Unpacking, Assembly and Set-up
1.
Place the box on the floor and carefully open the packaging on the long side where it has been
taped up, preferably using a pocket knife or kitchen knife.
2.
Remove the accessory pack from the box.
3.
Carefully remove the loudspeaker from the box.
It is ideal if two people carry out this step.
Make sure that you
do not touch the drivers
when removing and handling the loudspeaker
as this may cause irreparable damage to the drivers.
4.
Now remove the foam cover from the top and carefully pull down the foil.
5.
Carefully stand the loudspeaker upside down on a soft surface so that you can easily attach the
felt pads that come with the loudspeaker to its base.
6.
Remove the protective foil from the felt pads and stick them in the corners of the loudspeaker
base, at a distance of approximately five centimetres away from the edges.
7.
Now turn the loudspeaker the right way up and place it in its intended position. When in position,
the loudspeaker should not wobble at all and should stand
level and upright
. The enclosed spirit
level will help you to finely adjust the loudspeaker (it is level when the bubble remains in the
inner circle).
8.
The back of the loudspeaker should be a good hand‘s width away from the back wall so that you
do not bend the connected cables. Placing the loudspeaker even closer to a wall may also be
disadvantageous in terms of sound.
9.
When used as a centre speaker, the OREA should be positioned as centrally as possible between
the main loudspeakers. It should definitely be placed directly under your flatscreen television or
screen. For an optimal and homogenous sound reproduction, please programme the distances
between the individual loudspeakers and the listening position as exactly as possible in the setup
menu of your surround receiver. This is the only way of achieving sound reproduction with precise
phases.
10.
When used in stereo operation, the OREA can be placed close to the wall without any problems.
If you increase the distance between the loudspeaker and the back wall, the sound will tend to
become tighter, but also leaner. Two OREA loudspeakers can also be placed in a low position that
is slightly below the ear height in a seated listening position when used in stereo operation. The
radiation characteristics of the OREA model are optimised to suit this position.
A spatially correct voice
reproduction is only guaranteed
when the OREA, used as a centre
speaker, is placed in a central
position below the screen or the
television set.
