1 ENGLISH INTRODUCTION Thank you for choosing B&W. Please read this manual fully before unpacking and installing the product. It will help you to optimise its performance. B&W maintains a network of dedicated distributors in over 60 countries who will be able to help you should you have any problems your dealer cannot resolve. UNPACKING(figure 1) - Fold the carton flaps right back and invert the carton and contents. - Lift the carton clear of the contents. - Remove the inner packing from the product. We suggest you retain the packing for future use. POSITIONING(figures 2 & 3) Mount the speakers on firm dedicated stands that place the tweeters approximately at ear level. Bookshelf mounting is possible but allows less opportunity for optimising the sound. The stand or shelf used can affect the sound quality of the speaker. Ask your dealer for advice on the best type for your needs. As an initial guide (figure 2): - Position the speakers and the centre of the listening area approximately at the corners of an equilateral triangle. - Keep the speakers at least 1.5m apart to maintain left-right separation. - Keep the speaker baffles at least 0.5m clear of walls. Stray magnetic fields The speaker drive units create stray magnetic fields that extend beyond the boundaries of the cabinet. We recommend you keep magnetically sensitive articles (television and computer screens, computer discs, audio and video tapes, swipe cards and the like) at least 0.5m from the speaker. CONNECTIONS(figures 4 & 5) All connections should be made with the equipment switched off. There are 2 pairs of terminals at the back of the speaker which permit bi-wiring if desired. On delivery, the separate pairs are connected together with high-quality links for use with a single 2-core cable. For single cable connection, leave the links in place and use either pair of terminals on the speaker (figure 4). Ensure the positive terminal on the speaker (marked + and coloured red) is connected to the positive output terminal of the amplifier and negative (marked – and coloured black)to negative. Incorrect connection can result in poor imaging and loss of bass. To bi-wire, remove the links by loosening the terminal caps and use a separate 2-core cable from the amplifier to each pair of terminals. This can improve the resolution of low-level detail. Observe the correct polarity as before. When bi-wiring, incorrect connection can also impair the frequency response (figure 5). Ask your dealer for advice when choosing cable. Keep the total impedance below the maximum recommended in the specification and use a low inductance cable to avoid attenuation of the highest frequencies. FINE TUNING Before fine tuning, double check that all the connections in the installation are correct and secure. Moving the speakers further from the walls will reduce the general level of bass. Space behind the speakers also helps to create an impression of depth. Conversely, moving the speakers closer to the walls will increase the level of bass. If the bass is uneven with frequency it is usually due to the excitation of resonance modes in the room. Even small changes in the position of the speakers or the listeners can have a profound effect on how these resonances affect the sound. Try mounting the speakers along a different wall. Even moving large pieces of furniture can have an effect. If the central image is poor, try moving the speakers closer together or toeing them in so they point at or just in front of the listeners (figure 3). If the sound is too harsh, increase the amount of soft furnishing in the room (for example use heavier curtains), or reduce it if the sound is dull and lifeless. Test for flutter echoes by clapping your hands and listening for rapid repetitions. Reduce them by the use of irregular shaped surfaces such as bookshelves and large pieces of furniture. Ensure the speaker stands are firm on the floor. If you have a carpet, use carpet-piercing spikes and adjust them to take up any unevenness in the floor. AFTER CARE The cabinet surface usually only requires dusting. If you wish to use an aerosol cleaner, remove the grille first by gently pulling it away from the cabinet. Spray onto the cleaning cloth, not directly onto the cabinet. The grille fabric may be cleaned with a normal clothes brush whilst the grille is detached from the cabinet. Avoid touching the drive unit diaphragms, especially the tweeter, as damage may result. FRANÇAIS INTRODUCTION Nous vous remercions davoir choisi B&W. Veuillez lire attentivement lensemble de ce document avant de déballer et de raccorder votre matériel. Il vous aidera à obtenir les meilleurs résultats. B&W entretient un réseau de distributeurs officiels dans plus de 60 pays ; ils sont en mesure de vous aider au cas où vous rencontreriez des difficultés que votre revendeur ne pourrait résoudre. DEBALLAGE(figure 1) - Repliez totalement les rabats du carton puis retournez lemballage avec son contenu. - Soulevez le carton pour le vider de son contenu. - Retirez lemballage intérieur. Nous vous suggérons de conserver lemballage pour une utilisation ultérieure. POSITIONNEMENT(figures 2 & 3) Posez les enceintes sur des supports appropriés afin que les tweeters se situent approximativement à hauteur doreilles. Linstallation en étagères est envisageable mais réduit les possibilités doptimisation sonore. Les supports ou étagères utilisés peuvent modifier la qualité de reproduction. Interrogez votre revendeur afin de connaître le choix le plus judicieux. A titre indicatif (figure 2) : - Disposez les enceintes acoustiques ainsi que le centre de la zone découte approximativement aux trois angles dun triangle équilatéral. - Ecartez vos enceintes dau moins 1,5 m pour obtenir une séparation gauche/droite suffisante. - Napprochez jamais vos enceintes à moins de 0,5 m dun mur. Champs magnétiques parasites Les moteurs de haut-parleurs émettent un champ magnétique parasite qui rayonne au-delà des limites de lenceinte acoustique. Nous vous recommandons déloigner les appareils sensibles à ce type de rayonnements (téléviseurs et moniteurs informatiques, disquettes informatiques, bandes magnétiques audio ou cassettes vidéo, cartes à puces etc.) à plus de 0,5 m du coffret de lenceinte. RACCORDEMENT(figures 4 & 5) Toutes les connexions doivent être réalisées lorsque les appareils sont éteints.
