LANSCHE AUDIO
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS No.3
Page 6 / 14
If the speakers are too close, the stereo effect is hampered; if they are too far apart, sound is
mainly perceived as coming from either right or left, with an acoustic „gap‟ in the center.
It can be helpful to playback a recording whose spatial arrangement you are familiar with
when setting up the speakers.
Tip:
If possible set your amplifier to “mono.” This allows you to better adjust the center
listening position.
2.2.3. Spikes
For the purpose of acoustic isolation, your LANSCHE speakers come fitted with 8 spikes/cones
which are threaded in to 6mm holes located on the bottom plate
(9)
.
CAUTION:
Floor standing speakers have a high center of gravity and can easily tip
over if improperly positioned or bumped. The buyer is responsible for
taking the appropriate precautions.
2.3. Connecting the Speakers
CAUTION:
Please turn off your amplifier before connecting any speakers. Supply
power to your No.3 only after all necessary connections have been
made to your audio/video components.
Connecting the amplifier
You will find two terminals, plus (red)
(6)
and minus (black)
(5)
on the back side of your
LANSCHE speakers. This is where you connect the speaker to your amplifier.
The following types of connections are possible:
- 4.0-mm banana plugs
Plugged directly into the open sockets. It is not necessary to screw them on.
- Spades (6mm)
Fastened by loosening the terminal „wing nuts‟ and then tightening the spade firmly onto
the gold-plated contact surface.
For every connection, make sure to maximize the contact area and tightly secure the
components to avoid loss of sound quality due to contact resistance. For a continuously
secure and corrosion-free connection, the surfaces of all connecting components should
also be gold plated if possible. Check to make sure that the stripped cable ends are not
touching each other at either the amplifier or speaker. Tighten the screw connections after a
few days, as any of the fasteners may have loosened up.
