OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Safety Instructions

1. General information

- Please read and follow these safety instructions.

- Keep them safe for future reference.

- Observe all warnings on the speaker and in the manual. Please check the speaker for damage before use. The speaker must be in perfect working condition. Damaged parts may lead to personal injury.

2. Use only as directed

- Connect the speaker(s) according to the instructions in the manual.

- Many ELAC speakers are equipped with spikes and/or anti-slip feet. They are explicitly provided for levelling the speaker. For levelling on an uneven floor, unscrew the spikes or anti-slip feet by 2-3 turns of thread. The speaker should always be in perfect vertical alignment: the stability of the speaker must not be compromised by using spikes or anti-slip feet as the speaker may tip-over.

3. Location

• Install the speakers on a level surface only

- When choosing the location of these speakers do not place them in locations that are:

• In direct sunlight

- Very humid

- Prone to vibrations

• Exceptionally hot or cold

- Near CRT Televisions (the speakers are not magnetically shielded and may cause color issues with a CRT based TV)

- Close to magnetic cards (Since the speakers are not magnetically shielded placing magnetic cards such as credit cards or commuter cards may cause them to fail).

WARNING! Please ensure the product is perfectly stable to avoid injury from tip-over. Please note, that stability can be increased by using spikes on carpeted surfaces. However, the mounting of spikes must be carried out carefully due to their very sharp ends which may cause injuries. The stability on slippery floors can be increased by using Velcro fastening tape or double-sided adhesive tape. Do not install the speaker near any heat sources such as radiators, heating valves, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat, or in areas where there is a risk of explosion.

- Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.

- Do not install the speaker in a closed rack or in a closed cupboard.

- Do not put burning candles on or near the speaker.

- Do not install the speaker near transformers because electromagnetic stray fields can cause hum noise on woofers.

- In combination with certain materials / lacquers / material surfaces, anti-slip feet or spike washers may cause colored imprints on the surfaces.

4. Overload

Extreme overload of the device due to very high volume may cause damage to individual components. Because of the possible danger, you should never leave loudspeakers under extreme overload conditions unattended.

5. Service

DANGER! Do not open the cabinet because the components and conductors may carry current! Servicing to be carried out by qualified service personnel only.

Servicing is required when the loudspeaker has been damaged in any way, such as damage to the power supply cord or the plug, or when liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen onto the loudspeaker, the speaker has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not open the loudspeaker. Servicing should be carried out by qualified service personnel only.

6. Cleaning

NOTE: Clean only with soft, smooth cloth or with dust brush. Do not use scouring agents, alcohol, benzene, furniture polish or other agents for cleaning! Modern furniture is often coated with multiple varnishes and plastics which can be treated with chemical agents. Some of these agents contain substances which degrade or soften the rubber feet. Therefore we advise that you place an anti-slip mat underneath the loudspeaker(s).

7. Volume

CAUTION! Continuous high volume may cause severe damage to your hearing. Please listen responsibly.

8. Disposal

The packaging is made from recyclable materials. Dispose of this in an environmentally friendly manner. At end of life do not dispose of the speaker(s) with standard household waste. The speaker must be recycled in accordance with local legislation. Ask your local government for further information on recycling as the device contains valuable raw materials. Disable the speaker(s) before disposal.

Philosophy

Thank you for purchasing this ELAC product.

Since the time we started (1926), ELAC has always striven to achieve the very best.

Your new ELAC speakers are built to the highest standards using high-quality components that are carefully constructed to deliver the best-in-class sound quality. They are developed by a passionate group of individuals whose soul purpose is to bring a new dimension of sound quality into your home. Enjoy!

Before Use

Avoid damage to the speakers and other components:

• Carefully unbox the speakers carefully to avoid physically damaging your speakers.
  • Use appropriate gauge wires (minimum of 16 gauge wire for runs up to 25 feet).
• Make sure wire polarity is connected correctly. Most speaker cables are coded for ease of use. Make sure positive (red) connection on the amplifier terminal is connected to the positive (red) on your speakers. Follow the same instructions for the negative side. Strip off approximately 1/2" of the insulation from the ends of the speaker cable, twist the bare strands and insert into the binding post.
• Ensure your equipment is turned off before connecting speakers.
• Check to ensure positive and negative wires are not touching each other once they're connected to the speaker terminals.

