Safety
Please observe the following instructions when setting up the
Audiorama 9000:
These loudspeakers are designed for the playback of audio signals.
Any other use is expressly prohibited.
The loudspeakers are designed for use in dry rooms. Make sure they
are protected from splashing water.
Do not place the loudspeakers next to heating units or in direct
sunlight.
If the Audiorama 900 is to be installed with the stand support, it must
be on an even surface.
Do not place any containers containing liquids, such as vases, on
the loudspeakers, as they may tip over and spill the liquid, which
poses an electrical hazard.
Do not place any objects such as burning candles on the Audiorama
9000.
Do not open the inner casing of the speaker under any circum-
stances. No warranty claims are accepted for damage caused by in-
correct handling.
Setting up
The “surround sound” characteristics of the Audiorama 9000 allow
you to place it anywhere within the room.
The differentiated surround sound of the Audiorama system fills the
room so that acoustically, the loudspeakers remain practically
invisible.
The stereo effect is thus excellent and never blurred. This frees you to
select the arrangement of the speakers based on optical
considerations.
For optimum stereo effect, the Audiorama 9000 speakers should be
placed at a distance of between two and four meters from one an-
other, depending on the room size.
If an Audiorama 9000 unit is “hidden” (e.g. behind upholstered
furniture or curtains), the sound of this loudspeaker will always be
“poorer” than the others and the stereo sound characteristics will
deteriorate.
Cleaning
Use a damp, soft cloth to clean the loudspeakers.
The fabric covering of the loudspeakers can be cleaned with a
vacuum (low power setting).
SAFETY AND SET-UP ------------------------------------------------------------

Mounting the Audiorama 9000 on the ceiling
Caution:
The ceiling surface must be strong enough to bear the weight.
Use fastening equipment suitable for the weight of the unit
(Audiorama 9000 weight including DIN safety = approx. 28 kg).
For ceiling constructions such as wood-panelled or dropped ceilings,
use suitable anchors and screws. Consult your specialist dealer.
Warning:
To avoid injury, this device must be properly mounted on the ceiling
according to the assembly instructions.
Note:
If the Audiorama 9000 is to be used in a professional environment
(e.g. in a café), it must be installed by a qualified electrician in ac-
cordance with the valid installation specifications of VDE 0100.
1Select the mounting site and mark the holes on the ceil-
ing with the aid of the mounting plate for the holder.
2Drill the holes on the ceiling and insert the anchors.
3Shorten the loudspeaker cable to the required length,
separate the wires approx. 50 mm and remove about
10 mm of their insulation.
Note:
Before severing, wrap tape around the cable sheath.
4Slide the cover onto the loudspeaker and guide the
loudspeaker cable with steel cable through the open-
ing of the mounting plate.
5Put the steel cable through the opening of the locking
screw and tighten it with a spanner (min. 2.5 Nm).
MOUNTING ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

6Screw the mounting plate over the spacers with three
suitable screws.
7Using the terminal strip (2.5 mm), bind the loud-
speaker cable and its extension to the amplifier.
Note:
Connect the loudspeakers observing the correct
polarity.
The cross-section of the loudspeaker cable extension
used must have a certain ratio to the cable length.
We therefore recommend a cross-section of at least
1.5 mm for cable lengths under 10 meters and a
cross-section of at least 2.5 mm for lengths over 10
meters.
If you use cross-sections of > 2.5 mm, reducers can
be obtained from your dealer.
8If necessary, cut a section out of the covering for the
loudspeaker cable.
9Snap the covering onto the mounting plate.
Note:
Fasten the loudspeaker cable to the wall or floor.
Loose loudspeaker cables pose an accident hazard.
Setting up the Audiorama 9000 with a stand
support
As an alternative to mounting the Audiorama 9000 on the ceiling,
you can also set it on a stand support.
The stand support is available as an accessory from your dealer.
Mounting the stand support may only be carried out by an autho-
rised dealer.
MOUNTING ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Connecting the Audiorama 9000
The nominal load of your Audiorama 9000 may not exceed 120
watts.
The rated impedance of your Audiorama 9000 is 4 Ohm. Please
note that the amplifier used must be able to accomodate a minimum
impedance (acc. to IEC) of 4 Ohm.
The related amplifier should provide sufficient output power.
An amplifier that provides less output power will produce danger-
ous distortions for the individual speakers even at moderate volumes.
If the sound controls (bass and treble) are turned up at louder
volumes, the operating limit will already have been reached. The
amplifier generates heavy distortion even when well under the
maximum volume.
1Before connecting the loudspeakers, switch off the amplifier.
2The loudspeakers must be connected to the amplifier observing
the correct polarity.
The connection terminals of the amplifier are marked (for
example, red = positive pole, black = negative pole). The wires
of the connection cable are likewise marked.
Connect the marked – or red – wires of the connection cable
with the red connections (positive pole) of the amplifier and the
unmarked – or black – wires of the connection cable with the
black connections (negative pole) of the amplifier.
Incorrect connection can lead to sound distortions.
Important:
Make sure that the two connection cables do not contact each
other. A short-circuit could otherwise occur, resulting in damage
to the amplifier.
