cable
is
polarised, with
two
cores
of
different
colour
s,
or
often a raised rib or coloured tracer in the case
of
twin
cable. Before you

thought
to
the positioning of

This
is
especially the case
if

Positioning
the
Front
Loudspeakers
The EV04.
3,
EVO4,4
models are designed
to
be
floor
standing.
We
suggest that they are positioned
at
least
200mm
from
the
rear walls and
700mm
from
the
side walls, facing slightly inwards. The
EVO4.1
and
EVO4.2
models should
be
stand
or
wall
mounted though
they
ma
y
be
placed on a rigid shelf. The bass extension
will
improve
if
the
small
speakers are operated closer
to
the rear wall.
If
the
loudspeakers are
placed
too
close
to
the
walls
the
bass
will
increase
but
may
be
boom
y and indistinct. If
the
loudspeakers are
placed away from
the
walls, the inward angle
may
be
increased
by
up
to
40
%,
although this may restrict
the
wid
th
of
the
optimum
listening
position.
A useful rule
of
thumb
is
that
the
listener should
be
as for from the loudspeakers as
they
are from each other. The speakers should idea
ll
y
be
positioned so that
the
treble
units are roughly at ear
level
to
a seated
li
stener. As personal taste plays a large role, experiment with
different configurations and play a
wide
range
of
programmes before finalising the position
of
your speakers.
\
Positioning
the
Centre
Loudspeaker
The centre channel loudspeaker should
be
positioned centrally between
the
loudspeakers, close
to
the television and mounted above or
below
the
screen.
The loudspeaker should
be
located on a stable
flat
surface
to
avoid any cabinet
movement
at
high sound
le
vels.
If
you
mount
the
unit above
the
television, move
it
forward so that
the
front
grille sits slightly
in
front
of
the
screen and
the
top
of
the
cabinet.
A custom stand
is
available
for
the
model
which allows the loudspeaker
to
be positioned under a
wall
mounted
monitor and has an adjustable vertical
tilt
for
optimal
dispersion.

Setting
Up
a
Home
Theatre
System
Placement
Front and Effects Channels: The front loudspeakers are placed on either side
of
the television screen, 2
to
3 metres apart. The speakers
should
be
angled slightly so
they
car aimed towards the listeners.
We
recommend placing the rear effects speakers in a high position, behind the listener's head. If the rear
or
side walls are a long way
fr
om
the listening seat, consider stand mounting the loudspeakers.
If
the
centre loudspeaker is very high
or
low, angle it towards
the
listener's
ear level.
The front faces
of
the centre and surround loudspeakers should also
be
in line as far
as
possible.
Subwoofer:
As
the ear
is
unable
to
detect the direction fr
om
which
deep
ba
ss
originates, you have freedom
to
position the unit. Varying the
distance from the wall alters
the
bass.
Placing
the
subwoofer across a corner boosts the bass
but
may impair clari
ty.
The performance
of
a
home theatre system can be enhanced by using
two
subwoofers.
6.1
and
7,1
System
Placement
Dolby Labs,
DTS
and THX offer 6.1 and
7,1
format.
Although
the precise configuration
of
these systems
will
depend
on the capabilities
of
your processor and you should be guided
by
those instructions,
we
would
make some observation.
For
6.1
and
7.1
formats the listening seat should
not
be
too close
to
the rear wall.
Optimising the time delay so that information from all speakers arrives the listening seat coherently is critical
of
the
benefits
of
these systems
are
to
be
fully realise

