CONNECTION
Speaker Cable
The 3-metre speaker cable is to connect the passive (slave) speaker. You have the choice of fitting
the screw-on banana plugs supplied with the speakers, or simply using bare wires. We recommend
using 4mm plugs. If you want to extend the cable, please do so in one length, not by adding to the
existing cable. Shorting the speaker cable can cause damage to the built-in amplifier.
Be sure to connect the speakers in phase. Maintain the same polarity by connecting the red and
black terminals on one speaker to the red and black terminals on the second speaker. Be sure to
match the gold-coloured side of the speaker wire to the red terminals on both speakers.
Power Cord
Verify that the power switch on the rear of the active speaker is in the off (0) position. Check that the
voltage switch is set to the right voltage for your country. Check with your dealer if you are unsure.
Connect the power cord into the speaker and the other end into the wall outlet. Switch the system on
(1) with the power switch on the rear panel.
POSITIONING
It is always worth remembering when positioning hi-fi speakers, that your room acoustics have a
huge impact on the overall sound quality. As a consequence, there are no hard and fast rules when
specifying placement, so we would always recommend that you try a few different locations to see
what works best for your particular taste.
As a rule, your speakers should be equidistant from side walls and at least 15-30 cm (6-12 ins) from
a rear wall. The ideal height would be when tweeters are at eye or ear level when listening.
