of the sound picture. Try out different positions before deciding on a final arrange-
ment. And for serious listening - remove the front grill.
We recommend a listening room from 15-50m2, but the speaker can also preform
excellent in even larger rooms. Happy listening!
5. Connections
We recommend the use of heavy gauge loudspeaker cables of high quality. Make
sure to turn off all amplifiers before connecting your new speaker to your Hi-Fi
system.
Connect the cable to the terminal. Use the marking of the cable to ensure that
the red or ”+” mark of the amplifier is connected to the ”+” side of the terminal,
also marked with red. Often there also is a direction mark on the speaker cable.
It can fx. be an arrow or a text pointing in direction to the speaker.
6. Power handling
Qln recommend using amplifiers within a specific power range, see under speci-
fications. However, more important is that the amplifier has sufficient power re-
serves for handling of the peaks and transients in the music signal.
The power-rating figure of a loudspeaker is a very imprecise figure. Since the en-
ergy in the music signal varies, neither peak nor average value is relevant. A power
rating of fx. 100W RMS only says that you can play a continuous tone of 1kHz
at this output. It does’nt mean that you can turn the volume all the way up on a
100W amplifier and expect a clear sound and healthy speakers.
The greatest danger to a loudspeaker is a distorted signal. Distortion in the low
frequency range produces overtones in the entire spectrum, with an energy that
can easily damage the tweeter units. And since a more powerful amplifier can play
louder without distortion, we have the paradox that it is a greater risk to damage
speakers by playing loud with a smaller amplifier.
Caution!
If you hear distortion when you increase the volume this is normally a sign of
overloading the amplifier and you should immediately reduce the output level.
Use of loudness, bass or treble boost increases the risk for harmful distortion
in the amplifier. We recommend that you use such controls with care or by-pass
them if possible.
