Pro-Ject Audio Systems 5S2 Instruction Manual page 4

Dear music lover,
You have just purchased one of the best domestic hi-fi loudspeakers available and we hope you
will enjoy the music they reproduce for many years to come. Before connecting your loud-
speakers and to achieve maximum performance and reliability you should study these
instructions for use carefully.
Safety instructions
Avoid spilling liquids on speaker, connection terminal or speaker cable. Never place any item
containing liquid such as a flower vase on or near the device. Never place any naked flame
sources, such as lighted candles on or near the speakers. The product shall not be used in damp
or wet locations, next to a bathtub, sink, swimming pool or any other similar conditions.
Loudspeaker positioning
Ideally both loudspeakers should be positioned at same level (tweeter in about ear level) and in
same distance from the listener, at least 50 cm from a rear wall, 1 meter from a side wall and ideally
forming an equilateral triangle – see page 3 of this manual. If loudspeakers are placed too close to
each other or too far apart, stereo images will not be fully developed. The listeners distance from
the loudspeakers should be at least equal to and preferably greater than the distance between the
loudspeakers. Tests should be made with both speech recordings and music before deciding upon
final locations.
Bookshelf speakers not only can be placed on bookshelves, whenever possible special speaker
stands may give better results, also dedicated table stands can be used or placement on a wall.
Special absorbers will help to prevent vibration transmission to surfaces. Pro-Ject Audio Systems
offers Speaker stands (SB Stand 70), table stands (Speaker desktop stands), Wall brackets (Speaker
Box wall bracket) and vibration absorbers (Damp it).