Setting
Loudspeaker
Sizes
and
Levels
If you are
not
using a subwoofer: Set the Front speakers
to
'Large'. Set the 'Subwoofer' option on the processor to 'Off'
or
'No'. The Front
channels
will
now
receive
all
the system bass.
If you are using a subwoofer: When set
to
'Small'
all
the system bass w
ill
go
into the subwoofer.
If
you choose 'Large' the Front channel ba
ss
will
be reproduced from the Front speakers. Follow the instructions on this page for suitable size and crossover settings.
Once
the
loudspeaker settings have been finalised,
put
the
A/V
amp
li
fi
er into its
Test
' mode (see instructions
supplied
with
y
our
processor). Adjust the level
of
each channel until
all
channels are reproduced at equal loudness.
On
s
ome
programme material the surround channel may seem
low
er
in
level th
an
the front. Do n
ot
readjust this level.
You
may,
ho
wever, ne
ed
to
adjust
the
subwoofer
output
le
vel. Avoid setting
too
high a level
or
you
will
swamp the sound with bass. This c
an
be tiring
to
listen to, and
may limit the subwoofer's ability
to
respond
to
large bass transients.
You
should also set a sensible lev
el
going into the subwoofer from the
A/V
processor. Start with
the
subwoofer volume control set
to
between
12
o'clock and 3 o'cloc
k.
Delay
and
LFE
Settings
Many
NV
processors feature delay settings. The purpose
of
delay is
to
enable surround and dialogue information to arrive
at
the listene
r'
s
ears at the same
time
as
the
front channels, even when
the
listening seat is
in
a non-ideal position. On
some
pr
oc
essors, this can be
achieved by setting the distance from the listening position
to
each speaker, but other systems allow only a
time
delay setting.
Rear
Delay:
If
the listening position is equidistant from the front and rear speakers, set a
lo
w
del
ay setting. The closer the listener is
to
the
rear speakers this higher the delay setting used should
be.
Centre Delay:
If
the centre s
pe
aker is level with (or slightly behind) the
fr
ont speakers, s
et
the
del
ay
to
zero.
If
the
centre speak
er
is forward
of
the front speake
rs,
increase the delay.
LFE:
In
the cinema the
low
frequency effects channel
is
an
extra bass channel with its own subwoofer. In domestic systems the
LFE
channel
typically feeds into the subwoofer. Where no subwoofer
is
used, the
LFE
signal
is
combined with the front channels and sent
to
the fr
ont
speakers. When you set the
LFE
level at your A/ V processor, use care as pow
erful
low
frequencies can overload domestic loudspeakers.
If you hear popping
or
thumping noises coming from the front loudspeakers
or
subwoofer, immediately turn the A/ V processor's v
olume
level
down
and then lower
the
LFE
level. This should cure the problem.
If
it does no
t,
lo
wer the vol
ume
level at the subwoofer (if you a
re
using one) until the problem
di
sappear
s.
Phase: Please read the relevant sections
of
your
A/V
amplifier manual and familiarise yourself with the various issues.
If
you are unsure,
consult
your
dealer
for
help. A home theatre system sh
ould
have a precise front stage, a diffuse rear stage and
good
localization
of
dialogue.
If
the colours on the loudspeaker terminals
do
n
ot
correspond with those on
the
amplifier, the sound will appear poorly focused
or
'out
of
phase'. For this reason
it
is essential that the speakers are connected according
to
the wiring diagrams in this manu
al.
Connecting loudspeakers correctly
(in
ph
as
e)
is essential whether
the
system is stereo
or
multichannel. This is especia
ll
y
import
a
nt
if
you
are bi-wiring -
if
only one e
lement
in
a bi-wired system is
in
correctly connected (out of phas
e)
, the effects can be very noticea
ble
yet ha
rd
to pinpoint.
Troubleshooting
Before investigating a problem,
al
ways switch off
the
system
at

If your system is not working properly please
work
through this checklist befo

Looking
After
Your
Loudspeaker
This speaker
is
finished with a luxurious real wood veneer. As with all real wood furniture
fi
n
ishes:
exposure to dire
ct
sunlight. heat.
cold and varying humidity can affect the natural properties
of
the
real wood.
We
advise protecting the speaker from extreme
variances
in
temperature and environment condition
s.
We
advise that you
do
not
place anything on the surface
of
the cabinet
s,
to
protect from damage. Treated with car
e,
the real
wo
od
veneers
will
last a lifetime. They will age naturally and subtly, retaining the properties
of
the beautiful
wood
fi
ni
sh.
Your loudspeakers use a special hardwearing sealed

n
is
h. They should not be waxed or
tr
ea

ll
smear
and dim the finish. Occasionally polish them with a dry or barely moist cloth
to
remove

st and
fi
nger marks, e

If you play the speakers with the grilles off exercise great care.
NEVER
operate speakers with the grilles off
if
there are children or pets
in
the house.
Occasionally, remove
the
loudspeaker grilles and brush them
gentl
y w ith a soft brush before r
ep
lacing them carefully.
We advise that you do
not
use a vacuum

to
clean loudspeakers

s.
We
advise that you
do
not
pl
ace anything on your
lo
udspeakers
to
prevent damage
to
the cabinet surface.
Avoid getting any liquid behind the grille.
If
you spill liquid on your loudspeakers, take them
to
your dealer for at
