  • Page 2: Room Treatment

    ROOM TREATMENT Good sounding rooms have a well-balanced acoustic. This does not mean that your home needs to look like a recording studio. Commonly found furnishings bookshelves, carpeting and furniture all exhibit beneficial amounts of absorption and dispersion. Rooms with little furniture, carpeting or other surfaces will demonstrate poor damping and will produce a hard, bright sound.
  • Page 3 It is also recommended, that the area around your speakers remain uncluttered, allowing for unob-structed dispersion of the audio signal. Please give the speakers around 30 hours of initial playing time prior to critical listening. As with any loudspeaker, playing time is required to allow both mechanical and electrical devices in the loudspeaker to break-in.
  • Page 4 mounting device, unrivalled in its ability to provide the best environment for superior sound quality. Three positions are afforded by this bracket, enabling the speaker to be angled toward the listening positioning for best performance. The bolts that fix the angled position presses the cabinet against a rubber decoupling device, there-fore damping and silencing the interface point between wall and speaker.

  • Page 6 MOUNTING WEBERN & BERG A. On wall application: To prepare the speakers for wall mounting: 1. Please put on the enclosed gloves to avoid fingerprints. 2. Remove the aluminium inlays on the top and bottom of the speakers. As they are attached with magnets, they simply lift off.
  • Page 8 To attach the wall-mounting device to the wall: ATTENTION: For best performance, it is recommended that the speakers be angled toward the listening position. This means that special attention must be paid when mounting the brackets. If you have chosen to mount a pair of speakers with the tweeters on the inside, mount the bracket with the thin flat profile to the inside.
  • Page 10 To attach the speaker to the wall-mounting device: ATTENTION: As both WEBERN or BERG are symmetrical in driver orientation (having not top or bottom) selecting an orientation position for the speakers so that the tweeters face in or out, as well as up or down, can be done to suit the nature of each installation.
  • Page 11 attach t he speaker to the bracket by tightening completely the upper conical tipped bolt with the hexagonal tool (Allen wrench/ key). Please make sure that you use the same conically milled point on both, lower and upper, inlays. ATTENTION: For safety reasons it is recommended that all connection bolts be tightened every six months.
  • Page 12 (two in each speaker, two in each spacer bar and two in each base) match. ATTENTION: The Vienna Acoustics logo on the base faces the front. 6. Now attach the stand by completely tightening the two supplied bolts using the hexagonal tool...
  • Page 14 ACCESSORIES FOR WEBERN & BERG FREE STANDING BRACKET: BRACKET: 1 pc. SPACER BAR: 1 pc., for connection between the speaker and the bracket. BOLTS: 2 pcs. M6 x 45 mm HEXAGONAL TOOL (Allen wrench/key): 1 pc. for adjusting the bolts. BANANA PLUGS: 2 pcs., silver plated, short version for convenient connection of speaker cables.
  • Page 15 BOLT: 2 pcs. for connecting the cabinet with the wall mounting bracket. PLASTIC SOCKETS: 2 pcs. to avoid scratches when inserting and adjusting bolts. BOLTS: 4 pcs. M6 x 20 mm for attaching the inlays to the cabinet. HEXAGONAL TOOL (Allen wrench/key): 2 pcs. for adjusting the screws and bolts.
  • Page 16 CABINETS To ensure the best possible appearance, the surface of the aluminium line is treated with the highest grade of aluminium processing. After being precisely machined and CNC milled, aluminium parts bead blasted transparently anodized. To maximize internal volume, we profited from the stiffness of aluminium to realize a slim walled cabinet.
  • Page 17 CONNECTIONS All connections must be complete and secure, since poor contact between speaker cable and input connector can lead to degradation of sound quality. The speakers come with a set of two silver plated banana plugs in which the speaker wire is inserted and held in place by screwing down the insert post.
  • Page 18 CABLING We encourage and recommend the use of high quality speaker cables and believe them to be an important tool for the enthusiast in obtaining maximum enjoyment from their music reproduction system. High quality cabling is a significant tool in the fine-tuning of any audio system.
  • Page 19 It is important to listen carefully to the match of amplifier and loudspeaker to ensure that the com-bination works well sonically for you. Though rated amplifier wattage bears little correla-tion to either sound quality or drive capability, the user is cautioned that amplifiers of lower power ratings, more frequently than more powerful ampli-fiers, are particularly prone to producing danger-...
  • Page 20: Maintenance

    MAINTENANCE Your speaker cabinets cleaned periodically with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use any chemical detergents. Should spots or stains appear, clear water can be used to gently remove them. Should the bass drivers become dusty, it is safe to use a soft brush to clean the woofers.
