GRILLES
The LS3/5a is different from many loudspeakers as it is designed
to give its specified performance with the grille in place. Using
the LS3/5a with the grille removed will therefore adversely affect
the specified performance.
The front grille Tygan cloth is hand-woven on specialist
equipment in England. If the Tygan cloth appears loose over
time, it can be re-tensioned - after removing it from the
loudspeaker - by gently heating it with a hair-dryer and then
allowing it to cool. Take care in doing this, and do not hold the
hair dryer against the material - rather gently “wave” the heated
air stream from about 200mm - 300mm away depending on the
heating power of your appliance, until the desired result is
achieved. Never apply too much heat (or use a DIY heat gun)
as this could damage or melt the Tygan.
If, for any reason damage is apparent to the front grilles, spares
are available from your dealer or direct from Falcon Acoustics.
CONNECTIONS
Please ensure that you observe left/right integrity and correct
polarity with all connections. On each loudspeaker the red
coloured terminal is positive and the black coloured terminal is
negative, so connect the positive terminals on the amplifier to
the positive terminals on the loudspeaker. The gold-plated
terminals on the Falcon LS3/5a will accept 4mm banana plugs.
We recommend that you use good quality banana plugs and
loudspeaker cables.
LOOKING AFTER YOUR FALCON ACOUSTICS LS3/5a
Your LS3/5a’s are veneered using real wood veneers and then
lacquered for protection.
They will darken a little and gain depth of colour over time. They
should not be left in direct sunlight as this will fade the wood.
Occasional gentle cleaning with a good furniture polish and a
soft cloth is all they will need. The front grille’s Tygan cloth can
be cleaned by removing it from the loudspeaker and either gently
using a vacuum cleaner or a clean, soft paint brush, or by
dabbing gently with the sticky side of clear tape.
