Carton Contents

Check in the carton for:

1 Plinth

4 M6 allen screws

1 M6 allen key

1 Foam plug (683 only)

2 Foam plugs (684 only)

1 Accessory pack containing:

4 M6 spike feet

4 M6 rubber feet

4 Lock nuts (10mm across flats)

Speaker Installation

The speakers are intended to be floor mounted only. It

is important to ensure the speakers stand firmly on the

floor using the plinth and, whenever possible, the spike

feet. To attach the plinth, stand the speaker on its top

taking care not to damage the cabinet or the drive units

during handling. Align the plinth with its attachment

holes in the underside of the cabinet ensuring that the

arrow on the underside of the plinth points forwards.

Secure the plinth using the four screws supplied.

Tighten the screws using the allen key supplied.

The spike feet are designed to pierce carpet and rest

on the floor surface. Initially, screw the lock nuts onto

the spikes enough to leave the nuts floating just above

the carpet when the spikes are resting on the floor

beneath. Screw the spikes fully into the threaded

inserts in the base of the plinth. Return the speaker to

the upright, again, taking car

e to avoid damage during

handling. Figur

e 1 illustrates attachment of the plinth

and spike feet.

If the cabinet rocks when placed in position on the

floor

, unscr

ew the two spikes that do not touch the

floor until the cabinet rests firmly without rocking.

Finally, lock all the nuts against the plinth. It may be

mor

e convenient to fit and adjust the spike feet after

speaker positioning has been optimised.

f there is no carpet and you wish to avoid scratching

the floor surface, use either a protective metal disc (a

oin perhaps) between the spike and the floor or use

the supplied rubber feet. Fit the rubber feet by

crewing one into each of the holes in the underside

f the plinth.

he grilles fitted to the front of speakers may be

removed if desired. Take care however not to touch

he moving parts of the drive units as damage may

result.

Speaker Positioning

djustment of speaker position following initial

nstallation will probably further improve the sound

quality and is usually worthwhile.

n either stereo or home theatre installations try to

ensure that the immediate surroundings of each

speaker are similar in acoustic character. For example,

if one speaker is adjacent to bare walls while the other

is adjacent to soft furnishings and curtains, both the

overall sound quality and the stereo image are likely to

be compromised.

Conventional Stereo Systems

To begin with, the speakers should be positioned

between 1.5m (5 ft) and 3m (10 ft) apart at two

corners of an equilateral triangle completed by the

listening area at the third corner. The speakers should

be approximately 0.5m (20 in) away from the back

wall, and at least 0.5m (20 in) away from any side

walls. Figure 2a illustrates this arrangement.

Home Theatre Systems

If the speakers are to be used for the front channels in

a home theatre system they should be placed closer

together than for 2-channel audio because the

surround channels tend to widen the image.

Positioning the speakers within approximately 0.5m

(20 in) of the sides of the screen will also help keep

the sound image in scale with the visual image. As

with conventional stereo positioning, the speakers

should ideally be approximately 0.5m (20 in) away

from the back wall, and at least 0.5m (20 in) away

from any side walls.

Stray Magnetic Fields

The speaker drive units create stray magnetic fields

that extend beyond the boundaries of the cabinet. We

recommend you keep magnetically sensitive articles

(CRT television and computer screens, computer

discs, audio and video tapes, swipe cards and the

like) at least 0.5m (20 in) from the speaker. LCD and

plasma screens are not affected by magnetic fields.

Connections

All connections should be made with the equipment

switched off.

There are 2 linked pairs of terminals on the back of the

speaker

. For conventional connection the terminal links

should remain in place (as delivered) and just one pair

of terminals connected to the amplifier. For bi-wire

connection the terminal links should be r

emoved and

each pair of terminals connected to the amplifier
