Care and Cleaning
To maintain the speaker’s high quality appearance, it is recommended to
regularly use a dry or slightly-damp soft cloth to keep the exterior free from dust
or dirt. To clean dust from the grille, use a vacuum with a brush attachment.
Features
The EW series was designed to be mounted directly onto a wall, and coordinate
with flat panel displays. These speakers may be used for stereo, or can be
used in surround sound applications such as left and right front channels,
dedicated center channel, and as surround channels. The composite woofer
cone, fabricated from cellulose acetate pulp impregnated with mica substrate
and damped with carbon fiber/resin polymer has a very high ratio of weight to
rigidity, permitting the EW series on-wall to deliver thundering bass response
in combination with breathtaking vocal clarity.
For high frequencies, a premium quality silk/polymer resin dome tweeter is
used. This tweeter uses a special magnetic liquid cooling to protect the tweeter
from damage and allow greater power handling.
The EW series specialized crossover design allows the speaker to be used
horizontally or vertically. The crossover system enables flat frequency response
with either placement.
The EW series’ sealed cabinet, constructed from extruded aluminum,
eliminates midrange resonances, and the narrow profile minimizes cabinet
diffraction. The speakers virtually disappear, leaving only a deep, wide sound
stage with pinpoint imaging.
System Setup
In order to extract the best possible sound from your speaker system, it is
important to determine where the speakers will sound best in your listening
room. Room reflections from the floor, ceiling and side walls will influence
the balance, imaging and overall sonic quality of the listening experience. It
is suggested you experiment with different speaker placement possibilities to
determine which location offers the best overall sound. Since the EW series
is designed to be installed next to flat-panel televisions or displays such as
plasma and LCD monitors, this may dictate placing the speakers on each side
of the television, and either above or below if used as a center channel.
