Speaker Installation
603 S3
603 S3 is intended to be oor mounted only. For proper stability,
always install the provided plinth, then ensure that the speakers
stand rmly on the oor using the spike or rubber feet supplied.
You may attach the plinth during the unpacking process, following
the illustrations above or the diagrams on the top ap of the
carton.
Warning
The plinth MUST always be used, with the rubber or spike feet
inserted into the plinth. DO NOT insert rubber or spike feet
directly into the cabinet.
Important Safety Notice
Sharp spikes, do not touch.
The spike feet are designed to pierce carpet and rest on the
oor surface. Initially, screw the lock nuts onto the spikes just
far enough to leave the nuts oating just above the carpet when
the spikes are resting on the oor beneath. Then, screw the
spikes fully into the threaded inserts in the plinth. If the cabinet
rocks when placed on the oor, unscrew the two spikes that do
not touch the oor until the cabinet rests rmly without rocking.
Finally, lock the nuts against the base and gently tighten the nut
to stop the spike foot rotating. It may be more convenient to
t and adjust the spike feet after speaker positioning has been
optimised.
If there is no carpet and you wish to avoid scratching the oor
surface, use either a protective metal disc (a coin perhaps)
between the spike and the oor, or use the supplied rubber feet.
Fit the rubber feet and level the cabinet in the same manner as
with the spike feet.

Speaker Positioning
In 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
and 3m apart at two corners of an equilateral triangle completed
by the listening area at the third corner. The speakers should be
placed at least 0.5m away from the back and any side walls (as
per the illustration above).
606 S3 / 607 S3
The 606 S3 and 607 S3 are primarily designed to be mounted
on a dedicated oor stand (FS-600 S3), but may be placed on
a shelf if preferred. However, it should be noted that this offers
less exibility to optimise the speaker’s performance. If shelf
placement must be used, we recommend using the foam plugs
(supplied) to optimise port performance (see Section 4: Fine-
Tuning).
In both installation cases, the speakers’ tweeters should be
approximately at ear height at your usual listening position.
Note: If using a shelf, ensure that it is strong enough to
properly support the weight and fit the four self-adhesive
rubber feet to the underside of the speaker.
HTM6 S3
If using a projection television with an acoustically transparent
screen, position the speaker behind the centre of the screen.
Otherwise, position it either directly below or above the screen
using either a oor stand, furniture unit or wall shelf, ensuring the
speaker is as close to ear height as possible. If the speaker is
to be placed either on a shelf or in a rack shared with other AV
equipment, x the four self-adhesive rubber feet to the base of
the speaker. They provide a degree of vibration isolation.

ENGLISH
Stray Magnetic Fields
The speaker drive units create stray magnetic elds 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 from the speaker. LCD, OLED and plasma
screens are not affected by magnetic elds.
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
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 at least 0.5m away
from any side walls.

Important Safety Notice
All connections should be made with the audio
equipment switched off. When using audio equipment
in normal operation, touching uninsulated speaker
terminals or wiring may result in an unpleasant sensation. The
600 S3 speaker terminals accept a variety of cable terminations:
4mm banana plugs, 6mm and 8mm (1/4 in and 5/16 in) spades,
or bare wires up to 4mm (5/32 in) diameter.
Important Safety Notice
In certain countries, notably those in Europe, the use
of 4mm banana plugs is considered a potential safety
hazard, because they may be inserted into the holes
of unshuttered mains supply sockets. In order to comply with
European CENELEC safety regulations, the 4mm holes in the
ends of the terminals are blocked by plastic pins. If you are using
the products in any country where these conditions apply, you
should ensure that any banana plugs cannot be used in an unsafe
manner by children or other uninformed persons. The plastic pins
can be removed if you wish to use banana plugs.
Ask your dealer for advice when selecting speaker cable. Keep
its total impedance below the maximum recommended in the
speaker specication and use a low inductance cable to avoid
attenuation of high frequencies.
There are two linked pairs of terminals on the back of the
speaker. For conventional connection (above left), the terminal
links should remain in place (as delivered) and just one pair of
terminals connected to the amplier. For bi-wire connections
or bi-amplication (above right), the terminal links should be
removed and each pair of terminals connected to the amplier or
ampliers independently. Bi-wiring can improve the resolution of
low-level detail.
Ensure that the positive terminals on the speaker (with red ring)
are connected to the positive output terminal on the amplier
and the negative terminals on the speaker (with black ring) are
always connected to the negative output terminal on the amplier.
Incorrect connection will not result in damage but will cause poor
stereo imaging and loss of bass. Always screw the terminal caps
down fully to prevent rattles.

ENGLISH
Before ne-tuning, make sure that all the connections in the
installation are correct and secure.
Moving the speakers further from the walls will generally reduce
the volume of bass. Space behind the speakers will also help
to create an aural impression of depth. Conversely, moving the
speakers closer to the walls will increase the volume of bass.
If you want to reduce the volume of bass without moving the
speakers further from the wall, t the foam plugs or, for less
severe bass reduction, the foam rings in the port tubes (above).
If the bass seems uneven with frequency this will most probably
be due to resonance modes in the listening room. Even small
changes in the position of the speakers or the listening position
can have a profound effect on how these resonances affect the
sound. Try moving the listening position or locating the speakers
along a different wall. The presence and position of large pieces
of furniture can also inuence resonance modes.
If no alternatives exist, you can adjust your loudspeakers’ low-
frequency performance using the supplied foam plugs. The plugs
are a two-piece part, allowing for a degree of ne-tuning using
either the outer, larger-diameter piece in isolation or the two parts
together. Using solely the outer, larger-diameter foam piece will
deliver less bass attenuation than the complete plug assembly.
If the central image lacks focus, try moving the speakers closer
together or angle them inward so that they point at a location
just in front of the listening position. If the sound is too bright,
increasing the amount of soft furnishing in the room (heavier
curtains for example) may help balance the sound. Conversely,
reducing the amount of soft furnishing may help brighten a dull
sound.
For the most discerning listening, remove the grilles by gripping
around their edges and gently pulling them away from the
cabinet.

ENGLISH
The cabinet surfaces will usually only require dusting. We
recommend you use a soft microbre cloth. If you wish to use
an aerosol or other cleaner, apply the cleaner onto the cloth, not
directly onto the product, and test a small area rst, as some
cleaning products may damage some of the surfaces. Avoid
products that are abrasive, or contain acid, alkali or anti-bacterial
agents. Do not use cleaning agents on the drive units. Avoid
touching the drive units as damage may result.
The performance of the speaker will change subtly during the
initial listening period. If the speaker has been stored in a cold
environment, the damping compounds and suspension materials
of the drive units will take some time to recover their correct
mechanical properties. The drive unit suspensions will also loosen
up during the rst hours of use. The time taken for the speaker to
achieve its intended performance will vary depending on previous
storage conditions and how it is used. As a guide, allow up to
a week for the temperature effects to stabilise and 15 hours of
average use for the mechanical parts to attain their intended
design characteristics.
