Installation
The Chorus input sockets ensure reliable multipurpose connections
for
stripped cables
as
well
as
for
plugs.
It
is
imperative
to respect the connector polarity
of
both the loudspeaker and amplifier. The positive terminal
"+"
must be connected to
the corresponding (matching) amplifier's terminal and the negative terminal
"-"
to the negative terminal
(fig.
A).
Stereo
image, soundstaging and bass perception would be seriously compromised if these conditions were not respected.
Don't
underestimate the importance
of
the cable: make sure you chose the
appropriate
section and length.
Let
your retailer
advise you.
About amplifiers
Contrary to what one might think, it
is
not a
too
powerful
amplifier
that might
damage
a loudspeaker, but rather a lack
of
power. Actually if the
output
level
of
the
amplifier
is
too
high it will saturate and distort which will irremediably
damage
the
tweeter. The
power
handling and frequency response
of
the Chorus loudspeakers
is
good
enough to highlight the qualities
or
weak points
of
the amplifiers they are combined with.
Let
your retailer help you make the right choice, matching your
personal taste and budget.
Mounting
This should be carried
out
after all
of
the cables have been fitted. We recommend that you
use
a marked cable
in
order
to
conserve the polarity
of
the
speakers(+/-).
Existing construction:
•
Cut
the dry wall using the template supplied
(fig.
B).
Be
sure to check that this
is
perfectly vertical using a spirit level
before you begin cutting.
• Check construction plans
of
your room to make sure that you are not drilling into a pipe, an electrical cable
or
any other
specialised installations behind the wall.
New
construction:
•
Use
the dedicated mounting kit.
• Route the connection cables before installing the plasterboard.
• Ensure that the speakers are con-nected before installing them into the wall!
Fixing
The loudspeaker
is
firmly fixed into the wall using a system
of
clamps.
To
achieve this, place the speaker into the cut-out and
tighten the fixing screws in a clockwise direction using a cross-head screwdriver
(fig.
C,
D,
E).
Wall Boost Control
Your loudspeakers
use
an exclusive filtering process known
as
OPC
(Optimum
Phase Crossover) guaran-teeing a perfect
stereo image and outstanding sound definition. Ad-ditionally,
in
order
to reduce the "wall effect" inherent to any built
in
speaker, we have developed a wall boost equalization circuit which corrects this phenomenon and makes it easier to
position your speakers
to
suit your preferences.
