Setting up the speakers
The Impaq 400 can be used in rooms up to about
25 m
2
as a full-quality DVD playback set or stereo
system for listening to music.
The satellite speakers are set up to the left and
right – preferably at the same distance to the
listener – using the table stands or fixed to the
wall. Ideally, the screen is located between the
two speakers.
Select a set-up height of between 40 centimetres
and 1.60 metres.
If these values have to be outside of the recom-
mended range, you can slightly tilt the satellite
speakers up or down towards the listening area.
The location of the subwoofer is freely selectable
and does not affect the other speakers.
Placing it between the two speakers, close to one
of the two satellites, often proves to be advanta-
geous.
Connecting the speakers
To do this, cut the cable to the required lengths.
Strip the plastic coating from the ends of the
speaker cables (as shown). The speakers and am-
plifier have corresponding [+] and [–] terminals.
The [+] line of the speaker cable is marked with
a stripe.
It is important that you observe the correct po-
larity when connecting the satellite speakers: the
plus pole of the speaker to the plus pole of the
amplifier and the minus pole of the speaker to the
minus pole of the amplifier. Connecting the cables
with the incorrect phases can result in thin sound,
weak bass and reduced stereo characteristics.
Connect the speakers to the correspondingly
marked clamp connections on the rear of the DVD
receiver; i.e. the left front speaker to L and the
right front speaker to R.
Depending on the room’s acoustic qualities, it
may be appropriate to exchange the plus and mi-
nus poles (
only
when connecting the subwoofer).
Try out the different options to find out which
sounds better.
Tip
The closer you place the subwoofer to a wall or corner, the
louder you can hear the bass playback.
Installing the satellite speakers
The two IP 400 F speakers can be fixed directly
to a wall using the rear bracket. Before doing so,
ensure that the wall is well-built and is capable of
bearing the load! This bracket is also used to fix
the table stands supplied.
