Page 4: General Information
General Information Please read these instructions thoroughly before attempting to install and operate the ID1 or A2 amplifier. Check Speaker and Parts Unpack and carefully check each loudspeaker. If you suspect damage from transit, report the problem immediately to your dealer and/or delivery service. If possible, save the shipping cartons for future use. Please ship the foam packing material to: Induction Dynamics, 10661 Rene, Lenexa KS 66215. General Care of Your Loudspeaker and Amplifier Whenever changing speaker wires, interconnect wires, or power cords, always turn off all equipment. To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose the amplifier to rain or excessive... -
Page 5: Amplifier Location
It is not recommended for placement behind walls or other limited access locations, where service may be restricted. Carpet Spikes Carpet spikes are not required with the ID1. However, they have been provided if you would prefer to use them. Should you choose to do so, lay the ID1 on its back side, then screw the carpet spikes into the threaded holes under the base of each speaker. -
Page 6: Speaker Information
Speaker Information S4X™ Crossover The heart of Induction Dynamics® is found in the S4X™ Super Fourth-Order Crossover. The patented S4X inductively couples crossover coils and optimizes each driver’s performance, individually and interactively with the other drivers. This greatly increases control over driver range, frequency response, phase and impedance. Because S4X produces such a steep crossover slope−and thus a flatter frequency response−Induction Dynamics is able to... -
Page 7: Wide Angle Phase Alignment
This produces a horizontal zone in which the sound is optimized; however there may be drastic differences in sound quality along the vertical axis—meaning there may be a loss of sound quality if you stand up, sit, or otherwise move out of the optimized zone. Induction Dynamics® eliminates phase differences with respect to height through our Wide Angle™ phase alignment technology. Because our patented circuitry provides additional variables that can help control phase, Wide Angle finds the one optimization solution that produces a flat frequency response along the vertical axis, when the microphone (or listener’s ear) is moved up and down vertically. This means you experience true audio perfection... -
Page 8: Subwoofer Design
Dual Loudspeaker Switch In order to provide greater flexibility and cater to listeners’ preferences, Induction Dynamics® includes a unique switch on the ID1. This toggle switches the lower crossover in and out, allowing users to operate their speakers as either a 3-way plus subwoofer (home theater) or as a 4-way (stereo). To listen to these speakers in stereo mode, powered by a single stereo amplifier, place the switch in the 4-way position. In this mode, a passive crossover between the subwoofers and the other drivers will be switched into the circuit, meaning all of the drivers in each speaker are powered by one signal from each channel of a single stereo amp. -
Page 9: Two-Channel (Stereo) Installation
Connecting Speakers in Stereo Mode In normal 2-channel operation, one stereo amplifier is used. For this configuration, the jumper bars on the binding posts should be left in place and the switch on the back of the ID1 should be set to “Four-Way Loudspeaker”. The speaker cable can be connected to either the upper or lower binding posts. Connect the red (positive) amplifier post to the red (positive) speaker post. Connect the black (negative) amplifier post to the black (negative) speaker post. Recommended speaker wire size will depend on the distance from your amplifier to your speaker (see chart on page 4). -
Page 10: Multi-Channel (Home Theater) Installation
Multi-Channel (Home Theater) Installation Speaker Placement The ID1 makes ideal main (left and right channel) speakers for a home theater, while also providing two dual 10” subwoofers powerful enough for a large room. Two ID1s mean a total of four subwoofers. Using multiple subwoofers improves efficiency, lowers distortion, and reduces the incidence of low frequency nulls in the listening area, resulting in a better overall audio experience. 5.1 System A 5.1 system consists of a front left, front right, surround left, suround right, center channel, and subwoofer channel. A pair of ID1s provide front left, front right, and subwoofer speakers. In a home theater configuration, the center channel should be centered between the left and right front channels and as close to listening height as possible, either above or below the screen (preferably below the screen). The surround channels should be placed to either side of the listening area or behind the listening area at listening height. -
Page 11: Id1 Main Speaker Connection
“Three-way + Subwoofer”. Connect the left and right amplifier channels to the top binding posts on the ID1 using normal polarity (red to red and black to black). Subwoofer Amplifier Interconnect The ID1 is designed to be used with the A2 subwoofer amplifier (designed and built by Induction Dynamics). The A2 subwoofer amplifier is designed to integrate with audio/video pre-amplifiers and receivers that have their own built-in low-frequency crossover circuits, typically containing optional crossover frequency settings. If the crossover frequency is selectable, the recommended setting for the ID1 is 80 Hz with the subwoofer connected in reverse polarity (see below under Subwoofer Connection). - Page 12 Method #1 Method #2 Method #3...
