Speaker Break-In - GoldenEar Technology Aon Series Owner's Manual

Speaker Break-in

Your new Aon loudspeaker system should sound good right out of the box; however, an extended break-in period
of 40-60 hours or more of normal playing time is required to reach full audiophile performance capability. Break-in
allows the driver suspensions to work-in and crossover components to "heal," resulting in fuller and tighter bass, a
more open "blossoming" midrange and smoother high frequency reproduction.
Speaker Connection
Turn your amplifi er/receiver OFF before performing any connection steps,
in order to prevent accidental damage to your amplifi er.
Your Aon speakers are equipped with a set of 5-way binding posts that can be used with bare wire, pin or spade
connectors or banana plugs. Tighten the posts fi rmly by hand, but do not over tighten them. Make sure all wires
are fi rmly fastened. Always use high quality speaker wire of suffi cient gauge for the distances you are running
(see your dealer for assistance).
For the front Aon speakers, hook up the left main/front channel red(+) terminal of your receiver or amplifi er to
the red(+) terminal of your left loudspeaker and the left main/front channel black(-) terminal of your receiver
or amplifi er to the black(-) terminal of your left loudspeaker. Connect the right channel main/front channel red(+)
terminal of your amplifi er or receiver to the red(+) terminal of your right loudspeaker and the black(-) terminal of
the right main/front channel of your receiver or amplifi er to the black(-) terminal of your right loudspeaker. It is
essential that both speakers be connected in the same way (in phase) to its own channel of the amplifi er. If you
experience a great lack of bass, it is likely that one speaker is out of phase (+ and – reversed) with the other.
If you are using the Aon speaker as surround speakers, hook up the left surround red(+) terminal of your receiver
or amplifi er to the red(+) terminal of your left surround speaker and the left surround black(-) terminal of your
receiver or amplifi er to the black(-) terminal of your left surround speaker. Connect the right surround red(+)
terminal of your amplifi er or receiver to the red(+) terminal of your right surround loudspeaker and the black(-)
terminal of the right surround channel of your receiver or amplifi er to the black(-) terminal of your right surround
loudspeaker. Again, it is essential that both speakers be connected in the same way (in phase) to its own channel
of the amplifi er.
