IF THE SOUND IS TOO BRIGHT, TOE THE SPEAKERS OUT A LITTLE MORE. IF THE
SOUND IS TOO DULL, TOE THE SPEAKERS IN A LITTLE MORE. REPEAT THE ABOVE
PROCESS WITH THE LOUDSPEAKERS AT THE 4 AND 10 POSITION. THEN REPEAT,
ONCE AGAIN WITH THE SPEAKERS AT THE 5 AND 9 POSITION.
SUMMARY
ONCE THE INITIAL PROCESS HAS BEEN COMPLETED, RETURN TO THE BASS SET-UP
TO ENSURE THAT THE LOUDSPEAKERS ARE THE PROPER DISTANCE FROM THE
BACK WALL. WHEN THE PROCESS HAS BEEN COMPLETED, MARK THE SPEAKER
LOCATION WITH TAPE SO THAT THE SPEAKERS CAN BE RETURNED THERE FOR
FURTHER LISTENING.
POSITIONING—M
6
s IN RELATION TO THE LISTENER
•
THE SPEAKERS AND THE LISTENER SHOULD FORM AN ISOSCELES TRIANGLE.
•
THE LISTENER SHOULD BE EXACTLY EQUIDISTANT BETWEEN THE TWO
LOUDSPEAKERS. THE BEST WAY TO DETERMINE THIS IS WITH A PIECE OF STRING.
PICK A FIXED SPOT AT THE LISTENING POSITION. RUN THE STRING FROM THIS SPOT
TO THE FRONT OF THE TWEETER OF THE LEFT SPEAKER. REPEAT THE PROCESS FOR
THE RIGHT SPEAKER. IT IS CRITICALLY IMPORTANT TO KEEP THIS DISTANCE
PRECISELY THE SAME.
CONNECTIONS
CONNECTIONS SHOULD BE MADE WITH ALL ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT (AMPLIFIERS,
PREAMPLIFIERS) TURNED OFF. THERE ARE TWO TERMINALS AT THE BACK OF THE
SPEAKER. THE TERMINALS ARE INSULATED TO ACCEPT A VARIETY OF CABLE
TERMINATIONS FOR MOST APPLICATIONS AND TO PREVENT ANY LIKELIHOOD OF
ELECTRICAL SHOCK, EVEN WHEN THE SPEAKERS ARE USED WITH THE HIGHEST
POWERED AMPLIFIERS. DO NOT USE TOOLS TO TIGHTEN THE BINDING POSTS.
BREAK-IN
A LOUDSPEAKER IS A MECHANICAL DEVICE AND AS SUCH REQUIRES AN EXTENDED
INITIAL PERIOD OF NORMAL USE DURING WHICH A NOTICEABLE IMPROVEMENT IN
SOUND QUALITY WILL OCCUR. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ACCELERATE THE BREAK-IN
PROCESS BY PLAYING SINE WAVES, TONE SWEEPS, BREAK-IN CDS OF ANY SORT, OR
OTHER GENERATED SIGNALS.
CARE
FOR ALUMINUM PANELS USE A LINT-FREE SOFT CLOTH (PROVIDED IN ACCESSORY
KIT). FOR PAINTED SURFACES, USE A PRODUCT SUCH AS MEGUIAR’S PROFESSIONAL
FINALINSPECTION 34. DO NOT USE CLEANERS THAT CONTAIN AMMONIA, STRONG
SOLVENTS, OR ABRASIVE MATERIALS. USE OF THESE CLEANERS CAN DEGRADE,
SCRATCH, OR DESTROY THE FINISH.
