Frequently Asked Questions - SEXTAN 202 TRIANGLE

Which cables should I use to connect the SEXTAN 202 speaker?

Use a sufficiently thick cable specifically designed for acoustic speakers, preferably the TRIANGLE High Definition cable. Use identical lengths for the right and left channels and respect the + and - polarities.

Can I place the speaker near a TV?

If the TV is a CRT, maintain a minimum distance of 1 meter to avoid color disturbances. Center speakers are shielded and do not require this precaution.

What is bi-wiring and how to implement it on the SEXTAN 202?

Bi-wiring consists of using two separate cables to connect the amplifier to the woofer and tweeter terminals of the speaker. To do this, remove the connection plates from the terminal block. Use two identical amplifiers for bi-amping, or a single amplifier with A and B outputs for simple bi-wiring.

What amplifier power is recommended for the SEXTAN 202?

Provide a good quality amplifier with sufficient power (at least 80 W RMS per channel). It is better to use a powerful amplifier at moderate volume than a weak amplifier turned up high, as distortion can damage the speakers.

How to position the speakers for optimal stereo listening?

Place the speakers at least 2 meters apart and 2 meters from the listening area. Avoid corners and walls that are too close (minimum 40 cm). Position them along the length of the room. Move them away from the wall for a wide soundstage, or closer for more bass.

Can I use the SEXTAN 202 in a home theater system?

Yes, it can serve as the left or right main speaker. Pair it with a center channel, a subwoofer, and rear channels. Place the center speaker on the same line as the mains. The subwoofer should be between the main speakers, not in a corner.

How to maintain the SEXTAN 202 speaker?

Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth. Never use chemical or abrasive products. Avoid exposure to moisture and extreme temperatures.

What is the warranty period and how to activate it?

The warranty is 5 years from the date of purchase for the first user. To activate it, send the warranty card together with a copy of the invoice to TRIANGLE. The warranty covers manufacturing defects but not damage due to misuse.

What to do in case of damage to the speaker?

Contact TRIANGLE customer service or an approved repairer. Do not attempt to repair yourself, as this would void the warranty. Keep the purchase invoice and serial number.

What are the main technical specifications of the SEXTAN 202?

Bass-reflex 2-way speaker, sensitivity 91 dB/W/m, frequency response 60 Hz – 20 kHz, power handling 80 W RMS, impedance 4 ohms, dimensions 200 x 500 x 314 mm, weight 9.5 kg.

Thank you for choosing TRIANGLE loudspeakers. We all wish you many years of enjoyable listening.

To fully take advantage of your TRIANGLE loudspeakers, we suggest that during installation you pay attention to the following instructions.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR USE

Connections :

For best sound reproduction we suggest you choose a loudspeaker cable of sufficient quality to be connected between your amplifier and TRIANGLE loudspeakers. High definition TRIANGLE OFC cable will provide the best results.

Use cables of the same length for the left and right channels.

Make sure to respect the + and - polarities for each channel.

PRECAUTIONS:

If one of the speakers is placed next to a television, the colours on the screen may be affected by the speaker's magnetism. Keep a minimum distance of 1m . This precaution is not necessary for central speakers: they are shielded (limitation of the radiated magnetic field).

Bi-wiring and bi-amplification

For those wishing to improve their listening system further, it is possible to use bi-wiring or bi-amplification. All loudspeakers in the 202 range can be bi-wired or biamplified.

With bi-amplification, interference between the woofers and other drivers is totally eliminated, as each one is driven by its amplifier. It is obligatory to use identical amplifiers to conserve the uniformity of the loudspeaker.

To do this, remove the terminal connection straps and use two stereo amplifiers. On the speakers, the upper terminals are the signal inputs for the midrange treble band, and the lower terminals are the signal inputs for the bass.

Use one amplifier to feed the bass, and the second for the midrange and treble (see the diagram below).

Bi-amplification of your main speakers

Instead of two amplifiers, you can use a single amplifier if it is equipped with two sets of speakers A and B. Both sets should be selected. This is biwiring and not bi-amplification.

Positioning for the stereo:

When positioning your loudspeakers, follow the rules below:

• Avoid rooms with too much reverberation, such as tiled rooms with no carpets or curtains.

• Your listening zone should not be too close to the loud speakers: minimum 2m
  The distance between the speakers should be a minimum of 2 m for a good stereo effect.

• If possible, place the speakers so that they "diffuse" along the length of the room.

• Avoid placing them in the corners, this excites the rooms own resonance, leave at least 40~cm between the wall and the speaker. Position the speakers carefully in relation to the back wall. Generally, a position close to the back wall improves the response in low frequencies (to the detriment of the image) and inversely, a position far from the wall helps reproduction of a wide and deep sound image (carry out several tests to find the best compromise in your room).

Positioning for Home Cinema:

A typical home cinema installation includes:

1. Two main left and right speakers
2. A central speaker
3. One or several subwoofoers
4. Several surround speakers (signal 5:1: 2 rear speakers, signal 6:1: 3 rear speakers, signal 7:1: 4 rear speakers).

To place the main speakers in the best position, follow the same rules as for a stereo installation (see paragraph on stereo positioning).

• The center speaker should be placed on the same line formed by the two main speakers.
• A subwoofer is particularly recommended in home cinema to reproduce the special effects channel in the very low register on supports such as audio or video DVD. The positioning of the subwoofer is not critical if you select a connection frequency with the main speakers below 80Hz . Below this frequency, it is better to move the subwoofer close to the main speakers, the best position being between them. Ensure that it is not placed in the corner of the room to avoid creating unpleasant resonance.
• It is recommended to place the rear speakers at between 1.5 and 2 m in height. They are used to give atmosphere.

You will find further instructions for configuring your installation in your A/V amplifier owner's manual.

Choosing the Amplifier;

Use a good quality amplifier (the result will be better) and of a sufficient power. It is preferable to use a powerful amplifier, with less risk of distortion, than "boosting" a less powerful amplifier which will clip and seriously risk damaging your loudspeakers.

Finally, remember that a volume button in the middle position does not mean that the amplifier is at "middle" power. It depends firstly on the sensitivity of the inputs and the level of output of the source used.
