Setup and connection
Removing the cover grills
• You can remove the cover grills from
the speakers by carefully reaching be-
hind the cover grills and slowly pulling
it off to the front.
• Removing the cover grills improves
the playback of high frequencies in
particular.
• When reattaching the cover grills,
ensure that the installation pins slide
into the corresponding holes on the
speaker.
Crossover frequency
• The optimal crossover frequency for the Consono CS 35 FCR
system is 150 Hz. To the extent possible, set your AV receiver
or your Decoder Station to this value.
• If the satellite speakers are used in a Concept C set, the
crossover frequency is provided by the subwoofer. For the
Concept E sets you define the crossover frequency via the
sound card settings. If you can not specify any settings there,
select at least the setting “small” for the satellite speakers.
Wall mounting
Danger

Improper assembly may result in damage.
• If mounting the speakers on the wall,
make sure that the installation is car-
ried out expertly.
• Only use suitable screws and dowels to
mount the speakers. Verify the carrying
capacity of the walls.
• Hang the satellite speakers up on the
wall using the keyhole opening on the
speaker back side.
• Suitable products (cables, stands and
wall mounts) you can find in our web
shop.

Connecting the AV receiver or PC
Satellite speakers
• Pull the power plug of your AV receiver out of the wall outlet.
• When connected to your PC, unplug the power cord of the
multi-channel active subwoofer from the wall outlet.
• Lay the speaker cables from your AV receiver/multi-channel
active subwoofer to each speaker. These cables should be
high-quality double-wire speaker cable with marked strands.
The cross section should amount to at least 0.75 mm
2
.
• A connector comprising two terminals is located on the back
side of each speaker, to which you
have to connect the speaker cables.
• The terminal clips are colour coded
(red + / black –).
Make sure the polarity is correct!
Connect the like coloured terminals. Otherwise, the
sound quality will suffer.
The speaker connections of your AV receiver or multi-channel
active subwoofer should be marked similarly. The strands of the
speaker cables are marked with different colours or shapes.
1. Split the single wire down to approx.
30 mm on both ends and strip ap-
prox. 10 mm of insulation off of each
cord.
2. Twist the stripped single wire ends
together so that no wire protrudes.
Tin coating is not necessary.
3. Depress the terminal clips and run
the cable end into the corresponding
opening. Releasing the clips locks the
cable end in place.
4. Connect the cables to the other
speakers in the same way.
5. Connect the speaker cables to your AV receiver or multi-
channel active subwoofer. The operating instructions of the
appliance should contain notes on this.
