Mounting and connecting tips

Mounting
The XTZ 80 CENTER can be mounted both on a wall, on
alternatives
stands or on a shelf.
The bass reflex gate is placed on the rear, so when mounting
the speaker near a wall you should use the two supplied bass
plugs in the bass reflex gates in order to avoid blowing
sound.
Apart from the shield it works just like any "normal"
loudspeaker, thus it may be used as a satellite/monitor
speaker as well. It works just as fine when standing as when
lying down.
Connect using
Always connect using the correct phase, from the +-pole on
the correct the amplifier to the +-pole on the loudspeaker and
phase corresponding for minus (-).
Working range
When connected normally you utilize the whole frequency
range of the loudspeaker. If you wish the bass tones only to
be reproduced by a powered subwoofer, thus that the center
speaker should only reproduce midrange and treble tones,
you should make sure that the amplifier removes the bass
tones. On modern amplifiers/receivers you normally have
the possibility of setting the loudspeaker as small or big. If
present, you should set them to small.
Overload
At high load during extensive time periods, there is always
the risk of overloading the driver and amplifier.
The initial It takes about 50 to 100 hour of initial playing time, for the
playing time
driver to sound optimal. During this time, the speaker may
be normally used.
If you by accident connect the other way,
there is no risk of damage. However, the
sound will not be correct, especially in the
lower frequencies.
All loudspeakers have a limited patience for
high power, so be careful not to play
extremely loud and not to increase trebble
or bass settings to much.
By increasing the bass or treble from 0 to
max you will increase the power by about 16
times.