Installing and Removing the Grills

The mesh grills of your Debut speakers are designed to be removable if desired. To remove it, hold the top or bottom edges of the grill close to the mounting points and pull gently. To replace the grill, align the pegs on the grills with the holes on the speaker and press in gently.

IMPORTANT!

ELAC F5.2/F6.2 Floorstanding Speakers Safety Clip

The ELAC F5.2 and F6.2 Floorstanding speakers include a safety clip pre-installed on the back of the cabinet for securing to a wall to prevent tip-over. Use support hooks (not included) screwed into a wall and pass appropriate size cord (not included) around the hook and through the safety clip. Test to ensure mounted hooks and cord will prevent tipping of the speaker.

F5.2/F6.2 Floorstanding Speaker Support Hooks & Cords (not included) Safety Clip (pre-installed) Wall

CAUTION:

The safety clip is not a mounting fixture and the speaker should not be hung on the wall using the clip. ELAC does not claim responsibility for damage resulting from improper assembly, installation, insufficient strength of the installation materials, misuse, or natural disasters.

Speaker Placement

Achieve maximum performance and optimal sound quality from your ELAC Debut speakers with proper speaker placement and set-up. While not all rooms are the same, use the following guidelines to configure the speakers for your particular room. There are no “exact” rules or boundaries in setting up your speakers but the following suggestions will help optimize your desired results. Remember the best sound set-up is what sounds best for you so don’t be afraid to experiment and make adjustments to the placement and directivity of the speakers.

WALLS 1'-2' FEET 1'-2' FEET FIG. 1

Place the speakers approximately one to two feet away (fig. 1) from boundaries such as wall(s) and especially corners. Close proximity to a side or rear wall will enhance bass performance (output), but being too close (particularly to a corner) may result in bass that is unnatural. If a corner location is unavoidable, try to position the loudspeaker so that the distance to the rear wall is not equal to the distance to the side wall.

Stereo Setup

• For the best results and the most realistic stereo image and lifelike sound, place the speakers so that an equilateral triangle (fig. 2) is created between the speakers and your favorite listening position. This set up creates the optimum imaging performance.
• If you find that your B5.2/B6.2 or F5.2/F6.2 left and right speakers are too far apart, angle (toe in) them towards the listening position to gain a more focused central image.

2-CHANNEL STEREO SETUP

Surround Sound Setup

Whether you use the B5.2/B6.2 bookshelf or the F5.2/F6.2 floorstanding speakers for a 5.1-channel surround set-up, avoid placing the surround speakers forward of your listening position. The surround speakers should be spread apart wider than the front speakers. In addition, elevate the speakers to the same height or slightly higher as the front speakers for the most enveloping sound field. Like the front speakers, you may need to experiment with the positioning by pointing the rear surround speakers towards the listening area.

5.1-CHANNEL SURROUND SET-UP

Center Speaker Setup

The ELAC C5.2/C6.2 center channel is designed to produce dialog sounds and should be positioned above or below (fig. 3) your television. Align it with the center of the television. As much as possible, try to keep the C5.2/C6.2 close to the same level (height) as your front speakers for a more even sound stage. Keeping the same height for the center channel can be very challenging so it might be necessary to tilt the center speaker up (if too low) or down (if too high), to aim it towards the listening area.

Optimal results for the center are obtained by setting the receiver/processor center channel size to small. If you have a choice, set the crossover frequency to 80Hz.

OW4.2 On-Wall Speaker Setup

The ELAC OW4.2 on-wall speakers are designed as either on-wall surround speakers, on-wall front channel speakers, or on-wall side channel speakers. Do not block the speaker vents on the bottom of the speakers. We have included wall brackets for mounting the speakers to the wall, however mounting hardware is not included. We highly suggest that a professional installer performs this installation. Different wall materials require different types of mounting hardware.

Mount the speaker bracket using the supplied screws to the rear of the speaker as shown in Fig. 1.

Mount the wall bracket to the wall using the appropriate mounting hardware based on your wall type. We recommend you consult an installation professional for mounting the wall plate to ensure a secure mount. Wall Mounting screws are not provided.
