Connecting
Danger
Danger of injury/damage!
Arrange the cables so that they do not pose a
trip hazard.
• Pull the power plug of your AV receiver or multi-channel ac-
tive subwoofer out of the socket.
• Lay the speaker cables from your AV receiver or multi-chan-
nel active subwoofer to each speaker. These cables should
be high-quality double-wire speaker cable with marked
strands. The cross-section should amount to at least 0.75
mm
2
.
• A connector comprising two terminals is located on the
back side of each speaker, to which you have to connect the
speaker cables.
• The terminal clips are each marked red (+) and black (-).
Make sure the polarity is correct!
Connect the like coloured terminals. Otherwise, the
sound quality will suffer.
The speaker connections of your AV receiver or multi-channel
active subwoofer should be marked similarly. The strands
of the speaker cables are marked with different colours or
shapes.
1. Split the single wire down to approx. 30 mm on both ends
and strip approx. 10 mm of insulation off of each cord.
2. Twist the stripped single wire ends together so that no wire
protrudes. Tin coating is not necessary.
3. Turn the connector terminal counterclockwise until loose.
Run the stripped cable end into the now visible hole. Close
the terminal by turning it counterclockwise. The cable has
now been clamped in place.
4. Connect the cables to the other speakers in the same way.
5. Connect the speaker cables to your AV receiver or multi-
channel active subwoofer. The operating instructions of the
appliance should contain notes on this.
Crossover frequency
• The optimum crossover frequency for VT 12 speakers on the
AV receiver is 1
0
0 Hz. If possible, set this value on your AV
receiver.
• If connecting to a multi-channel active subwoofer, the crosso-
ver frequency is automatically provided by the respective
subwoofer.
Removing the protective grids
• You can remove
the protective grids
from the speakers
by carefully reaching
behind the protec-
tive grid and slowly
pulling it off to the
front.
• Removing the protective grids improves the playback of high
frequencies in particular.
• When reattaching the grids, ensure that the installation pins
slide into the corresponding holes on the speaker.
Setup
The enclosed rubber buffers allow for a safe setup with low
resonance. Af
fi
x one rubber buffer in each corner of the
speaker bottom.
Note
Our website contains comprehensive notes for correct setup.
You can
fi
nd mounting materials especially adapted to these
speakers (cables, speaker stands, wall mount brackets and
isolation pads) in our webshop in the “Accessories” area.
A threaded hole on the speaker bottom is intended for mount-
ing the VT 12 speakers on an speaker stand. Upon shipment,
the threaded hole has a screw inserted, which you will have to
unscrew before assembly.
