Setting Up SYD
SYD is designed to perform optimally positioned at least 8” from the rear wall in an average listening
room. However, it may not be possible to install the speaker in this position and since rooms vary in
shape, size, and furnishing, a certain amount of experimentation is necessary to determine the most
suitable position.
Moving the speaker very close to the rear wall will enhance the bass frequencies but will tend to reduce
soundstage depth, while moving the speaker away from the rear wall will tend to have the opposite
eect. Avoid positioning the speaker close to or in the corner of a room, as this will excite undesirable
room coupling in the low and middle frequencies. Room characteristics and positioning have a profound
eect on the performance of the speakers, so time and eort devoted to achieving the optimum
positions will be rewarded.
Ensure that the ON/OFF Switch is in the OFF position.
Follow the instructions on the ensuing pages to connect your audio sources to SYD.
Connect the power cord from SYD to the wall outlet.
ATTENTION
When connecting audio cables the ON/OFF Switch must be turned OFF. After connecting all cables,
the unit can be turned ON. When the volume is high, this system can produce noise levels that
could permanently damage your hearing. SYD is a self-powered speaker system. Do not connect the
speaker inputs to the outputs of a stereo amplier. Damage may occur. Use only the power cord
provided with SYD.

Connecting a Subwoofer
SYD is equipped with a RCA connector to provide output signal to a powered subwoofer. Simply
connect a single RCA cable from the SUB OUT connection on the SYD to the Audio Input on your
subwoofer. If your subwoofer has a stereo L/R RCA input, either input will work.
We recommend the Kanto sub6 or sub8 powered subwoofer with crossover and volume controls. Most
quality subwoofers oer these controls, which allow you to customize the amount of bass you will
experience.
