INSTALLATION AND CARE

Precautions regarding the
installation location
Do not install the speaker system in areas exposed
to direct sunlight nor near heating appliances. Such
conditions may result in shrinkage of the wood materials
and finish, leading to deformation of the enclosure,
discoloration, or damage to the speakers.
Conditions considered unpleasant by humans are
detrimental to speakers as well. Providing a comfortable
environment for the speakers will assist them in
demonstrating their best performance. Please maintain
the usage environment as follows:
Temperature: 15 °C to 25 °C (59 °F to 77 °F)
Relative Humidity: 35 % to 65 % (winter)
40 % to 70 % (summer)
 When using room air-conditioners or stoves to rapidly
cool or heat room spaces, take precautions to avoid
excessive dehumidification.
 Avoid placing the speaker near areas such as windows,
as outside air can cause condensation to occur within
the speaker.
Precautions during

installation

 The total weight of this speaker system is 30 kg (66 lbs).
Before installing, confirm that the installation location is
fully capable of supporting this weight
 Due to the weight involved, installation of the
speaker system should be undertaken by a minimum
of two persons, taking care not to pinch fingers
between the speaker and other objects, and
preventing the speaker system from falling.
 Avoid touching the front surface of speaker units,
since you may deform or damage the enclosure mesh
or speaker diaphragms.
Installation
Installation on floor or rack
The bottom surface of the speaker system's cabinet has been
factory installed with slip-resistant insulators, allowing the
speaker system to be installed as is.
Installation using speaker stands (sold separately)
This speaker system has been designed as a "bookshelf" type
speaker. As a result, when mounted directly on the floor, bass
sounds may be amplified as a result of reflection from the floor
surface, potentially creating unpleasant listening effects. In
such cases, a speaker stand can be used to elevate the speaker
from the floor surface. In general, optimum performance will
be produced by mounting the speaker system so that the high-
range speakers (tweeters) are roughly at the listener's ear level.
In addition, to prevent dangerous tipping or falls, be sure to use
screws to fix the speaker system in place. We recommend the use
of the speaker stand TAD-ST2 for this purpose. For details consult
the TAD-ST2 user manual.
 Dedicated Speaker Stand TAD-ST2 (sold separately)
To elicit the best possible performance from the TAD Compact
Evolution One speaker system, TAD has simultaneously
engineered the dedicated speaker stand TAD-ST2 (sold
separately). These stands have been optimized to assure high
damping characteristics and stable barycentric positioning.
