Woofer/Midrange Driver

Uses a 6.5" magnesium driver from the Seas Excel series, known for extreme performance and a light, stiff cone.

Woofer Driver

Features a 6.5" SEAS coated paper driver, known for being light, stiff, and reducing resonances effectively.

Unpacking

Carefully unpack the speaker, save the box for future transport. Contact your retailer if any damage occurs.

Installation and Placement Tips

Room Acoustics

Achieving the best sound depends on the listening environment; improper setup can make even good equipment sound bad.

Sound Reflections

Carpets and soft furniture absorb sound; empty areas produce hard reflections that can distort sound perspective.

Bass Frequency Amplification

Placement near walls amplifies bass. Keep speakers at least 30cm from walls for clear sound reproduction.

Furniture Vibration

Be aware that furniture may vibrate and cause unwanted noise at high volume levels.

Room Dimensions

Avoid quadratic rooms or rooms where length is twice the width to prevent unwanted resonance issues.

Subwoofer Placement

Subwoofer placement significantly affects frequency response. Patience and experimentation are needed for optimal results.

Cable Management

Keep cables short, ensure clean connections, and separate signal cables from power and loudspeaker cables.

Front Speaker Placement

Place front speakers symmetrically, 80% of listener distance apart, with a recommended angle of 45°.

Dual Subwoofer Benefits

Using two subwoofers increases maximum sound pressure level and improves room frequency response.

Final Sound Advice

Good sound is subjective; experiment to find your preferred sound. Good luck with your setup!

Mounting and Connecting Tips

Mounting Options

Speakers are typically placed standing by a wall. Wall proximity affects bass level; experiment with distances.

Phase Connection

Always connect with correct phase (+ to +, - to -). Incorrect phase affects sound, especially low frequencies.

Overload Protection

Be cautious of overloading drivers and amplifier at high loads. Avoid extreme volume and excessive EQ boosts.

Initial Play-in Time

Drivers require 50-100 hours of initial playing time to reach optimal sound. Use normally during this period.

Sound Settings

Room Tuning Bass Adjustment

Use bass plugs in reflex gates to adjust lower boundary frequency. Settings depend on room size and personal taste.

Deep Bass Setting

Achieve deepest bass with one plug in the lower gate, suitable for smaller rooms. Bass level at mode 2 (+3dB).

Quick Bass Setting

Use without bass plugs for a 'quick' bass, ideal for large rooms where bass frequencies are often amplified.

Neutral Bass Setting

Achieve a flat frequency response with two plugs in the gates. Bass level set at mode 1 (0dB).

Neutral Bass Reproduction Basics

No single neutral setting suits all rooms. Factors like room, placement, and output levels influence sound.

Treble Level Adjustment

Treble level is adjustable in four modes (0dB, +3dB, -2dB, -4dB) using a loop connector for sonic tuning.

Bass Level Adjustment

Bass level is adjustable in four modes (0dB, +3dB) using a loop connector for flat response or boost.

Binding Post and Bi-wiring

Default setting uses all terminals. Without loops, terminals can be used for tweeter, midrange, or woofer only.
