Chorus IW 706 V / IC 706 V / IC 706 V ST

Aluminum/magnesium alloy TNA

inverted dome tweeter®:

the tweeter of the Chorus V benefits

from the inverted dome technology,

which is exclusive to Focal-JMlab. It

allows optimal energy transfer and

wide dispersion. The aluminum/

magnesium alloy making up of

the dome guarantees exceptional

performances in terms of stiffness and

damping thus ensuring a subtle blend

of softness and dynamics.

Polyglass® cone woofer and mid-

bass:

impregnated paper cones with a fine

layer of silica micro-balls for a fully

dynamic bass impact, precise and

distortion-free.

OPC® (Optimum Phase Cros-sover):

phase optimization for a precise,

natural and stable soundstage and

image.

Wall Boost Control:

to reduce the "wall effect" inherent

to any built in speaker, we have

developed a wall boost equalization

circuit which corrects this phenomenon

and makes it easier to position your

speakers to suit your preferences.

Adjustable aluminum inverted

dome tweeter:

detailed and non directive.

Easy integration:

the aluminum grille and reinforced

ABS chassis can be painted.

Optional mounting kit

Design to work in wet environment:

In kitchen, bathroom… Ideal for

installations in yachts.

Thank you for choosing the Chorus V

In Wall/In Ceiling loudspeakers.

We are pleased to share with

you our philosophy : “the Spirit of

to read this user’s manual and to

keep it carefully so that you can

consult it later.

To ensure optimal performance

from your loudspeakers, we highly

recommend that installation is

carried out by a professional.

They will be able to advise on

the best placement within your

painting the grille

The Focal-JMlab guarantee

only applies if the enclosed

guarantee card is returned to

us within 10 days of purchase.

Installation

The Chorus input sockets ensure

reliable multipurpose connections for

stripped cables as well as for plugs. It

is imperative to respect the connector

polarity of both the loudspeaker

and amplifier. The positive terminal

“+” must be connected to the

corresponding (matching) amplifier’s

terminal and the negative terminal

“-“ to the negative terminal (fig. A).

Stereo image, soundstaging and

bass perception would be seriously

compromised if these conditions were

not respected. Don’t underestimate

the importance of the cable: make

sure you chose the appropriate

section and length. Let your retailer

advise you.

About amplifiers

Contrary to what one might think, it

is not a too powerful amplifier that

might damage a loudspeaker, but

rather a lack of power. Actually if the

output level of the amplifier is too

high it will saturate and distort which

will irremediably damage the tweeter.

The power handling and frequency

response of the Chorus loudspeakers

is good enough to highlight the

qualities or weak points of the

amplifiers they are combined with. Let

your retailer help you make the right

choice, matching your personal taste

and budget.

Mounting

This should be carried out after all

of the cables have been fitted. We

recommend that you use a marked

cable in order to conserve the polarity

of the speakers (+/-).

Existing construction:

• Cut the dry wall using the template

supplied (fig. B). Be sure to check

that this is perfectly vertical using a

spirit level before you begin cutting.

• Check construction plans of your

room to make sure that you are

not drilling into a pipe, an electrical

cable or any other specialised

installations behind the wall.

New construction:

• Use the dedicated mounting kit.

• Route the connection cables before

installing the plasterboard.

• Ensure that the speakers are con-

nected before installing them into

the wall!

Fixing

The loudspeaker is firmly fixed into

the wall using a system of clamps.To

achieve this, place the speaker into

the cut-out and tighten the fixing

screws in a clockwise direction using a

cross-head screwdriver (fig. C, D, E).

Wall Boost Control

Your loudspeakers use an exclusive

filtering process known as OPC

(Optimum Phase Crossover) guaran-

teeing a perfect stereo image and

outstanding sound definition. Ad-

ditionally, in order to reduce the "wall

effect" inherent to any built in speaker,

we have developed a wall boost

equalization circuit which corrects

this phenomenon and makes it easier

to position your speakers to suit your

preferences.

