Instruction manual
Thank you for purchasing Tangent loudspeakers. 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. The following notes are designed to assist you in obtaining a greater degree of musical
satisfaction from your Tangent loudspeakers. Before connecting your loudspeakers, we suggest
that you read this leaflet carefully.
Amplifier capacity/power handling
Your Tangent loudspeaker system will operate satisfactorily with any good amplifier designed for
use with an 4-8 Ohm impedance load. Allthough Tangent 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 carefull especially with small amplifiers constantly driven on high power levels as these may
be liable to go into »clipping mode« and disort the signal causing possible damage. If you hear a
distordet 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 loud-
speaker is connected to the positive (RED) on your amplifier, and the negative (BLACK) terminal
of your loudspeaker is connected to the negative (BLACK) terminal on your amplifier. Repeat
the instructions for all channels. Do NOT connect more than one loudspeaker to one terminal on
your amplifier.
Phasing
Providing that you have followed the connecting instruction correctly the loudspeakers should be
in phase and provide solid stereo images. If, however, you have any doubt as to the phasing of
the loudspeakers, try reversing the connections (RED & BLACK) to ONE of the loudspeakers, and
play a recording which has plenty of deep bass operating both loudspeakers simultaneously with
the stereo amplifier switched to »mono«. The correct polarity is indicated by firm full bass, when
incorrect, the bass will be noticeably much weaker.
Service
No routine attention is required to the working parts of the loudspeakers and being very reliable
Tangent loudspeakers rarely require service. Any service problems should in the first instance be
referred to your dealer.
Set Up of Speaker System for your Home Theatre
A surround sound system, as a minimum, requires 5-7 loudspeakers. It is important to position
them carefully. Thus we recommend that you work with the arrangement of the speakers in your
system, perhaps our idea of placing the system initially may not suit the way in which your furniture
is arranged.(see page 10)
