Elura black label Series Quick Start Manual

Unpacking

Carefully remove your new Elura speakers from the box. Inspect the speakers
for transit damage. If you discover damage, contact your dealer immediately.
Save your carton – it is the best possible protection for your speakers should
you ever have a need to move them.

Positioning and Mounting Your New Elura Speakers

Note: the distance between yourself and the point directly between the speakers
should be (roughly 20%) greater than the distance between the two speakers.
Outside placement may be different, due to variances in available mounting areas.
All Elura weather-resistant speakers are equipped with powder-coated ratcheting
aluminum mounting brackets that allow for vertical or horizontal mounting. Be
certain the type of anchor you choose, and the material you are mounting the
anchor into, are capable of holding the weight of the speaker. (Many mounting
anchor systems are available from your local hardware store.) After mounting
the bracket, connect the wire as shown in Figure 2, and loosely secure the
speaker to the bracket using the supplied knobs. Adjust the speaker's angle
for optimum listening area coverage and firmly hand-tighten the knobs.

Hooking Up Your
New Elura Speakers
STOP! – Make sure that you consult your
amplifier's owner's manual regarding speaker
hook-up. Your amplifier should be turned off
throughout this procedure.
Most speaker wire is polarity coded. This
means that each conductor is labeled either
(+) positive or (-) negative. The (+) positive
side may be a different color or texture than
the (-) negative side. On the back of your
amplifier, each channel should be labeled (+)
and (-) as well as color coded red for (+) pos-
itive and black for (-) negative. Elura speaker
terminals are color coded red for (+) positive
and black for (-) negative. Be sure to hook (+)
to (+), (red to red), and (-) to (-), (black to
black). (See Figure 2 on back.) All connec-
tions should be tight. Inspect connections
for frays and stray strands of wire touching
both (+) and (-) terminals.
If you are connecting your Elura speakers to
a conventional low-impedance amplifier, set
the tap setting to 6Ω. If you are connecting
the speakers to a 70 or 100 Volt amplifier, set
the tap setting to the desired watt level, and
avoid overloading the amplifier with too
many speakers tapped at more than the am-
plifer's power rating. (This will cause a short
and, perhaps, damage your equipment.)
