DISCLAIMER
The 4mm plugs used on modern hi-fi speaker cables should never be inserted into European mains sockets even though
they may fit. Needless to say, this is pointless and can be fatal if tried. Make sure that young members of the family are
prevented from ever doing this.
STANDS
For loudspeakers designed for use on stands, best results will be obtained if the stands are rigidly coupled to the floor
using carpet piercing spikes. Floor-standing loudspeakers should also be coupled to the floor using the carpet piercing
spikes supplied. This will help preserve the outstanding mid-band clarity which is a hallmark of Epos loudspeakers. Epos
has designed its own stands to suit the M5i and M12i.
The floor-standing and centre channel models are supplied with their own support plinth. Contact your dealer for further
information or visit the Epos website ww.epos-acoustics.com
SPIKES
Four threaded spikes are provided with each floor-standing speaker, together with individual locking nuts. These should
be screwed into the metal inserts in the bottom of the cabinets, or into its plinth. Once these are adjusted to correct the
level of the speaker and stop it from rocking, tighten the locking nuts, so as to prevent the spikes from coming loose.
Adjusting the front spikes higher will tip the speaker up and can give sonic benefits.
CONNECTION
Ensure that your amplifier is switched off before you make, or break, any connections, because damage may occur to
your amplifier if shorted.
Your Epos loudspeakers are equipped with insulated nickel plated binding posts with excellent electrical contact and
current specification. The posts are connected to the individual drivers as denoted on the rear panel label.
Removable metal links enable the loudspeaker to be conventionally wired with a single cable, bi-wired or bi-amped,
(tri-wired or tri-amped where applicable). These techniques often bring benefits in terms of increased clarity and
definition.
If you are in any doubt consult your dealer or visit www.epos-acoustics.com
BI-WIRING/TRI-WIRING
Bi-wiring involves the use of two pairs of speaker cables between your loudspeakers and amplifier. Tri-wiring requires
three pairs of speaker cables. If you wish to bi-wire your M5i, M8i or M12i speakers, or tri-wire your M16i or M22i speakers
it is essential that you first unscrew all the binding posts and remove the metal links that join them together. Store them
safely for possible future use. Once the links are removed, the drive units will be electrically separate and should be
connected to the driving amplifier with individual high quality cables, as shown.
