Running in new
loudspeakers
New loudspeakers need a certain period
of running-in.
SA bass drivers uses natural rubber
surrounds and our loudspeakers needs
at least 50 - 100 hours of music playing
at decent sound level.
You will notice a gradual improvement in
sound quality.
No particular precautions need to be
taken during the burn-in period.
! Important
 Let the loudspeaker reach room
temperature before plugging it in.
Condensation may arise in the
electronics when moving the speaker
from cold to warm surroundings. Such
moisture may damage the loudspeaker’s
components.
 Foreign bodies must not be inserted
into the bass reflex port of the
loudspeaker.
 Avoid touching the speaker elements.
Set up
SA pandion 30 has been designed to
stand on the floor. The speakers should,
be placed 30 – 50 cm away from a wall.
The distance may be increased or
decreased depending on the acoustics of
the room and your preferred character of
sound.
After the 50-hour run-in period and
appropriate adjustments, the speakers
should be mounted on spikes or rubber
feet.
Spikes. If the speakers are placed on
a soft underlay, e.g. a carpet, we
recommend that you use spikes. The
spikes have locknuts so the speakers
can be appropriately adjusted. It is
important that the speakers are placed
vertically without the ability to move from
side to side. If necessary, adjust spikes
and locknuts to make sure the speaker
rests evenly on all 4 spikes. Once you
have finished adjusting them, tighten the
nuts.
Rubber feet. If the speaker is
positioned on a solid underlay, e.g. a
wooden floor, we recommend that you
use the rubber feet.
You can also use spikes and protect the
floor with the provided protectors. Please
note that the speakers are likely to glide
on a smooth surface when using the
protectors.
To make positioning easier you might
want to wait with the mounting of spikes
or rubber feet until the best sounding
position for the speakers is found.

Connection
SA pandion 30 can be used for any Hi-fi
or surround system.
Amplifiers e.g. 2 x 70 W will normally run
them with a good result, provided the
quality of the amplifier equipment is
sufficiently high.

Maintenance
Clean the surfaces of the loudspeaker
with a firmly wrung damp cloth.

! Important
Do not use detergent. It may discolour
the finish.
The front grille is easily removed by a
slight movement away form the speaker
and is best cleaned by a vacuum cleaner
with a brush-head attached.
! Important
Do not use a vacuum cleaner to remove
dust from the speaker elements. Brush it
away gently with a soft brush.
Example of set up
The sound from speakers depends very
much of the room acoustics and how the
speakers are set up. You may want to
ask your dealer for advice on how to get
the best sound with SA Pandion 30 in
your home.
Here is some general advice about
experimenting with the set up.
AThe distance between the rear of
the speakers and the wall behind
them
Start with a distance of 30 cm. The
distance should be identical for both
speakers. Try the speakers out with
music you know well and find out
what distance gives the best sound.
Greater distance = weaker bass,
more precise bass, better and bigger
sound stage.
Shorter distance = more and softer
bass, smaller sound stage.
BThe distance from the side walls to
the speakers.
Preferably greater than the distance
to the back wall.
A short distance to the side walls
increases the amount of bass in the
same way as A.
C,D The distance between the
speakers and the listener.
The ideal distance between the
speakers is 2.0 – 3 metres. Distances
C & D should preferably be the same.
The speakers should be angled
directly towards the listening position.
Note:
 The better your equipment, the better
the speakerswill sound
 Spend time experimenting with the
position of the speakers
 The closer the speaker is to a wall,
the more bass. Move them further
away from the walls for less bass. A
corner will increase the amount of
bass and make the sound "rumbling"
 Never turn the volume higher than it
still sounds good
 Remove the front grille for the best
possible sound

Connection – double
check
Check that the cables are properly
mounted. Make sure the electrical phase
is correctly connected to the speaker
connections. This means that cables
attached to plus (+) or minus (-) on the
amplifier/receiver must also be attached
to plus (+) or minus (-) on the speakers.
On SA Pandion 30 the positive
connection is indicated by a red socket or
a plus (+).
Follow the speaker cables to make sure
that the right and left channels (and the
centre and rear channels where
appropriate) are connected correctly.