Installation

Speakers placement

The Chorus V loudspeakers have

been engineered to deliver the most

faithful sound reproduction, whether

they are used for music or home

cinema. In order to enhance their

performance, to guarantee a high

quality of listening, sound image

and tone balance, it is important to

note the following basic rules. The

listening area must be located at

the summit of an equilateral triangle

whose two other points of insertion

are determined by the position of

each speaker. Nevertheless it is

possible to modify these distances to

find an ideal compromise according

to the particular disposition of the

room (fig. F).

Each loudspeaker must be placed

at the same height and on the same

floor plan. The tweeter should be

at the same height as the listener’s

ear, when the listener is in his usual

listening area (fig. G).

Surround and center speakers

placement

The soundtrack mix for a film or music

encoded in multichannel format is

very complex and allows the listener

to benefit from a wide range of special

sound effects, which require the use of

effect channel speakers. In order to

obtain a realistic 3D soundstage,

the placement of the speakers is

decisive, even when confronted with

a restrictive disposition of 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 of the

dialog (fig. Ha). They could be

placed below or above the TV-screen

if your TV-unit permits. If a standart

projection screen is used, the central

channel speaker must be placed

under the screen. If an acoustically

transparent projection screen is used,

the central channel speaker can be

placed behind and at the bottom of

the screen. Avoid placing the effect

speakers too far from the listening

area otherwise the sound perception

will be altered. In order to obtain

surround effects, with great sound

density we advise you to place the

speakers against the sidewalls on

each side of the listening room (fig.

Hb, Hd). You can use IC 706 V as In

Ceiling surround speakers (fig. Hc) or

for back center surround channel for

6.1 or 7.1 configuration.

Adjustment of tweeter

To carry out adjustments, use the

switch level located on the front baffle

of the speaker as follows (fig. I).

Adjust the tweeter facing the listening

area (fig.J).

Chorus IC 706 V ST is an In-Ceiling

speaker that receives the two left and

right channels of the amplifier (pic. K).

It’s perfect for using in small

rooms (pic. M and N) where the

installation of two loudspeakers is

difficult (bathroom for example, pic.

N) or where the stereo detection is

impossible (kitchen, entrance hall,

pic. M).

However, its adjustable tweeter (pic.

L) permits to get a stereophonic effect

in a determined zone.

Chorus IC 706 V ST is the perfect

surround loudspeaker for a Home

Theatre system (from 2.0 up to 7.0

/ 7.1) with a minimum number of

loudspeakers (pic. O, P, Q).

Cautions

Precautions

As the loudspeaker’s covering

materials are strong, scratch- and

stain-resistant, maintenance is easy

and consists only in cleaning the

covering with a dry cloth. If the

enclosure is stained, we simply

recommend the use of a damp cloth.

Never use any solvents, detergents,

alcohol or corrosive products,

scrappers or scouring powder to clean

the surface of the loudspeaker. Avoid

placing the loudspeakers near a heat

source.

Running-in period

The drivers used in 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 of their environment. This

breaking-in period depends on the

encountered conditions and can last

several weeks. In order to shorten

this period, we advise you to let

your loudspeakers operate for about

twenty hours at medium level, playing

standard musical programmes, but

with a large amount of bass. Once

the components of the loudspeakers

are completely stabilized, it is possible

to enjoy the real performance of your

Chorus V loudspeakers.

Magnetic disturbance

In home theater systems, the magnetic

radiation of the loudspeakers must

be taken into consideration. These

loudspeakers generate a magnetic

leak that can interfere with household

appliances, some of which are

sensitive to this phenomenon. It is

strongly advised not to place front

loudspeakers closer than 50cm to your

TV screen. Frame geometry as well as

colours can be severely distorted by

a magnetic field if the loudspeaker is

placed to close to the TV.

Paint

If you wish, you can paint your speaker

to match your room. We advise that

you paint the grille and the housing of

the speaker separately. For the frame:

remove the grille and place the paint

mask in position to protect the drivers.

For the grille: if necessary remove

the driver mask from the grille before

painting. You can put this mask back

into position after drying if you wish.

Conditions of guarantee

All Focal-JMlab loudspeakers are

covered by guarantee drawn up by

the official Focal-JMlab distributor

in your country. Your distributor can

provide all details concerning the

conditions of guarantee. Guarantee

cover extends at least to that granted

by the legal guarantee in force in the

country where the original purchase

invoice was issued.
