THE MOMENTUM SX7i LOUDSPEAKER
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Congratulations on choosing the MOMENTUM SX7i loudspeakers. Used correctly, they will provide a lifetime of beautiful
music. Please read the following notes in order to get the best from them.
CAUTION! The woofer in the base of the cabinet can be easily damaged.
HANDLE WITH CARE.
RUNNING IN
A 'running in' period of at least 200 hours is necessary to stabilise performance. After this period, a further
gradual improvement will occur over a period of several weeks.
ASSEMBLY
The speakers are packed in two separate cartons, with the tri-laminate feet and fixings enclosed.
1) Unpack and place the speaker upside-down on a clean, non-abrasive surface. Place the feet onto the steel bushes on
the bottom panel of the speaker and line up the inner fixing holes to the threads in the bushes. Fit the supplied M6 fixing
bolts and tighten with the supplied allen key.
2) Screw a spike into each of the outer threaded holes in the feet, so that there is approximately 8mm of the spike thread
showing on the other side of the foot. Fit the locking rings to the spikes, but don‘t tighten them yet.
3) Return to upright, place the speaker in required position. Level the speaker by tilting the speaker carefully and
adjusting the spikes. When the speaker is level and stable, tighten the locking rings.
CONNECTIONS
The Momentum SX7i is supplied with a single pair of terminals as standard, to facilitate single (normal) wiring.
If you have ordered a dual pair of terminals you may bi-wire or bi-amp the Momentum SX7i.
Bi-wiring
is effected by running two sets of cable from the amplifier output terminals. Connect one set to the lower and
one set to the upper terminals on the rear of the speaker. Take care to ensure correct phasing (i.e. red and black
connections maintained at amplifier and speaker). Bi-wiring can bring about a significant change in performance and this
should be evaluated on an individual basis. Some amplifiers will respond better than others, and personal taste is a
strong factor.
Bi-amplification
is highly recommended. This involves the use of 2 stereo amplifiers (or 4 mono amplifiers). When this
mode of operation is being considered, it is advisable to consult a dealer, or Neat Acoustics, for advice.
