touch the
Lower Cabinet.
The card spacing jig packed with this
manual can be used to support the bottom edge of the

as
it is fitted. Seen from the side, the
Grille
should continue the
curved form of the front of the
Lower Cabinet.
5.7 Connection
If the loudspeakers are to be used with Naim amplification, Naim
loudspeaker cable will produce the best results and is necessary
with some amplifiers. Cable lengths to both loudspeakers should
be equal and be between 3.5 metres and 20 metres (11.5ft and
66ft). Your local retailer will be able to make up cables of the
appropriate length.
If the
SL2
is to be used in an active system, speaker cables with
their custom Naim plugs should be connected to the appropriate
input sockets on the back of the
Tweeter Suspension Arm
(HF) and
Upper Cabinet
(LF). Ensure that each positive plug
- identified by a rib on the side of the cable and a tag marked
“pos” on the side of the connector body - is inserted to the red
input sockets.
If the
SL2
is to be used in a passive system, the
Passive
Crossover Units
must be mounted to the back of each
Lower
Cabinet.
Screws and decoupling grommets are supplied in the
pack that contains the passive crossovers. Tighten the screws
so that the screw heads just touch the decoupling grommets
without compressing them.
The output cables from the
Passive Crossover Units
must be
connected to the input sockets on the back of the speaker,
the longer cable to the sockets on the back of each
Tweeter
Suspension Assembly
and the shorter cable to the sockets
on each
Upper Cabinet.
The cables should be dressed such
that they do not touch any other
SL2
component and such
that the output plugs align naturally with input sockets. Stress
in the cables will interfere with the decoupling between
SL2
components.
Finally the amplifier output speaker cables, with their custom
Naim plugs, should be connected to the input sockets on the
back of the
Passive Crossover Units.
Ensure that each positive
plug - identified by a rib on the side of the cable and a tag
marked “pos” on the side of the connector body - is inserted to
the red input sockets.
SL2
It is vitally important for correct operation of SL2 that the
Upper
Cabinets
are located properly on the
Lower Cabinets,
that the
Pins
are in place and that the two cabinets only touch via the
spacers.
The alignment of the Tweeter within the Upper Cabinets can
be adjusted via either the two bolts connecting the Tweeter
Suspension Assembly to the Plinth or the four screws that attach
the
Tweeter Adjustment Panel
around the front face of the
Tweeter. If the four adjustment panel bolts are loosened they
should be re-tightened as securely as possible. As well as being
adjusted to sit centrally when viewed from the front, and flush
with the front panel, the Tweeter must oscillate freely without
touching any part of either cabinet.
Finally fit a
Grille
to each
SL2
by aligning it with the top of the
Lower Cabinet
before pushing it gently against the fixing tape
on the
Upper Cabinet.
The lower edge of the
Grille
