Setting Up Your Speaker - Kanto SYD6 User Manual

Setting Up Your Speaker

The SYD6 powered speaker system is designed for either desktop or bookshelf mounting to
enhance your audio listening experience . The SYD6 can also be used as a stand-alone stereo
speaker system or in a 2 .1 home theater setup with a subwoofer . SYD6 is versatile and can be
mated with a multitude of audio sources .
The SYD6 is designed to perform optimally positioned at least 20cm from a rear wall in an
average listening room or if placed in audio-video furniture in a TV set up . A certain amount
of experimentation may be necessary to determine the most suitable position that delivers the
most satisfying sound performance .
As with any rear-ported speakers, moving the SYD6 very close to the rear wall will enhance the
bass frequencies but will tend to reduce soundstage depth, while moving the speakers away
from the rear wall will tend to have the opposite effect . Avoid positioning the speaker close to
the floor or in the corners of the room, as this will excite undesirable room coupling in the low
and middle frequencies . Room characteristics and positioning have a profound effect on the
performance of the speakers, so time and effort devoted to achieving the optimum operating
position will be rewarded .
Ensure that the ON/OFF Switch is in the OFF position .
Follow the instructions on the ensuing pages to connect your audio sources to SYD6 . The
examples in the following pages are not meant to be exhaustive - just examples .
Connect the power cord from SYD6 to the wall outlet .
ATTENTION
When connecting audio cables the ON/OFF Switch must be turned OFF. After connecting all cables, the unit can be
turned ON.
When the volume is high, this system can produce noise levels that could permanently damage your hearing.
SYD6 is a self-powered speaker system. Do not connect the speaker terminals to the speaker outputs of a stereo
amplifier. Damage may occur. Use only the power cord provided with the speakers.
