THE ULTIMATUM XL6 LOUDSPEAKER
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Congratulations on choosing the ULTIMATUM XL6 loudspeakers. Used correctly, they will provide a lifetime of beautiful
music. Please read the following notes in order to get the best from them.
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 XL6 loudspeakers are packed in two cartons, with the plinths and fixings in a third carton.
Place the XL6 upside down on a clean, non-abrasive surface. Place the plinths on the bottom of the cabinet and line up
the screw-holes with those on the cabinet. (The countersunk holes on the plinth should be facing towards you.) Fit the
countersunk screws with the supplied 4mm allen key.
Return to upright, place the XL6 in required position, then loosen the locking collars on the spikes (the 4mm allen key
can be inserted into a hole in the side of the locking ring to release it, if necessary).
Level the speaker by turning the spikes with the supplied 6mm allen key. When level, tighten the locking collars. (They
can be easily tightened by hand.)
YOUR SYSTEM
It is important to extract the maximum of recorded information from your chosen source components. This means using
the very best possible electronics. Cabling should also be of appropriate quality as the ULTIMATUM XL6 may reveal
deficiencies in this area.
CONNECTIONS
The ULTIMATUM XL6 is intended for 'bi-amping' or 'bi-wiring'. 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).
Where a single set of cable connections is desired, link the two black terminals together, likewise the two red terminals,
using the same type of cable as used for the amp to speaker connection.
Where bi-amplification is being considered, it is advisable to consult a dealer, or Neat Acoustics, for advice.
