Ambience 5
COMPACT SPEAKER SYSTEM
The ARX Ambience 5 is a high performance 2 way speaker system that
provides stunning sound from an easily manageable package with minimal
visual intrusion on installation decor.
It is made from a durable, yet lightweight high impact resin, and designed
with reinforcing ribs and non parallel
surfaces to eliminate cabinet resonance and avoid early reflection
smearing.
Low frequencies are handled by a
foam rolled surround 8” (200mm)
bass driver, and High frequencies by a
soft dome 1”
(25mm) HF
driver. Both
drivers are
screwed and
sealed for rigid mounting to
the front baffle, which is
curved for
better dispersion. The bass
driver has a
vented pole
piece for optimum power handling
and cooling. Frequency management
is provided by a 2nd Order 12 dB per
octave crossover, internally mounted on a fibreglass printed circuit board.
Internal damping to reduce standing
waves is provided by Fiberfil filling,
and the cabinet is vented for optimum bass performance. Connectors
are push terminal as standard, which
allows for completely flush mounting
against walls, and a moulded-in carrying handle makes transportation a
breeze.
Its light weight means that the Ambience 5 can easily be mounted out of
the way of sightlines. A mounting
plate included with each Ambience 5
lets you install it either tweeter up or
tweeter down depending upon the
application. The mounting bracket
bolts on to the cabinet via 2 sets of
threaded holes rear face.
And,
because
we
know what conditions professional
speakers have
to endure,
we’ve protected the
front of the
cabinet with a
sturdy steel
mesh grille,
not fragile
cloth. For installers, the
matte finish of
the cabinet
means that its
neutral dark colour (or white - see
options at right) will blend neatly in
with existing decor, and can also be
easily painted for applications that
require complete colour coordination.
Summing it all up, the ARX Ambience 5 is a speaker system of breathtaking realism, suitable for the most
demanding applications.

AMBIENCE 5 MOUNTING
ARX Ambience 5 speakers are designed to
be installed in a vertical position, with the
bracket attached through the metal plate
that slides into the inner surface of the top
and bottom handle recesses.
Care must be taken to ensure that the surface to which they are to be mounted is
capable of supporting the weight of the
Ambience 5.
In a brick/concrete wall, make sure that
suitable anchor bolts are used.
In a plasterboard/drywall installation, it is
important to ensure the mounting fasteners
are screwed through the plasterboard surface to the supporting stud or beam underneath.
We recommend using the ARX +15 Kg
mounting bracket (Bracket 2) or a similar
model from a 3rd party supplier, e.g. Omnimount or similar.
Please note that non-ARX brackets may require extra installation time and preparation
due to their differing non-standard mounting
holes.
