Ohm Acoustics Walsh 1000 Manual

Congratulations! You are now the proud new owner of a pair of Ohm Walsh 1000s! You will hear for yourself the
open, airy treble; the dramatic bass; the open midrange for natural voice reproduction; and the wide sweet-sweep
that allows listeners to hear the same, incredibly detailed three-dimensional stereo imaging from almost any position
in the room!
Following are the simple instructions for installation. It will take some experimenting with room placement to
optimize the performance in your home. Do this at your leisure with a variety of music. No one set-up is best for all
rooms and music.
Connecting the loudspeakers:
The Ohm Walsh 1000 is a floor standing loudspeaker equipped with gold plated binding posts on the back of the
cabinet. These terminals will accept any standard type of wire connector, including bare wire.
Before connecting your loudspeakers, unplug your receiver/amplifier and make sure you have the right kind of
wire. We strongly recommend 12 AWG speaker wire.
Strip no more than ½" of insulation off both ends of the speaker wire with wire strippers, scissors, or a sharp
knife . By twirling the exposed ends between your thumb and forefinger, you can prevent stray strands of wire
from shorting out the terminals.
Leave lots of slack in the speaker wire until after you decide where the loudspeakers should be placed, so the
components can be moved around without straining the connections.
Note that one side of the speaker wire has a ridge or a printed stripe running its entire length, while the other
side is left unmarked. To assure in-phase operation, make sure to connect the marked side of the speaker wire
with the red (positive) terminal on the receiver on one end and the red binding post on the back of your Walsh
1000s on the other end. Then connect the unmarked side of the speaker wire to the negative (ground) terminal
on your amplifier on one end and the black binding post of your Ohm Walsh 1000s on the other. It is important
that you follow this procedure exactly for both loudspeakers, or else they will play out of phase.
