frequencies up to 150 Hz; the midrange driver reproduces
the frequencies up to 5.5 kHz. The crossover used in your
PARSIFAL OVATION is a mix of 1
woofer and midrange units and 3
mids and high frequency units.
Just like all Verity Audio loudspeakers, The PARSIFAL
OVATION works
characteristics to produce
performances. Despite its small size, the PARSIFAL
OVATION loudspeaker provides a low frequency extension
down to 25Hz.
The midrange unit has been optimized for maximum cone
rigidity without breakup resonance. This special unit is
offering a low level of distortion, extended dynamics range,
high-power handling, and simple dividing network.
The tweeter has been specifically designed to give
extended, natural and resonance free reproduction of the
harmonic content of all musical instruments. These units
have been integrated with a very carefully designed
crossover that allows each driver to deliver its full potential.
Moreover, all components used are carefully computer-
matched and indexed to enable optimum sound staging
performance.

Packing and Unpacking

Before they left the factory, your PARSIFAL OVATION
cabinets passed an exhaustive quality control procedure to
guaranty their genuine state. Please observe carefully the
following unpacking instructions for maximum product
safety. Once your PARSIFAL OVATION cabinets will be
unpacked, inspect them carefully for any physical damage.
If any transit damage can be noticed, please notify your
dealer immediately and request the carrier's name so a
written claim can be initiated.
Your PARSIFAL OVATION comes packed in two ATA (Air
Transportation Association) approved flight cases with all
the necessary protection accessories. For transportation
purposes, we strongly recommend you to keep and store
all your packaging hardware.
Unless the carrier is notified promptly and all the shipping
cases are available for inspection, the right to claim can be
forfeited.

To identify a proper location for the installation of your
PARSIFAL OVATIONs, please refer to the Room Placement
section of this manual or follow the recommendations of
your dealer.
Once the speakers are properly installed, connect them to
your amplifier by using quality speaker cables. Make sure
that polarities are respected at both ends and that your
bass cables are installed in the proper direction. The positive
input is identified by a red dot located on the connector
plate.
Over tightening the connectors could cause
permanent damage.
For vacuum tube equipment that has multiple output
impedance taps, the four-ohm taps should provide the
best interface with the PARSIFAL OVATION.

Room Placement

Indoors, acoustic intelligibility is of great concern for a
variety of reasons. It requires low background noise levels
and "good" acoustical design. In any room, the reverberant
sound pressure level increases as the acoustic power
increases and decreases as sound absorption in the room
increases and / or sound power flows from the room. The
sound field in a room is composed of two parts, the direct
field and the reverberant field.
The complex theories
uncertainties in predicting the property variations of both
natural and manufactured room materials, and the none
negligible effects of painting, sealing, bracing, furring, and
draping all keep the specification and prediction of room
acoustics from being an exact science. Adding together,
loudspeaker characteristics, the auditory personal taste
and ergonomics make, by practical means, the equation
impossible to solve. The frequent need to evaluate the final
result by listening rather than by purely quantitative
methods gives acoustical tuning a somewhat subjective
aspect.
Nevertheless, knowing what the PARSIFAL OVATION is
capable to do will be your major asset in establishing the
best setup for your loudspeaker. Here are a few simple
rules that will guide you. A good setup will give you fast
transients from bottom-end to top-end, proper image
height and a wide and deep soundstage.
