INTRODUCTION TO THE MODEL B
Safety Warnings
Physical Handling
The Model B loudspeakers are very heavy and large. They can be difficult to handle. Follow all instructions for
unpacking and installation. Use ergonomically correct body positions. Be careful not to unbalance the large
speaker systems during handling. Steinway Lyngdorf cannot be held responsible for any physical damage
which occurs during the installation process.
UNPACKING MODEL B MUSIC SYSTEM
Each crate holds a single Model B loudspeaker mounted on transport side panels, which secures the
loudspeakers during transportation as well is of use when lifting the loudspeaker into its final position.
The crates have been assembled using the Clip-Lok packaging system. It does not require any tools to reveal
the Model B by removing the clips.
Once you have unclipped the box, remove the top. In each box you will also find the following items:
• Decorative Side Panels (2 pcs)
• Screwdriver, type Tx30, for removing the transport side panels
• Allen Key, Hex4, for mounting the decorative side panels
• Spike Kit (4 pcs) holding both pointed and rubber pad spikes
• Speakon Plugs, NL4FC, (2 pcs)

SYSTEM PLACEMENT IN THE ROOM
Guidelines for Room Placement
Regardless of speaker positioning, the RoomPerfect™ calibration system will always ensure that the frequency
response in the listening position remains the same from both speakers.
Always use your ears for positioning the speakers, but for perfect performance we have the following
recommendations:
• The setup should be in accordance with the basic stereo triangle (60x60x60 degrees)
• The speaker should be located at least 1 meter or 3.3 feet away from rear walls.
• The speaker should be located at least 1.5 meter or 4.8 feet away from side walls.
• Both speakers should have the same amount of side reflections, i.e. symmetrical positions in the
room relative to adjacent walls.
• The speakers should be toed-in towards the primary listening position by 5-15 degrees, but they
should not be aimed directly at your ears. The wider the setup is, the more you need to adjust the
toe-in:
If a symmetrical position is impossible and the distance from each speaker to the listening
position is different, then this can be compensated digitally by adjusting the setup in the
processor. The speaker should be moved back following the guide-lines for toe-in.

CONNECTION OF EQUIPMENT
Speaker Cable Wiring
The Model B Music System is connected to the A2 amplifiers through
speaker wire fitted with Speakon connectors.
A2 DIP Switchboard Addressing
The DIP switchboard on the back of each A2 amplifier
must be set for correct identification of the speaker
connected to it.
Daisy-Chaining
The two Model A2 amplifiers must be connected in Daisy-Chain – one cable from LINK A output from the
processor to Steinway Link IN on the first A2 amplifier (ID#0) – one cable from Steinway Link OUT on the first
A2 amplifier (ID#0) to Steinway Link IN on the second A2 amplifier (ID#1)
DIP 8 must be adjusted for either termination or transmission. Switch DIP 8 to lower position on the first A2
amplifier (ID#0). Switch to upper position on the second A2 amplifier (ID#1).

ROOM CORRECTION INTRODUCTION
Why do you need room correction? The characteristics of your room affect the sound that reaches your ears.
In any system, more than 50% of the sound you hear comes from the contribution of the room, echoes,
reflections, absorption, and the like.
Follow the instructions of the Installation Manual of the processor, but note that during measurements, you
can work, talk and move around in the room. But the measurements will last longer depending on the level of
background noise.
CLEANING THE SPEAKER
Polish the system for perfect appearance with a micro fiber cloth. Dust and fingerprints are highly visible on
the black piano gloss lacquer. If necessary, moisten your cloth with distilled or demineralized water only.
DO NOT use ordinary furniture polish or cleaning agents as these usually contain wax or silicone that may
cause damage to the surfaces.
STORING THE SPEAKER
The Model B features wooden constructions with high gloss lacquered finish as well as high end electronics.
Electronics as well as wooden constructions are vulnerable for sudden changes in temperature as this will
cause cracks in the wooden constructions and cause serious degradation of the lifetime of the electronic
circuitry.
The products should thus be kept and stored in stable conditions with temperatures between
10o to 25o Celsius and with a relative humidity level between 50% and 55%.
REPACKING OF MODEL B MUSIC SYSTEM
In case the system components are to be moved to another location repacking into the original shipping crates
is necessary, as the weight and vulnerable surfaces are causes of concern.
