Setting Up The Speakers; Controls And Connections - T+A TLS 20 A User Manual

Setting up the speakers

Each loudspeaker bears a sticker denoting the left and right
unit. They are internally wired for this configuration.
The two front speakers should be positioned in such a way
that they and the listener form the three points of an
approximately equi-lateral triangle.
The minimum listening distance is two metres, and this
should always be observed. This means that the speakers
should also be at least two metres apart in order to satisfy
the triangle rule.
TALIS floor-standing loudspeakers should be positioned at
least 1.50 metres from your TV set, otherwise they could
cause discoloration of the screen image under unfavour-
able circumstances.
Note:
As an option TALIS floor-standing speakers are
available fitted with shielded drive units, should you
wish to position immediately adjacent to your
television.

Controls and connections

The centre speaker features magnetically shielded drive
units as standard, and can safely be used immediately
adjacent to the TV set.
Please bear in mind that the bass response of the loud-
speakers varies according to their position relative to the
wall. Placing them against a wall raises the bass response
by about 3 dB, and positioning them in the corners of a
room increases bass response by about 6 dB.
If you find the bass response excessive, move the speakers
slightly out of the corners or away from the wall.

Internal filter switch for the low bass range. If you
intend to operate the TALIS active speakers in
conjunction with a separate sub-woofer, the filter
should be set to ON.
This filters out the extreme low-frequency part of
the music signal, and thereby increases the
speakers' maximum load capacity. The filter
should be set to OFF if your system does not in-
clude a separate sub-woofer, so that the speakers
transmit the full bass range.

DIN input socket.

DIN output socket for connecting the second
loudspeaker or a sub-woofer.

Mains input socket.
Caution:
TALIS active loudspeakers must only be connected to a
mains supply which satisfies the printed specification.
