Satellite Connection
Connecting Aego-T satellites to an audio amplifier
or audio-visual processor is fundamentally a simple
process. If only two satellites are to be connected,
identify the left and right speaker output terminals
on the amplifier connection panel and connect one
satellite to each. If three or more Aego-T satellites
are to be used in a multi-channel home-theatre
system with an audio-visual processor/amplifier,
identify the appropriate output terminal for each
channel (front left, centre, front right, etc) and
connect a satellite to each.
Aego-T satellites are fitted with a pair of binding-
post terminals intended to be used with stripped
wires. Insert a stripped wire end through the cross-
hole of each terminal and tighten the terminal
sleeve. Take care when connecting cables not to
touch the negative and positive terminals together.
Make connections with all system electronics
switched off.
It is important when connecting Aego-T satellites
to ensure that each is connected with the same
polarity. Positive speaker terminals should always
be connected back to amplifier positive terminals,
and negative speaker terminals connected back to
amplifier negative terminals. Performance will be
seriously degraded if connections are made with
incorrect polarity.
Choice of cable type to connect Aego-T satellites
will be influenced by the characteristics of other
components in your hi-fi system and your dealer or
distributor will be able to advise. Even so, there are
some simple guidelines to consider:
•
Cable runs to each speaker should be kept as
short as possible consistent with each being
of equal length.
•
Short cable runs are especially important if
the cable is of relatively small cross-sectional-
area.
•
If the cable is advertised as “directional” care
should be taken to ensure that its orientation
is as recommended.
Aego-T Satellite Amplifiers
The Aego-T satellite is a relatively high sensitivity speaker that does not
require a generously rated power amplifier for adequate volume levels to be
achieved in an average listening room. A minimum of 25 and maximum of
100 Watts into 8 Ohms per channel is recommended. Aego-T satellites also
offer a relatively easy load to the amplifier and do not make unusually heavy
demands on its power delivery.
No overload protection systems are fitted to Aego-T satellites so it is possible
to cause damage through over-driving. Such damage can occur whatever the
power rating of the amplifier and is not covered by any warranty. If ever the
sound at high volumes becomes distorted your speakers are at risk of damage.
In such circumstances the volume must be reduced.
Subwoofer Connection
The Aego-T subwoofer requires connection both to mains power and an
appropriate subwoofer line-level output signal. The connection sockets are
located on the back of the subwoofer. Leave the subwoofer switched-off at
the mains until all connections are made and ensure that the subwoofer level
control, also located on the connection panel is turned fully anti-clockwise.
Connect the subwoofer to the audio-visual processor subwoofer output using
an appropriate RCA Phono connection cable. Ensure that the cable is of good
quality.
After checking that the mains voltage selector on the subwoofer connection
panel is set correctly, connect the subwoofer via its IEC mains input to a mains
wall socket. Use only the mains cable supplied with the subwoofer.
