Manual (English)
Thank you, for choosing SA. This manual will help you
getting correctly started with your new loudspeakers.
Follow the instructions of the manual to obtain the best
sound. Please, note that the loudspeakers need
approximately 50 hours burn in before the sound is
optimised. There are no special precautions during the
burn in period.
check the serial number
At the rear of the loudspeaker you will find a label with the
serial number. It is a good idea to write the serial number down
on the invoice from the dealer and save it together with your
insurance documents. Contact your dealer if there is no serial
number on the loudspeakers.
connecting the loudspeaker to the amplifier
At the rear of the loudspeaker you will find the input terminal.
This is where you connect the cable from the amplifier output
to the loudspeaker. The red terminal is positive the black is
negative. Make sure that the cable is correctly connected so
that + on the amplifier is connected to + on the loudspeaker.
The right and the left channel should also be correctly
connected. Make sure that the connection is solid and clean.
a good installation of the loudspeakers is vital to obtain a
good sound
Place the loudspeakers 2 or 3 metres apart from each other.
The sound from the loudspeakers should be able to find its
way to your preferred listening position unobstructed.
Be aware that:
•
the bass level is increased when the loudspeaker is
placed close to a wall, and reduced by making the
distance to the wall bigger
•
the sound gets clearer if the loudspeakers are
angled towards the listening position
•
the sound is not optimised if the loudspeakers are
placed high without being angled downwards
•
the sound is not optimised if the loudspeakers are
placed low without being angled upwards
original accessories facilitate the installation
A compact loudspeaker can be freely placed anywhere. SA
has made it easy to use this freedom by having prepared your
loudspeakers for application of wall brackets, ceiling brackets
or floor stands.
In the SA catalogue you will find a list of the different kinds of
accessories. See also

cleaning the SA loudspeakers
The sides of the loudspeakers are cleaned with a moist cloth.
The front grill is carefully cleaned with a vacuum cleaner with a
brush mounted on the mouthpiece. Avoid touching the
membranes of the loudspeakers and do not use any strong
detergents.
special precautions as to the centre channel speaker
A centre channel speaker is to be placed as close to your TV
as possible as it has to give you the impression that the sound
comes from the screen. It is recommended that you place the
centre channel speaker right over or under the TV set in order
to obtain the best sound balance. Alternatively, you can place
it on the wall behind the TV set. Refer to your surround
amplifier manual for correct adjustment of the sound level
between the loudspeakers of the system. The centre channel
speaker is connected to the centre channel output of the
amplifier.
special precautions as to the rear speakers
The rear speakers are placed higher than the other
loudspeakers of the home theatre system, typically higher than
120cm above the floor. They can be placed behind the
listening position or beside it, but never in front of it. The rear
speakers contribute to giving a feeling of “being part” of the
movie. Therefore they must be placed so that you sit in front of
(or opposite) the rear speakers. Refer to your surround
amplifier manual for correct adjustment of the sound level
between the loudspeakers of the system. The rear speakers
are connected to the special rear speaker output of the
amplifier.
