Page 7: System Set-Up And Operation
System Set-Up and Operation Unpacking The easiest and safest way to get the speakers out of the packing materials is to first carefully turn the box over onto its top. Cut the bottom tape and open the flaps. Then carefully turn the box right side up, making sure to keep all the bottom flaps turned out, not under the box. -

Getting Connected -- Hooking Up your Nucleus Reference 3.5 Speakers Caution: Failure to turn off the receiver or amplifier before connecting your speakers may result in damage to your system. -
Page 9: Connection And Set-Up
For more information about the remarkable Reference SA amplifier, please contact your Anthony Gallo Acoustics dealer or us directly. Note: Although it's possible to use another power amplifier with the "Sub In"... -
Page 10: Opt Connection
OPT Connection The OPT Level 2 input (dielectric countermeasure technology) is located above the binding posts for mating with our optional Reference 3.5 loudspeaker wire. Inserting the banana plug attached to the end of this speaker cable into the OPT jack on the speaker effectively makes the connection much closer to the drive source, as it is shielding the speaker wire to maximize the benefit of this wiring scheme. -
Page 11: Speaker Settings In A Surround Sound Receiver Or Processor
Speaker Settings in a Surround Sound Receiver or Processor If you are using a contemporary surround sound receiver or processor you need to set the speaker parameters properly to maximize your system's performance. After your speakers are properly connected, turn on the receiver or processor, enter the setup menu and navigate to the speaker settings menu. - Page 12 We recommend that you experiment to determine the best configuration for your system and room. And of course, if you're using the Reference SA amplifier and/or you don't have an external subwoofer, set the Reference 3.5's to "Large" as outlined above. To evaluate the bass performance, listen to well-recorded information with good bass content and pay particular attention to the deep bass and mid-bass, including the transition between the 3.5's and the subwoofer(s) at different crossover settings.

Page 13: Advanced Set-Up Information
Advanced Set-Up Information Speaker Break In Your new Nucleus Reference 3.5 loudspeakers will benefit from some operating time to develop their full sound potential. They should sound good right out of the box, but after a few hours of use the sound can become less cohesive, dull and/or lack dynamics. Don't worry, the speakers will gradually regain their extended frequency response. - Page 14 Figure 2. Positioning of the Speakers Home theater positioning can mimic the above recommendations. However, try to keep the L/R speakers within two or three feet of the edge of the TV screen. The center channel should be centered on the screen, either above or below the TV. The primary surrounds are best placed to the sides of the listening area and not directly behind the listeners.

For alternate placement recommendations, speak with your Gallo dealer or contact us directly. The Nucleus Reference 3.5 speakers can be set up with their side-mounted woofers facing outwards towards the walls of the room or so the woofers are facing towards each other. -

"open" when the speakers are 12 to 36 inches out into the room. The Nucleus Reference 3.5's can fire straight ahead, or be angled (toed) inward (Figure 3) towards the listening position. Stereo imaging will be more specific when angled in, and upper bass will be more prominent and "faster"... -
