THE MOMENTUM SX3i LOUDSPEAKER
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Congratulations on choosing the MOMENTUM SX3i loudspeakers. Please read the following notes in order to
get the est from them.
RUNNING IN
A 'running in' period o at least 200 hours is necessary or optimum per ormance.
SETUP
The MOMENTUM SX3i should e used on rigid stands, 45 - 60cm tall, and fixed with lu-tack or similar
adhesive putty.
PLACEMENT IN THE ROOM
A degree of experimentation is necessary for optimum placement ut a starting point of 20cm - 30cm from rear
walls is suggested, with a toe-in of 10 - 20 degrees. Generally, ass output increases as distance from the rear
wall, or room corner, decreases. Stereo depth improves as the speaker is rought away from room oundaries.
Perseverance at the setup stage will e rewarded. Move the loudspeaker in small increments (2 - 3cm at a time)
and assess the changes until satisfied with the in-room alance. Often, very small changes of the loudspeaker
position can result in a su stantial improvement in performance.
CONNECTIONS
The Momentum SX3i is supplied with a single pair of terminals as standard, to facilitate single (normal) wiring.
If you have ordered a dual pair of terminals you may bi-wire or bi-amp the Momentum SX3i.
Bi-wiring is effected y running two sets of ca le from the amplifier output terminals. Connect one set to the
lower and one set to the upper terminals on the rear of the speaker. Take care to ensure correct phasing (i.e. red
and lack connections maintained at amplifier and speaker). Bi-wiring can ring a out a significant change in
performance and this should e evaluated on an individual asis. Some amplifiers will respond etter than
others, and personal taste is a strong factor.
Bi-ampli ication is highly recommended. This involves the use of 2 stereo amplifiers (or 4 mono amplifiers).
When this mode of operation is eing considered, it is advisa le to consult a dealer, or Neat Acoustics, for
advice.
