CONNECTIONS
For optimal sound reproduction, we suggest that you choose a loudspeaker cable of high quality to connect your amplifier to your TRIANGLE loudspeakers. You should use cables of the same length for the left and right channels and take special care to respect the + and – polarity for each channel. Don’t forget to strip the cables if its necessary.
POSITIONING FOR STEREO
When positioning your loudspeakers, apply the following rules:
- Avoid rooms with too much reverberation, such as tiled rooms without carpets or curtains.
- Your listening position should no be too close to the loudspeakers, leave a minimum of 2 m
- The distance between the speakers should be a minimum of 2 m for a good stereo effect.
- If possible, place the speakers so that sound is «diffused» lengthwise within the room.
- Avoid placing the speaker in corners; they should be at least at 40 cm away from the back wall and at least 50 cm from the sidewalls. Generally, a position close to the rear wall increase the response in the low frequencies (and reduce the imaging) and contrariwise, a position far from the back wall reproduces a wide and deep sound image. Carry out several test positions to find the best room set-up.
POSITIONING FOR HOME CINEMA
A typical home cinema installation includes:
- Two main speakers, left and right
- A center speaker
- One or several subwoofers
- Surround speakers (5.1 signal : 2 rear speakers, 6.1 signal : 3 rear speakers, 7.1 signal : 4 rear speakers).
To place the main speakers in the best position, follow the same rules as for a stereo installation (see previous page on stereo positioning).
- The center speaker should be placed along the line formed by the two main speakers.
- For home cinema setups a subwoofer is highly recommended in order to reproduce the special bass effects channel featured on supports such as DVD audio or video. The positioning of the subwoofer is not critical if you select a crossover frequency below 80 Hz. Above this frequency, it is better to move the subwoofer closer to the main speakers. The best position being in between the two main speakers. Ensure that it is not placed in the corner of the room to avoid creating unpleasant resonances.
- We recommend that you place the rear speakers at between 1.5 and 2 m of height. Their role is to reproduce surround sound. Ensure that you take into account the weigh of the speaker when fixing it onto the wall.
You will find further instructions for configuring your installation in your A/V amplifier owner’s manual.

FAQs
Bookshelf speakers can be used for more than simply music. For watching movies and TV shows, a pair of superb bookshelf speakers may produce vocal clarity and dynamics that are far superior to any TV’s built-in speakers. Many of our speaker suggestions also include a centre speaker that is specifically made to reproduce dialogue.
Yes. Although it’s not ideal, bookshelf speakers can be positioned on their side. It’s probable that this will have a detrimental effect on sound quality. While not ideal, horizontal positioning might be acceptable if your goal is casual listening.
A group of devoted specialists has been creating high-fidelity speakers made in France for 40 years under the name Triangle.
The response to these queries depends on the features, the calibre of the construction, and the components of the speakers. If you take care of them, speakers typically last 10 to 20 years before needing to be replaced.
Although bookshelf speakers can serve as front speakers in a home theatre sound system, they perform best when coupled with a subwoofer (bass source). Bookshelf speakers only have two drivers, as opposed to tower speakers, hence their bass range is constrained. For maximum use, positioning and configuration are crucial.
One thing to keep in mind is that, even though getting close to a back wall typically just amplifies the bass, if you get too close to a side wall, where the wall is now affecting and being seen by the speaker’s entire front driver assembly, you may actually start amplifying frequencies other than the bass frequencies.
Bookshelf speakers should not be placed on the ground; instead, they should be placed on a shelf, table, or other elevated surface. They are made with the intention of enhancing sound in tiny to medium-sized settings.
If your room is shaped like a rectangle, the bookshelf speakers should be placed towards the far end so that they project across the length of the space. In order to reduce reflections, you should essentially leave as much space as you can between the front of the speakers and the wall they face.
Renaud de Vergnette founded TRIANGLE in Soissons, France, in 1980, and for the past four decades, the company has boldly displayed its love of audio equipment to the globe. TRIANGLE legally advertises its Made in France items as coming from Soissons in Picardy.
The fact that bookshelf speakers sound best when placed on a stand is no coincidence. This is so that a correctly constructed loudspeaker stand can lift the diminutive box speaker off of surfaces like bookshelves, floors, and walls.
The key here is that a bookshelf speaker may be relatively tiny and deliver almost the entire frequency range. In a 2.0 arrangement for stereo speakers in a dedicated listening setup, bookshelf speakers are common.
Bookshelf speakers should generally be positioned at a level that is about ear level. For best results, the tweeters should be placed close to ear level.
To maximise their overall performance, bookshelf speakers should specifically be positioned two to three feet away from the wall. Bookshelf speakers should be mounted in order for the air supplied through the ports to reach open space as quickly as feasible.
Since powered speakers already have an amplifier inside of them, all you need to do is connect them into an electrical outlet to use them. You can directly plug all of your home theatre components into them because they are made with a broad variety of inputs (ports).
