Frequently Asked Questions - SA2K / SA2K Master System Audio

How do I connect the SA2K to my amplifier?

Connect the cable from the amplifier output to the input terminal at the rear of the loudspeaker. The red terminal is positive and the black is negative. Ensure that + on the amplifier is connected to + on the loudspeaker, and that the right and left channels are correctly connected.

What is biwiring and how do I set it up?

Biwiring uses two separate cables per loudspeaker, one for the tweeter and one for the bass driver. Connect both cables to the same amplifier output terminal. This principle makes the sound clearer.

Can I use biamping with the SA2K?

Yes, most modern amplifiers can be extended with an extra power amplifier. Connect your existing amplifier to the tweeter section and the power amplifier to the bass driver section. Refer to your amplifier manual for details.

Where should I place my SA2K speakers for best sound?

Place the loudspeakers 2 to 3 meters apart and ensure the sound path to your listening position is unobstructed. Angle the speakers towards the listening position for clearer sound. Tweeters should be pointed to the middle.

How long does it take for the speakers to sound their best?

The loudspeakers need 50 to 100 hours of burn-in before the sound is optimised. No special precautions are required during this period.

How do I clean the SA2K loudspeakers?

Clean the sides with a moist cloth. For the front grill, carefully use a vacuum cleaner with a brush attached to the mouthpiece. Avoid touching the membranes and do not use strong detergents.

Are floor stands available for the SA2K?

Yes, the SA2K is prepared for the FS2K floor stand. It allows flexible placement. See www.system-audio.com for more information.

Where can I find the serial number?

The serial number is on the box of the loudspeaker. It is recommended to write it down on the invoice from the dealer and keep it with your insurance documents.

What should I do after unpacking the speakers?

Check the serial number on the box and record it. Then connect the speakers to your amplifier following the polarity markings. Give the speakers time to burn in for optimal sound.

Can I place the speakers close to a wall?

Yes, but be aware that the bass level increases when close to a wall. To reduce bass, increase the distance between the speaker and the wall.

USER MANUAL SA2K / SA2K Master System Audio

Thank you, for choosing SA. This manual will help you getting correctly started with your new loudspeakers. Follow the instructions of the manual to obtain the best sound. Please, note that the loudspeakers needs 50 to 100 hours burn in before the sound is optimised. There are no special precautions during the burn in period.

check the serial number

At the box for the loudspeaker you will find the serial number. It is a good idea to write the serial number down on the invoice from the dealer and save it together with your insurance documents. Contact your dealer if there is no serial number on the box.

connecting the loudspeaker to the amplifier

At the rear of the loudspeaker (pict. 1) you will find the input terminal. This is where you connect the cable from the amplifier output to the loudspeaker. The red terminal is positive the black is negative. Make sure that the cable is correctly connected so that + on the amplifier is connected to + on the loudspeaker. The right and the left channel should also be correctly connected. Make sure that the connection is solid and clean.

If you use one cable per loudspeaker (single wiring), you must connect the cable to both sets of terminals. You can also choose to connect the loudspeaker with double cables. This wiring principle is called biwiring.

biwiring makes the sound clearer

The biwiring principle means that the loudspeaker has two sets of input terminals, and is constructed in separate bass driver and tweeter sections. Thus you can use two cables per loudspeaker i.e. one for the tweeter and one for the bass driver. On the amplifier the two cables must be connected to the same input terminal.

biwiring can be upgraded to biamping

Most modern amplifiers can be extended with an extra power amplifier. This enables you to connect your existing amplifier to the tweeter section and connect the power amplifier to the bass driver section (pls. refer to your amplifier manual)

a good installation of the loudspeakers is vital to obtain a good sound

Place the loudspeakers 2 or 3 metres apart from each other.

The sound from the loudspeakers should be able to find its way to your preferred listening position unobstructed.

Be aware that:

• the bass level is increased when the loudspeaker is placed close to a wall, and reduced by making the distance to the wall bigger
• the sound gets clearer if the loudspeakers are angled towards the listening position
• the Tweeter units are mounted mirrored, so observe that the Speakers has to be installed with the Tweeters on both Speakers pointed to the middle

original accessories facilitate the installation

A compact loudspeaker can be freely placed anywhere. SA has made it easy to use this freedom by having prepared your loudspeakers for application of a floor stand, FS2K. See also www.system-audio.com

cleaning the SA loudspeakers
