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 just playing music. When watching movies and TV shows, a set of high-quality bookshelf speakers may provide vocal clarity and dynamics that are noticeably better than any TV’s built-in speakers. Several of our speaker selections additionally include a centre speaker created especially to reproduce dialogue.
Yes. Although not ideal, bookshelf speakers can be placed on their side. This will probably result in a decrease in sound quality. While not ideal, a horizontal posture might be acceptable if your goal is casual listening.
For 40 years, a group of devoted professionals has been making high-fidelity speakers in France under the Triangle name.
The components of the speakers, the calibre of the construction, and their features all play a role in the replies to these inquiries. If you take care of your speakers, they should last between 10 and 20 years before needing to be replaced.
Although bookshelf speakers can serve as front speakers in a home theatre sound system, they are most effective when combined with a subwoofer (bass source). Bookshelf speakers only have two drivers in comparison to tower speakers, hence their bass range is constrained. For best use, positioning and design are crucial.
While approaching too closely to a side wall, where the wall is now impacting and being seen by the speaker’s whole front driver assembly, can actually start amplifying frequencies other than the bass frequencies, approaching too closely to a back wall often just improves the bass.
Bookshelf speakers should be mounted on a table, shelf, or other high surface as opposed to the ground. They are made to make small- to medium-sized venues’ sound quality better.
For the optimum sound distribution along the length of a rectangle-shaped room, the bookshelf speakers should be placed close to the far end. In order to reduce reflections, you should essentially leave as much room as you can between the front of the speakers and the wall they face.
In Soissons, France, Renaud de Vergnette founded TRIANGLE in 1980. For the past four decades, the company has proudly shared its love of audio equipment with the globe. TRIANGLE is authorised to assert that its Made in France products are made in Soissons, Picardy.
Bookshelf speakers perform best when mounted on a stand, which is no accident. By employing a correctly constructed loudspeaker stand, this is done in order to raise the little box speaker off of items such as bookshelves, floors, and walls.
Using a bookshelf as a centre speaker is just as simple as using it as a left or right speaker because the centre channel is actually the same as the left and right channels. The speaker would be standing straight in this scenario (true of most speakers).
It’s crucial to keep in mind that a bookshelf speaker can be quite compact and reproduce almost the entire frequency range. In a dedicated listening environment, bookshelf speakers in a 2.0 configuration are typical.
In general, bookshelf speakers need to be set up at ear level or somewhat above. For optimal results, the tweeters should be placed close to ear level.
For optimal performance, bookshelf speakers should be positioned two to three feet away from a wall. Bookshelf speakers should be positioned so that the air released through the ports may reach open space as quickly as feasible.
