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 play
-
ing sine waves, tone sweeps, break-in cds of any sort, or other generated signals.
Care
Use a lint-free soft cloth, dampened only with warm, slightly soapy water (a small drop of dish soap will do). Do
not use cleaners that contain ammonia, strong solvents, or abrasive materials. Use of these cleaners can degrade,
scratch, or destroy the finish. Polish wax for cars can be used to give the enamel paint a new fresh look when
needed. Same procedure as for waxing a car.
Connections
All connections should be made with all electronic equipment (amplifiers, preamplifiers) turned off. There are four
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.
Loudspeaker single wire connection
Single wire connection offers use of only one speaker
cable between the amplifier and the loudspeaker.
A cable link is needed to link together the HF and
LF section. You can use the link that comes with the
speaker but we recommend using a link of similar
quality or brand as your speaker cable.
Loudspeaker bi-wire connection
Bi-wiring separates the signal paths to each section
of the speaker and can improve both stereo imaging
and detail resolution. It also enables the use of differ-
ent types of cable for each frequency band.
Loudspeaker bi-amplification connection
Bi-amplification goes a stage further and involves the
use of two independent power amplifier channels for
each speaker. This is not the same as a fully “active”
drive as the speaker’s internal passive crossover is still
used. If bi-amplification is employed, ensure that each
amplifier channel has the same gain, otherwise
the speaker’s tonal balance will be distorted.
