OVATOR S-600 – English
3 Connecting
Ovator loudspeakers incorporate a passive crossover but can be converted for use in
active systems using the appropriate Naim active crossover and multiple amplifiers.
Contact your local retailer or distributor for more information.
3.1 Cables and Connectors
If the Ovator is 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. If the position of a speaker in relation to
the amplifier results in spare cable do not coil the cable
but lay it out back and forth between the amplifier and
speaker.
The Ovator connection terminals are designed to accept
the custom-designed Ovator speaker connector. This
connector is designed to provide the best possible
performance. Other 4mm plugs can be used however the
results will be unpredictable. Your retailer will be able to
make up speaker cables terminated on one end by the
Ovator connector and on the other end by a connector
appropriate to the driving amplifier.

3.2 Connection Polarity
It is important that Ovator loudspeakers are connected
with the correct polarity. Ensure that the positive terminal
on the speaker (marked
+
) is connected to the positive
output terminal on the amplifier and the negative terminal
on the speaker (marked
–
) is connected to the negative
output terminal on the amplifier. Diagram 3.3 illustrates the
Ovator connection panel.
Note:
Naim speaker cable has a rib running down one
side to aid polarity identification. The positive side of Naim
speaker plugs have a small protrusion for identification.
