Dear music lover,
You have just purchased one of the best domestic hifi loudspeakers available and we
hope you will enjoy the music they reproduce for many years to come.
Before connecting your loudspeakers and to achieve maximum performance and reliability you should study
these instructions for use carefully.
Safety instructions
!
Avoid spilling liquids on speaker, connection terminal or speaker cable. Never place any item
containing liquid, such as a flower vase on or near the device. Never place any naked flame sources,
such as lighted candles on or near the speakers. The product shall not be used in damp or wet locations,
next to a bathtub, sink, swimming pool or any other similar conditions.
Unpacking
–
mounting of base
Every loudspeaker is packed in its individual cardboard box and contains all necessary parts:
1 Speaker box 10 E floorstand speaker
1 Base plate
4 Spike feet with counter nuts
4 Crossed slot screws
Step 1: Place Speaker Box 10 E upside down (ideally on a carpet, not to scratch top surface).
Step 2: Position base plate, so that mounting holes fit holes in box
Step 3: Secure base plate with 4 mounting screws
Step 4: Mount all 4 spike feet, screwing completely into the nuts of base plate
Step 5: Place speaker Box 10 E with base and spikes onto the floor
(spike discs can be added to avoid scratches on the floor)
Loudspeaker positioning
Ideally the loudspeakers should be positioned at least 50 cm from a rear wall, 1 meter from a side wall and
at least 2 metres apart. The space between the two loudspeakers and the distance to the listeners are
important. If loudspeakers are placed too close together or too far apart, stereo images will not be fully
developed. In average living rooms, speaker spacing between 2 and 4 metres will usually produce
satisfactory results. The listeners distance from the loudspeakers should be at least equal to and preferably
greater than the distance between the loudspeakers. Tests should be made with both speech and music
before deciding upon final locations.
Amplifier capacity - power handling
Your loudspeaker system will operate satisfactorily with any good amplifier designed for
use with an 4-8 Ohm impedance load. Although loudspeakers are designed to handle high
power loadings, you must remember that any loudspeaker that is abused with excessive use
of volume, tone controls and graphic equalisers is likely to cause damage to the drive-units.
Be careful especially with small amplifiers constantly driven on high power levels as these may
be liable to go into „clipping mode“ and distort the signal causing possible damage. If you
hear a distorted signal through the loudspeakers you must reduce the power level.
Connecting to your amplifier
We strongly recommend the use of high quality speaker cables, colour coded or grooved cables are
recommended to assist checking polarity, your local dealer should be able to advise you on this point.
Always switch OFF your amplifier before making any connections or adjustments to the system. Wire the
right-hand channel cable so that the positive (RED) terminal of your loudspeaker is connected to the positive
(RED) on your amplifier, and the negative (BLACK) terminal of your loudspeaker is connected to the negative
