R
EPEAT THE ABOVE PROCESS WITH THE LOUDSPEAKERS AT THE 4 AND 10 POSITION. THEN
REPEAT, ONCE AGAIN WITH THE SPEAKERS AT THE 5 AND 9 POSITION.
SUMMARY
O
NCE THE INITIAL PROCESS HAS BEEN COMPLETED, RETURN TO THE BASS SET-UP TO
ENSURE THAT THE LOUDSPEAKERS ARE THE PROPER DISTANCE FROM THE BACK WALL. WHEN THE
PROCESS HAS BEEN COMPLETED, MARK THE SPEAKER LOCATION WITH TAPE SO THAT THE
SPEAKERS CAN BE RETURNED THERE FOR FURTHER LISTENING.
POSITIONING—Q3s IN RELATION TO THE LISTENER
•
T
HE SPEAKERS AND THE LISTENER SHOULD FORM AN ISOSCELES TRIANGLE.
•
T
HE LISTENER SHOULD BE EXACTLY EQUIDISTANT BETWEEN THE TWO
LOUDSPEAKERS. THE BEST WAY TO DETERMINE THIS IS WITH A PIECE OF STRING. PICK A
FIXED SPOT AT THE LISTENING POSITION. RUN THE STRING FROM THIS SPOT TO THE
FRONT OF THE TWEETER OF THE LEFT SPEAKER. REPEAT THE PROCESS FOR THE RIGHT
SPEAKER. IT IS CRITICALLY IMPORTANT TO KEEP THIS DISTANCE PRECISELY THE SAME.
CONNECTIONS
C
ONNECTIONS SHOULD BE MADE WITH ALL ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT (AMPLIFIERS,
PREAMPLIFIERS) TURNED OFF. THERE ARE TWO TERMINALS AT THE BACK OF THE SPEAKER. THE
TERMINALS ARE INSULATED TO ACCEPT A VARIETY OF CABLE TERMINATIONS FOR MOST
APPLICATIONS AND TO PREVENT ANY LIKELIHOOD OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK, EVEN WHEN THE
SPEAKERS ARE USED WITH THE HIGHEST POWERED AMPLIFIERS. DO NOT USE TOOLS TO TIGHTEN
THE BINDING POSTS.
BREAK-IN
A
LOUDSPEAKER IS A MECHANICAL DEVICE AND AS SUCH REQUIRES AN EXTENDED INITIAL
PERIOD OF NORMAL USE DURING WHICH A NOTICEABLE IMPROVEMENT IN SOUND QUALITY WILL
OCCUR. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ACCELERATE THE BREAK-IN PROCESS BY PLAYING SINE WAVES,
TONE SWEEPS, BREAK-IN CDS OF ANY SORT, OR OTHER GENERATED SIGNALS.
CARE:
F
OR ALUMINUM PANELS USE A LINT-FREE SOFT CLOTH (PROVIDED IN ACCESSORY KIT),
DAMPENED ONLY WITH WARM, SLIGHTLY SOAPY WATER (A SMALL DROP OF DISH SOAP WILL DO).
DO NOT USE CLEANERS THAT CONTAIN AMMONIA, STRONG SOLVENTS, OR ABRASIVE MATERIALS.
USE OF THESE CLEANERS CAN DEGRADE, SCRATCH, OR DESTROY THE FINISH.
