CONCERT GRAND SERIES

OWNER´S MANUAL

Now, as always, speakers form the most important link in a stereo system. Therefore,

they should be positioned and connected with care. It is our hope that the information

contained within this manual will help you in setting up your new speakers and

provide you with many years of listening pleasure.

Your Vienna Acoustics Team

CABINETS

Our speaker designs feature massive and inert cabinet construction. Vienna Acoustics

cabinets are designed with the latest computer modelling techniques and use a

combination of amorphous materials in order to ensure that they are both stiff and

well damped. Additionally, our designs feature massive, but narrow/slim, front baffles

in order to promote accurate imaging. The combination of precise build construction

using furniture grade finishing techniques and complex internal damping produce

designs capable of accurately rendering music.

All speakers are equipped with spikes, and in some cases bases. Please use them and

care for maximum stability by adjusting the spikes. To protect your wooden floor all

base/spike sets include spike-plates.

Page 2 CONNECTIONS The massive Vienna Acoustics input terminals are designed to accept banana plugs, spade terminals or bare wire connec-tion. Make certain that all connections are well tightened since poor contact between speaker cable and input connector can lead to degradation of sound quality.
Page 3 Many people will simply find it undesirable or disruptive to place speakers in "free space", that is well away from the back wall. Vienna Acoustics loudspeakers may be set-up close to a rear wall, though keep in mind that less toe-in, as described below, will probably be needed.
Page 4 DISTANCE BETWEEN THE SPEAKERS AND TOE-IN Most stereo systems are set-up with their speakers too close together. As a rough guideline, the distance between spea-kers should be about 70 % of the room width as a starting point, assuming that your speakers are aiming down the length of the room. Too close together they will create "ghost"...
Page 5 Some rooms however are very difficult to handle (or your preferred position is pre-determined), in these cases the BCUs are wonderful room tuning devices. Happy Listening! Your Vienna Acoustics Team...
