NB!

 The listener’s experience is crucial in adjusting the speakers’ upper 

modules  and  tweeters  positions.  In  addition,  each  room  has  its  own 

characteristics,  therefore  please  refer  to  the  above  suggestions  as 

general guidelines. 

 

During the final set-up, small adjustments may be made to 

the initial chosen position, e.g. moving the speakers 10 cm towards the 

front wall, etc. Please evaluate the sound carefully every time you make 

a small change in the positioning. Continue making small changes in 

the  positioning  and  evaluate  again  until  the  proper  position  with  a 

balanced, natural sound is found. We suggest that you test and listen 

to various musical pieces from different genres to avoid specific sonic 

accents. 

NB!

 For the small adjustments in positioning use the lift cart. 

 

Before  critical  listening,  please  allow  60-90  minutes  of 

playback  for  system  stabilization.  When  listening  at  an  excessive 

volume you risk damaging the drivers. 

NB!

 When the sound is set up, please remove the power supplies so 

there’s no electromagnetic interference. 

4.4.1. Troubleshooting 

 

When the speakers are not detected by the remote control, 

or  when  there  is  a  lack  of  functionality  while  adjusting  the  upper 

modules and the tweeters, then reset the remote control by holding 

down  the  left  and  right  arrows  simultaneously  for  5  seconds.  The 

remote  control  will  restart  and  will  connect  with  the  2  speakers.  If 

resetting the remote doesn’t fix the issue, then remove the DC power 

supply  from  the  speaker  and  connect  again.  Then  reset  the  remote 

control again.
