over and the cables don’t represent a tripping hazard.
¢ If mounting the speakers on the wall, make sure that the
installation is carried out expertly.
* Only use suitable wall holders to mount the speakers.
Verify the carrying capacity of the walls.
¢ Do not place the unit near sources of heat (e.g. heaters,

Setting up the speakers
Setup location
* Select a stable, level base or a suitable wall.
¢ Make sure that the environment is clean and free from dust.
e Avoid placing the unit close to sources of heat or in direct
sunlight.
¢ Arrange the connector cables so that they do not pose a trip
hazard.
* Do not place any heavy objects on the cables or the speakers.
Setup
The following data concern an “ideal home cinema”, in which
the viewer or listener sits in a central position at a sufficient
distance in front of the video screen or screen (see the follow-
ing graphic) and no objects (tables or the like) are located in
between. Unfortunately, the room, furnishings or other circum-
stances do not always allow for optimum arrangement.
Modern software in the players offers diverse possibilities to
electronically compensate for possible compromises in the
placement. The following general rule applies: You can always
experiment on what works best in your listening room in terms
of sound and appearance based on our recommendations. Let
your ears (and eyes) be the judge!
Mounting the rubber buffers
* Affix 4 rubber buffers © serving as resonance dampers in
the bottom side corners of each speaker.
Center speaker
e Place the center speaker in a central position under or above
the video screen or screen.
Front speaker
¢ The front speakers are set up to the right and left of the
screen or hung at a height of approx. 80 to 160 cm.
e They should be in line with the center speaker and form an
equilateral triangle with the listener - the so-called stereo
triangle (distance from the listener = distance between the
speakers).
e The speakers should project sound directly into the room or
slightly towards the listener.
Rear speakers
e The rear speakers are set up or hung next to or behind the
listener at a height of 1.20 m to 2.10 m.
¢ The ideal position is offset by approx. 20 degrees from the
parallel position to the listener on the left and right side A),
It is generally recommended that the distance of the rear
speakers to the hearer’s place exceeds 1 m. However, if you
(need to) sit closer please ensure that the front side of the
speaker is not directly facing you. Rather, the speaker must
be angled towards the wall @). Alternatively, you can create a
greater distance by placing the speakers higher than 1.20 m
(e.g. also on the ceiling) or further away ©,

Danger Risk of damage!
AÀ Improper assembly may result in damage.
e If mounting the speakers on the wall, make sure that the
installation is carried out expertly.
¢ Before drilling the holes, make sure that no pipes are
located within the drilling area using a metal detector.
e Only use suitable screws and dowels to mount the speak-
ers. Verify the carrying capacity of the walls.
* Affix 4 rubber buffers @ serving as resonance dampers in
the back side corners of each speaker. Later on, they server
as spacers for the cables.
e Hang the satellite speakers up on the wall using the keyhole
openings on the speaker back side and the screws you previ-
ously mounted.
Mounting a wall holder or speaker
stand
The threaded hole 1 is intended for mounting a wall holder or
speaker stand. You can find suitable products for this in our
web shop.

Connecting the speakers
Connecting
Danger Danger of injury/damage!
/\ Arrange the cables so that they do not pose a
trip hazard.
Pull the power plug of your AV receiver or multi-channel ac-
tive subwoofer out of the socket.
Lay the speaker cables from your AV receiver or multi-
channel active subwoofer to each speaker. If the enclosed
speaker cable is not long enough, order more high-quality
double wire cables with marked strands on our website in
the “Accessories” area.
A connector comprising two terminals is located on the
back side of each speaker, to which you have to connect the
speaker cables.
The terminal clips are each marked red (+) and black (-).
Make sure the polarity is correct!
Connect the like coloured terminals. Otherwise, the
sound quality will suffer.
The speaker connections of your AV receiver or multi-channel
active subwoofer should be marked similarly. The strands
of the speaker cables are marked with different colours or
shapes.
1. Split the single wire down to approx. 30 mm on both ends
2.
and strip approx. 10 mm of insulation off of each cord.
Twist the stripped single wire ends together so that no wire
protrudes. Tin coating is not necessary.
3. Turn the connector terminal counterclockwise until loose.
Run the stripped cable end into the now visible hole. Close
the terminal by turning it counterclockwise. The cable has
now been clamped in place.
4. Connect the cables to the other speakers in the same way.
5. Connect the speaker cables to your AV receiver or multi-
channel active subwoofer. The operating instructions of the
appliance should contain notes on this.
Crossover frequency
Don’t use the satellites as full-range speakers.
It is recommended to set a separation frequency of 200 Hz
on the AV receiver. Depending on the sound preferences and
spatial conditions you may however also choose a value in
the range from 150 to 250 Hz. The higher the separation fre-
quency is set, the higher the undistorted maximum volume
of the system is.
Please be absolutely sure to adhere to the notes in the oper-
ating instructions of your AV receiver.
