2. Te Whakanohonga Kaikorero
Optimal speaker placement is crucial for the best audio experience. Consider your listening area and room acoustics.

Jamo S 809 Floorstanding Speakers: Place these as your front left and right channels, equidistant from your primary listening position and the display. They should be angled slightly inward towards the listener.

Jamo S 83 CEN Center Channel Speaker: Position this speaker directly above or below your television or projection screen, centered with the display. This speaker handles dialogue and on-screen sound effects.

Jamo S 803 Bookshelf Speakers: Use these as your surround left and right channels. Place them to the sides or slightly behind your main listening position, at or slightly above ear level. Ensure they are angled towards the listening area.

Jamo S 810 SUB 10" Subwoofer: Experiment with placement. Common locations include a corner of the room or along the front wall near the floorstanding speakers. Corner placement often enhances bass output. Avoid placing it directly in the middle of a wall.
3. Hononga
Before making any connections, ensure your AV receiver and all audio components are powered off and unplugged from the wall outlet.
- Waea Tukuoro: Connect appropriate gauge speaker wire from your AV receiver's speaker terminals to the corresponding binding posts on each speaker. Ensure positive (+) terminals on the receiver connect to positive (+) terminals on the speakers, and negative (-) to negative (-). Incorrect polarity will result in poor sound quality.
- S 809 Dolby Atmos Ready: The S 809 floorstanding speakers feature integrated connection points on top for seamless integration with optional Jamo S 8 ATM Dolby Atmos elevation speakers (sold separately). If using S 8 ATM modules, connect them to the dedicated terminals on top of the S 809 speakers, and then connect the S 809's main input to your receiver. This design routes the Atmos signal through the floorstander, simplifying wiring.
- Hononga Subwoofer: Connect an RCA cable from your AV receiver's LFE (Low-Frequency Effects) or Subwoofer Pre-Out jack to the LFE input on the Jamo S 810 SUB subwoofer. Then, connect the subwoofer's power cable to a wall outlet.
- Whakaoho Tuatahi: Once all connections are secure, plug in your AV receiver and subwoofer, then power them on. Follow your AV receiver's instructions for initial setup, including speaker calibration (e.g., setting speaker sizes, distances, and levels).

- Dolby Atmos-encoded content (e.g., Blu-ray discs, streaming services).
- Optional Jamo S 8 ATM Dolby Atmos elevation speakers connected to your S 809 floorstanding speakers.
