General Information

Please read these instructions thoroughly before attempting to connect and operate the S1.8Td.

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
carton(s) for future use.
General Care of Your Loudspeaker
Whenever changing speaker wires, interconnect wires or power cords, always turn off all
equipment. There are no user serviceable parts inside.
Your speakers come in a high quality finish that is both attractive and durable. To clean,
use a soft, damp cloth. If your drivers become dusty, dust them with a paintbrush or a brush
vacuum attachment. Do not use a strong or abrasive cleaner.
The grille is covered in acoustic cloth. To keep your grille clear of debris, we recommend
you use a lint roller (like you would use on clothes).

Bass and Loudness Contour Controls

Do not use bass or loudness contour controls. Induction Dynamics' subwoofers produce
very low frequencies without these controls. Use of these controls will make the bass sound
"boomy", obscure higher frequencies, and possibly cause damage.

S1.8Td Location

S1.8Td speakers are freestanding and were designed in such a way that the tweeter will be at
ear level when the audience is sitting. The tweeter reproduces high-frequency audio which
our ears perceive as most directional, so we are most attuned to their level and placement.
A pair of S1.8Tds should be placed a few feet from the front wall of the listening area, six
feet or more apart. Experiment with the distance between the two speakers to achieve an
evenly spread sound stage. Speakers should be at the same height (with the tweeter at ear
level). To optimize bass response, vary the distance of your S1.8Td speakers from the front
wall.
A certified installer will finalize the placement of your S1.8Td speakers in accordance with
the Audyssey MultEQ XT software. For more information, refer to the SX7000d instruction
manual.
