to respect the connector polarity

both the loudspeaker and amplifier. The positive terminal

must be connected to

the corresponding (matching) amplifier's terminal and the negative terminal

Don't

appropriate

section and length.

Let

advise you.

About amplifiers

• Route the connection cables before installing the plasterboard.

• Ensure that the speakers are con-nected before installing them into the wall!

Speakers placement

The Chorus V loudspeakers have been engineered to deliver the most faithful sound reproduction, whether they are used

for

music

home

cinema.

order

to enhance their performance, to guarantee a high quality

listening, sound

image

and tone balance, it

important

to note the following basic rules. The listening area must be located

the summit

equilateral triangle whose two other points

insertion are determined

the position

each speaker. Nevertheless it

possible

modify these distances to find an ideal compromise according to the particular disposition

the room

(fig.

F).

Each loudspeaker must be placed

the same height

and

on the same

floor

plan. The tweeter should be

the same height

the listener's ear, when the listener

in his usual listening area

(fig.

G).

Surround and center speakers placement

order

to obtain a realistic

soundstage, the placement

the speakers

decisive, even when confronted with a restrictive disposition

the

listening

room.

For enhanced performances, the following elements should be noted. Central channel speakers should be

placed close to the TV-screen to obtain a

proper

placement and a realistic reproduction

dialog

(fig.

They could

be placed

below

above

the TV-screen if your TV-unit permits.

a standort projection screen

used, the central channel

speaker must be placed

under

the screen.

an acoustically transparent projection screen

used, the central channel

speaker can be placed behind and at the bottom

the screen. Avoid placing the effect speakers

too

far

from the listening

area otherwise the sound perception will be altered.

order

surround effects, with great sound density we advise

you to place the speakers against the sidewalls on each side

Precautions

the loudspeaker's covering materials are strong, scratch- and stain-resistant, maintenance

easy and consists only in

cleaning the covering with a dry cloth. If the enclosure

stained, we simply recommend the use

damp

cloth. Never

use

any solvents, detergents,

alcohol

corrosive products, scrappers

scouring

powder

to clean the surface

the

loudspeaker. Avoid placing the loudspeakers near a heat source.

Running-in period

The drivers used

the Chorus V loudspeaker are complex mechanical devices and require a run-in period

before they deliver their best perfor-mance. They must get

adapted

to the temperature

and

humidity conditions

their

environment. This breaking-in period depends on the encountered conditions and can last several weeks.

order

shorten this

period,

we advise you to let your loudspeakers operate

for

about

twenty hours

medium

level, playing

standard musical programmes, but with a large

amount

Once

the components

the loudspeakers are completely

stabilized, it

possible

enjoy the real performance

your Chorus V loudspeakers.

Magnetic disturbance

home theater systems, the magnetic radiation

the loudspeakers must be taken into consideration. These loudspeakers

generate a magnetic leak that can interfere with household appliances, some

which are sensitive

this

phenomenon.

strongly advised

not

to place front loudspeakers closer than

screen. Frame geometry
