WARNING
The sockets on the loudspeaker marked red (on the right side as you look at the
loudspeaker rear panel) should be connected to the red (or positive) output terminals on
your amplifier, while the sockets marked black should be connected to the black (or
negative) output terminals on your amplifier. Use good quality cable to connect your
loudspeakers to the amplifier. Ensure that the cables from each speaker are of roughly
equal length and that any surplus is gathered in a loose hank. Do not coil the surplus
tightly.
PHASE
If the cables are not connected to each left and right speaker in the same way, i.e. black
and red reversed in one, the effect will be incorrect phasing. This will cause the bass to
disappear and the stereo image to move away from the middle to a position outside the
two speakers. Correctly wiring the polarity of the speakers will restore the image to
between the speakers and provide proper bass. Most speaker cables have a polarising
mark, such as a raised bump or writing on the positive wire.
RUNNING IN
Epos loudspeakers require a little gentle use to allow their working components to settle
into their proper working condition. Do not be concerned if your new speakers sound
aggressive and lacking in low-frequency authority when you first begin to use them.
Things will quickly improve. Allow between twenty four and forty eight hours of normal
use before your new loudspeakers can be expected to perform at their best.
PROTECTIVE GRILLES
Your Epic loudspeakers are supplied with optional protective grilles, which are packed
separately in the main carton. Young children and pets have an affinity for tweeter domes
and woofer cones! If a soft tweeter dome is pushed in, it may eventually return to its
original shape. If in doubt, please contact your dealer. The use of grilles is entirely
optional and many owners prefer the appearance of their loudspeakers without them. A
small reduction in clarity may be apparent with the grilles on.
If you wish to use the grilles, it is necessary to remove the plain front panel of the speaker
by passing the special tool provided through the small access hole at the top/back of the
cabinet (not the large port hole). When it touches the front, bang the knob on the end
with the palm of your hand to cause the panel to pop out at the top. Hold the panel with
both hands and wiggle it until the connection also becomes un-plugged at the bottom.
Store the plain front panel for later use carefully in the carton provided.
Press the protective grille into the aperture, with the EPOS logo on the front at the
bottom and line up the pegs. Press the grille panel until it is level with the frame that runs
around the sides of the cabinet.
