INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your purchase of your IWO series loudspeaker. The

IWO Series is a break-through in loudspeaker design for the modern home,

combining style and decor with an amazing sound quality. Elegantly ﬁnished in

glossy white or black, it is only 4" deep, and yet produces a full-bodied dynamic

and detailed sound. It can be easily hung on your wall without looking obtrusive.

What’s more, you can even ﬂush-mount on your wall using the ingenious wall-

mounting kit (optional).

As far as performance is concerned, the IWO series ticks all the right boxes -

build quality, design, frequency and dynamic bandwidth, and detailing. Be it for

stereo or multichannel audio, you will ﬁnd a suitable solution from this range.

So go ahead and play your favourite music and movies and let your eyes and

ears feast.

UNPACKING

Your carton contains:

• 1 x loudspeaker

• Audiophile grade speaker cable, 3m long

Please retain all packing materials in case you need to transport the loudspeaker

We suggest that the loudspeaker be "broken in", i.e., played for some time, so

that it can quickly start performing at its best! If you do not want to do this when

you are at home set your source unit, i.e., CD player on "repeat entire disc"

mode. Then, allow the loudspeaker to play at moderate volume level for 6 - 8

hours.

AMPLIFIER SELECTION

We recommend using ampliﬁers whose continuous (rms) power per channel is

greater than or equal to that the speaker handles. Recommended power ratings

of ampliﬁer are given under speciﬁcations. Please see page 20 & 21.

In the event that the power is greater, care must be taken to avoid playing music

at excessively loud levels and thus damage the speaker. Also, while using an

ampliﬁer with rms power lower than the rated power handling of the speaker,

please ensure that the ampliﬁer volume is set such that there is no audible

distortion. Lower powered ampliﬁers, operating at close to maximum volume,

often produce distorted signals at high levels. This can lead to damage of the

high frequency driver, the tweeter.

WIRE CONNECTIONS

Please proceed with the connection in the following fashion:

1. Turn off the ampliﬁer.

2. Gently pull off the insulation on the cable ends (which has been pre-cut at

the factory) and twist the strands on the wire.

3. Insert them into the holes on the gold plated binding posts and turn them to

tighten. Please note the following

A. Verify that the wires from the positive terminal and negative terminal

do not touch each other, as a short-circuit could damage the ampliﬁer.

B. Verify that the loudspeaker is in proper phase: The + (red) terminal on

the loudspeaker is connected to the + (red) terminal on the ampliﬁer.

The - (black) terminal on the loudspeaker is connected to the - (black)

terminal on the ampliﬁer.

7a. PLACING STEREO OR FRONT LEFT AND RIGHT SPEAKERS IN

A MULTI-CHANNEL SYSTEM

Finding the right position for the IWO 501, 502, 611 and 612 are also very

important. The following should aid in locating that optimal position:

Ensure that there are no objects between the speaker and the listener in general.

Avoid placing the loudspeakers near corners which will boost the low frequency

level but at the same time create reﬂections in the midrange and treble area,

which results in a deterioration of the stereo image. As a guideline, for optimum

placement, the distance to the side wall should be at least 50 ~ 80 cm.

The distance between the IWO 501, 502, 611 and 612 should be the same as the

distance from either loudspeaker (left and right) to your preferred listening position

(thus forming an equilateral triangle with the left, right speakers, and you as the

three vertices.) If distances are not a premium, then the optimal position could be

attained by playing a stereo recording, separating the left and right speakers till an

acoustical hole is formed in the middle. Then bring the two speakers together to

attain a uniform sound front.

Another important point to bear in mind while placing the speakers is that the

tweeters of the speaker are at ear level. Detach the grill so you can see the tweeter
