API is one of the largest speaker manufacturers in the world, distributing products to over 60 countries worldwide. A talented research and development team utilizes advanced computer- based design and sophisticated measurement techniques in its ongoing quest for new and better acoustic technologies. This research is based upon the years of pioneering psycho-acoustic research developed in conjunction with the Canadian “National Research Council” (NRC), to create speakers that achieve high performance in typical home listening environments. Extensive research into every aspect of the speaker is analyzed and evaluated before the design stage begins, a concept that we refer to as a holistic design approach. This method guarantees that the finest components and materials are made and tested with sophisticated manufacturing and quality control techniques to ensure exceptional performance that is superior to speakers costing several times their price. AMPLIFIER REQUIREMENTS The athena TECHNOLOGIES® Point 5 Speaker series was designed to be extremely efficient and therefore very undemanding of the connected amplifier. The entire series is designed to be 8 ohm compatible allowing playback on almost any amplifier or receiver on the market. Most amplifiers with a power rating of 20-100 watts per channel will efficiently drive athena TECHNOLOGIES® S.5 and C.5 speakers. If more than one pair of speakers are being used on the same amplifier channel, (an additional pair of speakers for another room, for example) check with the amplifier manufacturer to confirm that the amplifier can handle loads under 8 ohms. WARNING: If an amplifier is over-driven, the resulting distortion is actually many times greater than its rated power. Over-driven amplifier distortion is called “Clipping”, easily identified by its fuzzy, distorted sound, and can damage any speaker. The volume control of most amplifiers and receivers is a logarithmic type, which means that full power may be reached with the volume control set at as little as the halfway point. Operating the loudness, treble, or bass controls increases power output well beyond rated levels. The warranty on your speakers is therefore void if the voice coils are burned or damaged as a result of overpowering or clipping. CABINET CARE Great care and craftsmanship have gone into the construction and finish of the cabinet. Periodically use a soft, dry cloth to remove dust or fingerprints. Do not use paper towel or other abrasive materials as it may damage the finish. LIMITED WARRANTY POLICY WARRANTY FOR UNITED STATES AND CANADA (see back cover) Warranty Outside of The United States and Canada: Product warranties may be legislated differently from one country to another. Ask your local dealer for details of the LIMITED WARRANTY applicable in your country. NOTE: Please retain the carton and packing material for the athena TECHNOLOGIES® speakers to protect them in the event of a move or if they need to be shipped to a service center. Product received damaged by a service center that has been shipped by the end user in other than the original packaging will be repaired, refurbished and properly packaged for return shipment at the end user's expense. SPEAKER PLACEMENT S.5 Front Speaker placement For best stereo imaging, the left and right speakers should be the same distance from their respective side walls. If the distance from one speaker to the listener is very different from the other it can affect the soundstage or stereo imaging. Therefore, the ideal position is having the speakers equidistant to the listener. A general guideline for speaker placement is to set up the space between speaker and listener at approximately 1-1/2 times the distance between the speakers. For example, if the speakers are placed a minimum of 6-feet (1.8m) apart (the absolute minimum), the best seating position would be 9-feet (2.4m) away. C.5 Center Channel placement A center channel can be expected to reproduce as much as 60% of a movie's soundtrack, most of which is dialogue. In order to maintain the effect of voices emanating from the actor's mouth, the C.5 should be centrally located between the left and right main channels and placed above or below the television. Be sure that the C.5's front baffle is flush with the front face of the television or cabinet to maximize dispersion. S.5 Surround Speaker placement The surround speakers can be positioned in a variety of locations. The most popular places used for surround speaker placement are the follow...
