Unpacking and Assembly
1.
Lay the box down on the floor. Carefully open the packaging on the long side where it has been taped
up, preferably using a pocket knife or kitchen knife.
2. Remove the „Welcome to the Audio Physic Family" package
Now remove the loudspeaker together with its protective foam pads from the box. Make sure that
you do not touch the drivers when removing and handling the loudspeaker as this may cause irreparable
damage to the drivers. Between the loudspeakers there is a drilling template made of cardboard.
It facilitates the mounting of the REFERENCE On-Wall unit on the wall.
Now remove the top foam cover and carefully slide down the protective foil so that you can easily
remove the loudspeaker.
3. Our REFERENCE On-Wall models are fitted with a solid front panel without fabric when delivered
from our factory. If you wish, you can easily exchange this panel for the panel covered in fabric that is also
enclosed with your loudspeaker to suit your tastes. To do so, simply use your fingers to carefully lift off
the fitted panel. Please ensure that you do not touch the drivers when doing so. Once you have removed
the panel, place the fabric-covered panel in its position and softly push it in into place until it is flush with
the loudspeaker cabinet. You do not need to worry about any limitations or loss of sound details when
using either of the panels.
The loudspeakers also include an affixing template for the AUDIO PHYSIC logo on the speakers. This
allows you to affix the logo easily and precisely onto the loudspeakers.
Connecting the Loudspeakers
Your new loudspeakers are electrically configured so they can be readily operated via both a stereo amplifier or a
receiver such as the amplifier integrated in a television set – to the extent that the TV set is equipped with the
appropriate loudspeaker outputs. It's important here to remember to deactivate the loudspeakers of the
television set. Please refer to the relevant instructions in the user manual of your television set.
The REFERENCE On-Wall loudspeakers are fitted with particularly high-quality connectors from the nextgen™
range made by the specialist manufacturer WBT (see the image below).
These connectors feature a torque indicator that helps you to connect cables with spades. They accept both
spades and banana plugs. Loose cable strands oxidise easily and are not suitable for a permanently high-quality
listening experience.
1. Please switch off all devices on your hi-fi system or TV
prior to beginning to connect the loudspeakers.
2. If you are using a loudspeaker cable with spade
connectors, turn the screw clamps to the left until you
can easily slide the spades into the openings at the side.
Push the spades into these openings and turn the screw
clamps to the right until you hear a clicking noise - this
is the torque indicator. Now turn the clamps until they
are hand-tight, which will normally be the case after a few more ‚clicks'.
After this point, you can indeed tighten the clamps even more, but this will not improve the results. In the worst
case scenario, further tightening the clamps may lead to damage to the surface structure of the spade
connectors.
