions for use<br />

- Climatic conditions<br />

temperature for use + 15°C.... + 35°C ( 59°F … 95°F )<br />

temperature for storage - 25°C.... + 45°C ( -13°F … 113°F )<br />

relative humidity 45%.... 75 %<br />

- Conditions for warranty<br />

The appliance should be opened only by authorized technical personnel, otherwise<br />

the warranty claims would be lost. Any destruction by overloading, inappropriate<br />

handling or disturbing outside influence likewise leads to the expiry of the warranty.<br />

2. Positioning<br />

The correct positioning of your loudspeakers according to international standards ensures the wanted<br />

quality and can improve the impression of the sound in your listening room significantly<br />

2.1 Stereo mode<br />

The optimal position of two-channel operation is the so-called stereo triangle. The base width between<br />

the speakers and their distance to the listening zone (= reference listening position) form an equilateral<br />

triangle (stereo triangle). The listening distance should not be smaller than 2.0 m ( 6.6 ft ).<br />

For a precise, three-dimensional sound image, turn the loudspeakers slightly into the direction of the<br />

listening zone. Please refer to the graphical presentation.<br />

Fit the height of the speakers to the listening level. Usually, the height of the ears is between 1.00m<br />

and 1.20m (39 inch and 47 inch ) when sitting. We recommend using the especially developed original<br />

stands.<br />

Stereo triangle:<br />

-Base width: 1.50m … 3.00m ( 5ft … 10ft ) -Wall distances at least 0.5m( 20 inch )<br />

Horizontal position between 1.00m and 1.20 m (39 inch and 47 inch ) on ear height in seating position<br />

2.2. Surround mode<br />

listening zone<br />

1.5 m … 3 m<br />

5 ft … 10 ft<br />

The stereo triangle (see stereo operation) is expanded to a thought circle here. The listening zone is<br />

around the central point of this circle (about +/- 80cm( 30 inch )). Take care that every speaker has the<br />

same distance to the listening zone.<br />

The center speaker is situated in the middle of the two front speakers. Because of the magnetic<br />

shielded design, it can be put above or under the television set, in horizontal or vertical position.<br />

Horizontal positioning under the TV set is recommended.<br />

Make sure that front and rear speakers are on the same horizontal level.<br />

The angle between center and rear speakers should be +/- 110° to 120°. (See graphical presentation).<br />

If your living room does not support this exact positioning, use the adjustment feasibilities for level and<br />

time delay according to the speaker distances available on most decoder and/or receiver devices.<br />
