OPTOMISING SOUND QUALITY
The ultimate sound quality of your sound system relies on a host of variables,
though there are some key points that you should take in to consideration
•
Ensure that all your audio equipment is securely positioned—not just the
loudspeakers. A good quality equipment rack can dramatically impact on
the performance of your complete system.
•
Make sure there is a mix of hard and soft furnishings in your listening
room—to much soft furniture can result in a dull, “closed
- in” sound,
whereas hard furnishings tend to create a very lively sound, which can
sound harsh and also suffer from echoes.
•
Try to remove any unnecessary electrical equipment out of the room– if
powered on, they can create electrical noise that will impact on your Hi
- Fi
system, and in the case of televisions, the large flat screen panel causes
reflections disrupting the stereo image.
•
Use good quality interconnect and loudspeaker cable. With regard to
loudspeaker cable, there are large currents flowing between the amplifier
and speaker, so long lengths of cable should be avoided, as resistance
increases directly with length. Having stated this, it is important that both
left and right channels are both of the same length, even if one
loudspeaker is nearer to the amplifier than the other.
LOOKING AFTER YOUR LOUDSPEAKERS
The only cleaning required should be a light dust with a lint - free cloth - no
harsh cleaning fluids should be used. DO NOT touch the high frequency dome
as this is extremely fragile, and any creases will affect the overall sound quality.
The Low frequency driver can be gently dusted if necessary, but again, care is
required.
Be careful when using heavy speaker cable—this can put a heavy load on the
terminals, which could ultimately break—avoid sudden shocks, such as allowing
the cables to be pulled, or tripped over.
