Connection Instructions - Sonus Faber IL CREMONESE Owner's Manual

SIDE GRILLES
1. Identify the right and left side grilles using the marks on
the aluminium bar of each grille (fig. 10);
2. fit the pins of the bars of the side grille in the relevant
guides, starting from the bottom part of the speaker
If you wish to disassemble the front and side grilles, first pull the bar pins out starting from the top of the speaker, then move to
the base.
IMPORTANT: While mounting or removing the front and lateral grilles as described above, be careful not to damage
the front part of the speaker, the leather sides and the lateral subwoofers.

CONNECTION INSTRUCTIONS

This operation must be carried out with all equipment switched off!
The rear panel of Il Cremonese features two pairs of terminal boards, one pair for the positive polarity, and the other for the
negative polarity (fig. 12). These accept connection with spade connectors, bananas, and with bare cables.
Inside the package, all the connection jumpers are already installed on the terminal board of Il Cremonese.
Please find below a description of the different connections; the sequence of these connections is marked by a progressive
escalation in the quality of the sound reproduction in terms of definition, control and details.
MONO-WIRING
OR STANDARD CONNECTION
The standard connection requires a single stereophonic
amplifier or a pair of monophonic amplifiers, together with a
single kit of power cables.
The connection shall be made by leaving the terminals
connected one to the other by means of the jumpers, as they
are already set when the speaker is unpacked, and as shown
in figure 12 .
BI-WIRING
This type of connection improves the general reproduction
quality, and in particular the detail resolution at low
frequencies. It is performed by using a single stereophonic
amplifier or a pair of monophonic amplifiers, together with
two sets of power cables, as shown in figure 13 .
and pull the elastic bands of the grille until the pins of
the grilles bars are fitted in the relevant guides in the
top of the speaker (fig. 11).
BI-AMPLIFICATION
Bi-amplification improves the reproduced sound in
general, and ensures greater dynamics and control of bass
frequencies in particular. To produce this configuration with
either two stereo amplifiers or four mono amplifiers, you need
to use two pairs of power cables and remove the jumpers.
A stereo amplifier (or a pair of mono amplifiers) is used to
amplify the medium-acute range and the second amplifier
will power the low range. See figure 14 .
Finally, the accurate tightening of the contacts and a periodic
check of these contributes to improved performance.
