- Page 5 We wish you many hours of high-fi delity listening. The Burmester Team The Burmester Ambience 71 owes its lean elegance but elemental bass power to the partitioning of its diaphragm surface area into four identical, compact, front-fi ring woofers. A bass refl ex port provides support in the lowest range. Two woofer/mid- range drivers per loudspeaker guarantee masterful, well-balanced sound reproduction up to the treble register.

UNPACKING AND SETTING UP THE LOUDSPEAKERS Set-up Carefully remove the speakers from the transportation packaging and place them in a suitable location. Avoid direct sunlight, dust, and moisture. 4.3.1 Correct positioning The speakers can be easily integrated in virtually any interior. Optimal acoustics can be achieved by positioning your speakers so that they create an equilateral triangle, with the third point being the listener (as seen from above). -
Page 11: Using Spikes
When using the speakers on resonant fl ooring (such as parquet or laminate fl oors), Burmester recommends the use of spikes for acoustic decoupling from the fl oor. Suitable spikes are included in the scope of delivery. The undersides of the housings are each equipped with fi ve threaded inserts for screwing in the spikes. -
Page 12: Connection Terminals
Connection terminals Burmester uses the same terminals for its speakers as it does for its power amplifi ers. These terminals have proven their worth many times over in terms of function and sound quality. Cable lugs soldered to the stripped speaker cable ends ensure optimal contact and minimal contact resistance. -
Page 13: Connection Cables
CONNECTING THE LOUDSPEAKERS Connection cables Burmester recommends the use of cables with a large cross-sectional area to connect the speakers to the power amplifi ers. The large cable cross-sectional area preserves the damping factor of the amplifi ers for optimal speaker control. -
Page 14: Bi-Wiring Connection
CONNECTING THE LOUDSPEAKERS Bi-wiring connection Bi-wiring is a means of separately connecting the woofers and mid-range/tweeters of a loudspeaker to one amplifi er channel. Stereo reproduction with bi-wiring therefore also only requires one dual-channel (stereo) amplifi er. Bi-wiring has acoustic advantages over the classic connection type. -

Position two mono power amplifi ers near each of the two speakers. Connect the preamplifi er to the mono power amplifi ers as shown above. You will need two optional Burmester bi-amp adapters or adapter cables. Please contact your specialist dealer for assistance. - Page 18 OPERATING THE LOUDSPEAKERS NOTICE Incorrect wiring or excessive sound levels Incorrect wiring or excessive sound levels can damage the system components. ► Before switching on the system, check all cable connections for correct polarity (positive, negative). ► After re-wiring, slowly increase the volume until you are certain that everything is connected correctly.
