Positioning
Note:
Be aware that proper air circulation around the monitor for
sufficient cooling is necessary. Also notice that the heat sink is
designed to provide maximum cooling when the monitor is
positioned vertically.
Using a loudspeaker stand:
Optimum performance will be achieved when the Focus 110 A is placed
on a dedicated loudspeaker stand. The specially developed Dynaudio
Stand
1
allows best mechanical fixation and positions the speaker
systems at the proper height while absorbing any resonance. Please
consult your Dynaudio dealer for further informations.
Positioning without using a stand:
Due to its dimensions, the speaker may also be placed on a ledge or
shelf or on top of furniture. However, a certain loss of sound quality
cannot be avoided in these cases. The integrated sound control
switches will be helpful to minimize the acoustical disadvantages of
these positioning options. In any case please make sure to utilize a
stable surface offering a wide space in front of the speakers.
Using the grille
A cloth grille is included and can be affixed to the cabinet to help protect
the drivers from dust and any other influences. The grille is acoustically
optimized, but the highest sound quality levels will be attained without
any grille covers in place during listening.
To fit the grille:
X
Line up the posts with the corresponding front baffle receptacles
and gently push the grille in at all corners.
To remove the grille:
X
Gently pull the grille at all corners straight away from the front.
Connecting
NOTICE:
Avoid hot plugging the equipment connected to the
monitors. Always turn off the speaker and other equipment
when plugging or unplugging signals.
Connecting the speakers to the source
As an active speaker the Focus 110 A is equipped with internal power
amplifiers and must only be connected to a NF signal source
(e.g. Preamplifier, surround decoder, PC sound board,...).
1.
Make sure the speakers are switched off.
2.
From the right Pre Out of your preamplifier resp. the right Line Out
of your source connect a mono RCA cable to the
Input
of the right
speaker.
3.
From the left Pre Out of your preamplifier resp. the left Line Out of
your source connect a mono RCA cable to the
Input
of the left
speaker.
Note:
Use high quality cables only. This will improve the sound quality
and help the Focus 110 A speakers to realize their full potential.
Connecting a subwoofer
The Focus 110 A may be combined with a Dynaudio subwoofer such
as the Sub 250 for extended bass performance and a higher sound
pressure level if the high pass filter is used (see “Cutting off low
frequencies” on page 6).
For information about connecting the Focus 110 A speakers in
combination with a subwoofer please refer to the subwoofer operating
manual.
