  • Page 10: About This Guide

    1.4 About this guide This owner’s manual is an important part of your Evidence Platinum and will guide you through unpacking, mounting, placing and connecting your new loudspeaker correctly. Please read carefully and follow all advice step by step in order to achieve the best from your Evidence Platinum.

  • Page 12: Unpacking The Evidence Platinum

    NOTE We strongly recommend that you keep the Evidence Platinum crates and internal pack- aging for future use, be it for the safe transport of the loudspeaker during a move, or in the event that service or support should ever be required.

  • Page 13: Unpacking The Evidence Platinum Base Plinths

    2.1 Unpacking the Evidence Platinum base plinths Open the packaging box marked No. 1 first. This box contains:  This manual including Owners Club card  1x Hex Key 4mm (for mounting the base plinth)  1x Hex Key 3mm (for mounting and adjusting the spike feet)  1x Pair of white gloves  1x Cleaning cloth ...

  • Page 14: Mounting The Base Plinth

    Repeat the above process with the second loudspeaker. CAUTION HEAVY PARTS Unpacking the Evidence Platinum without assistance may lead to personal injuries or damage to your equipment.  Consult your trained Dynaudio dealer for assistance.  It is recommended that two people unpack the loudspeakers.

  • Page 15: Changing The Plinth Feet

    3.2 Changing the plinth feet The Evidence Platinum is delivered with two different types of feet. 1 The loudspeaker comes with the Universal Platinum Feet mounted. This type has an anti-slide, resonance-minimizing rubber ring underneath its lower disc. It is intended for hard floors such as marble, tile, wood, stone or any other similar material.

  • Page 16: Lifting The Loudspeaker

    4 Lifting the loudspeaker For the next step, Dynaudio provides the Loudspeaker Lifter Pad inside the packaging box marked No. 1. NOTE When bringing the loudspeaker upright, this Lifter Pad MUST be used, otherwise the plinth feet may be damaged. Use the Lifter Pad every time when tilting the loudspeaker.

  • Page 17: Positioning The Loudspeaker

    5 Positioning the Loudspeaker Loudspeaker placement The starting point for any setup will be to create a triangle between each loudspeaker and the listening seat. Each side of the triangle should have about the same distance. From this starting point the best possible sound staging and sound balance can be found.
  • Page 18 It is therefore important that any speaker used in a multi-channel setup should offer a similar high level of quality. Angling of the Speakers (Toe-in) Consult your Dynaudio dealer for possibilities to create a multi-channel system with your Evidence Platinum.

  • Page 19: Connecting The Loudspeakers

     Bare wires: Bare wires can be connected by un-tightening the binding posts and placing the cable into the binding Post openings and tightening the posts. Dynaudio recommends using banana plugs or cable spades. 6.2 Connecting the loudspeakers to your amplifier Before connecting the loudspeakers to your amplifier, switch off the amplifier completely.

  • Page 20: Connecting Surround Speakers

    The impact a loudspeaker cable can have on sound quality may be dramatic, though in general quality cable products will yield a quality result. Dynaudio loudspeakers are designed to be very neutral and thus are not extremely suited to any particular type of cable.

  • Page 21: Running-In The Loudspeakers

    A newly unpacked Dynaudio loudspeaker therefore requires up to several weeks run- ning/playing to reach its optimum performance capability. After that period, a couple of minutes before every listening session will be helpful to “warm up” the loudspeakers.

  • Page 22: Improving The Sound Performance

    Any dam- age caused under such circumstances is not covered by the Dynaudio warranty and is easily avoided in the first place by consulting your Dynaudio dealer for advice regarding the choice of amplifier, or you may contact Dynaudio.

  • Page 23: Choosing The Right Music

    8.3 Choosing the right music The Evidence Platinum was designed to reproduce the music faithfully and authentically to the original, and as good as the source, amplifier and cables allow. There is no limit and no focus on any particular kind of music. 8.4 getting the best sound from your room No HiFi equipment, no matter how advanced or expensive, will sound better than the room allows it to.
  • Page 24 If possible, avoid the loudspeaker having equal distance to its side and rear walls. If thick and boom-y bass persists even after careful loudspeaker placement, you may want to consider using dedicated bass-traps. These devices absorb low frequencies rather than reflecting them back into the room. Consult your Dynaudio dealer for room acoustic accessories.

  • Page 25: Better Sound Quality In Your Own Listening Room: Ddc

    Evidence Platinum with DDC in frequency response and phase relationship in such a way that a carefully defined sound radiation characteristic is achieved. The energy radiated to the room’s floor and ceiling is reduced by approximately 75 percent. This makes the Evidence Platinum far less dependent on the room and much less critical in positioning as compared to any other loudspeaker available. Read more about DDC on the Dynaudio website www.dynaudio.com...

  • Page 26: Care And Maintenance

    9 Care and Maintenance Dynaudio loudspeakers require no special treatment apart from the kind of careful han- dling you would normally apply to any other precious product in your home. To maintain the aesthetic quality of the loudspeakers for the long term, placing such in very warm, very cold, or very humid environments should be avoided.
  • Page 27 Make sure the connection between loudspeaker terminal and cable connector is always tight. After some time it may be useful to clean the contact area with special contact cleaner. Please ask your Dynaudio dealer for recommended cleaning products. 9.5 grille Covers Remove dust on the grille cloth covers with a fine furniture brush. The cloth grille is...
