In Two-Speaker Stereo Mode Or Checking Phase Between Speakers; Verify System Operation And Loudspeaker Coverage - Niles ROCK SPAEKER Installation Manual

in tWo-speaker stereo Mode or
CheCking phase betWeen speakers
1. Point the speakers at each other, rather than at the area you want to cover.
2. Play some music with the amplifier or receiver set to Mono.
3. Stand so you are the same distance from each speaker and listen to the
richness of the bass and the loudness of the sound.
4. Turn off the amplifier and reverse the connections on one speaker only.
5. Repeat the listening test with the same setting of the volume controls. If the
current sound has a richer bass and is slightly louder than the previous sound,
the speakers are working together and are "in-phase". Leave the speakers
connected to the amplifier in this configuration. If the current sound is not
richer in bass or louder than the previous sound, turn off the amplifier and
reverse the connections of the wire you moved in step 4.

Verify systeM operation and loudspeaker CoVerage

1. Turn the system "On" and play music to the speakers. Set the Volume controls
to a level that allows the speakers to be easily heard over the "noise" in the
area.
2. Verify that music is playing through each speaker. If not, troubleshoot the
wiring and make sure each speaker is electrically connected to the amplifier.
3. Verify that each speaker is connected to the proper channel of the amplifier.
To do this, change the balance of your speakers on your amplifier or receiver
so that one channel is at playing loudly and the other is not. Verify that each
speaker or each side of the speaker is attached to the proper channel of the
amplifier. If they are not, correct the wiring on the loudspeaker that is not
connected properly. Reset the balance on the amplifier or receiver so both
channels have a similar volume level.
4. If you used a volume control between the amplifier and the speakers, verify
that it is controlling the volume of the loudspeakers in its zone. Repeat this for
every volume control in the system. If any are not, correct the wiring.
5. Point the loudspeakers per the layout and verify that the sound is even and
consistent throughout the area.
