Operating Instructions
Congratulations on your choice of The Angstrom
standards, these loudspeakers will give outstanding performance
for years to come. We recommend that you take the time to read
these instructions carefully. They will provide valuable information
that can improve the musical performance of your entire audio
system.
Turn off your Amplifier/Receiver
Turning
loudspeakers prevents short circuits which can damage your
system. You should NEVER change any connection without turning
off your Amplifier/Receiver.
Use dedicated loudspeaker cables
Loudspeakers are normally excited by fairly low voltages (typically less than 40 volts),
but the current they receive, which is measured in amperes, is quite high. Therefore,
the cables that connect your Angstrom loudspeakers to the receiver or amplifier should
be dedicated loudspeaker cables.
Loudspeaker cables are designed to operate with pulsating signals of widely varying
voltage, current and frequency, and should be designed specifically as loudspeaker
cable. When choosing cables, careful considerations should be given to the technical
design of the amplifier/receiver, the distance between the amplifier/receiver and the
loudspeaker, and last but not least, the impedance of the loudspeaker. We suggest you
consult your reseller to ensure a correct audio match.
We recommend that you 'bi-wire' your
Loudspeakers are normally connected by means of a 'twin-lead' cable or wire, (i.e. with
one side for plus signals and one for minus signals).

Summary of Contents for Angstrom Obbligato Rennaisance
- Page 1 Loudspeakers are normally excited by fairly low voltages (typically less than 40 volts), but the current they receive, which is measured in amperes, is quite high. Therefore, the cables that connect your Angstrom loudspeakers to the receiver or amplifier should be dedicated loudspeaker cables.
- Page 2 However, as loudspeakers also consume widely varying currents in the bass, mid-range and treble, it is advantageous to connect separate cables to the loudspeaker’s respective inputs. By so doing, the current drawn is distributed across twice the sectional area, and the cable with current destined for delicate high frequencies need not simultaneously supply current to more power hungry bass drivers.
- Page 3 Obbligato S (stand version) should be mounted on a mass loaded stand. We suggest the matching Angstrom US-24NC stand. Adjusting the bass level These loudspeakers perform best when they are placed somewhere between 80 cm and 150 cm from the nearest wall.
- Page 4 After a ‘break in period’ of approximately 200 hours, they will continue to play optimally for many years providing that they are not over-driven or overloaded. Obbligato NB: It is practically impossible to wear out a pair of Angstrom loudspeakers. Only continuous overloading (caused by excessive volume levels and/or amplifier clipping) will ruin their performance capability and shorten their life.
