M60C User Guide
As a Left – Right or a Surround pair
The locations chosen for a pair of M60Cs are crucial to getting the
best possible acoustic result. For two-channel stereo, the two
speakers should ideally be equidistant from the main listening
position, and the same distance apart.
Since it has a horizontal format, the M60C can be mounted on a
strong shelf or on a suitable stand – about which your dealer can
advise.
General guidelines
In order to get the best acoustic performance from your M60C in
your room, you should try to achieve the following:
•
If possible, have the most acoustically absorbent wall in the
room behind the front speakers. They could, for example, be in
front of an open bookcase or curtained window, or on each side
of a bow window.
•
If possible, have each M60C at least 50cm from a corner.
•
If possible, locate the listening position so that your head is at
least 60cm from the wall behind you (unless this is acoustically
absorbent).
Consider the following practical points:
•
If possible, you should locate the M60C so that the electronics
(back) of the speaker are not subjected to long-term strong
sunshine. The back plates should be cool (less than hand-hot)
when the unit is not in use.
•
You should not, if possible, locate a M60C with its back to any
heat source – for example, a central heating radiator.
•
You should not, locate a M60C with its back fully enclosed so
that it cannot dissipate heat from the rear-panel heatsink.
Final adjustments
The best sound possible will only be obtained if the M60C is firmly
mounted and cannot rock.
Operation
Normally the M60C should be left switched on, even when the unit
is not in use. The sound quality of the unit is at its best when the
temperature of the components has reached normal working
levels. This takes about an hour.
The electronics in the M60C use the very latest techniques to
ensure that the idle power consumption of the unit is very low.
This ensures long periods of cool running and low energy
consumption.
All audio equipment should be switched off if you expect to be
away from the installation for an extended period.
