Carefully remove the loudspeaker from its packaging. Retain all packaging materials for future transport or storage. Inspect the speaker for any signs of damage. If damage is found, contact your dealer immediately.

Optimal placement is crucial for sound quality. Position the loudspeakers equidistant from your primary listening position. For stereo imaging, ensure the speakers are placed symmetrically within the room. The Theva N°2 features a tilted stand designed for Time Alignment, which focuses the sound towards the listener. Experiment with toe-in (angling the speakers slightly inward) to achieve the best soundstage and imaging in your listening environment.
