Frequently Asked Questions - VOCE TRIANGLE

Which amplifier to use with VOCE speakers?

Use a good quality amplifier with sufficient power. It is better to choose a powerful amp to avoid distortion. Respect the power handling of your speakers (100 W for floorstanding, 50 W for bookshelf and center).

How to connect the VOCE speakers?

Use cables of sufficient gauge, preferably TRIANGLE High Definition cables. Ensure to respect the + and - polarities and use identical cable lengths for the left and right channels.

What distance to maintain between speakers and wall?

For a floorstanding speaker, leave a minimum space of 40 cm between the wall and the speaker. Avoid corners of the room to not excite resonances. A position close to the wall reinforces bass, a position farther away improves soundstage.

How to clean the VOCE speakers?

The titanium dome of the tweeter is very fragile: do not touch it with fingers or a cloth. Use a very soft non-synthetic brush if necessary. The cone speaker diaphragm can be wiped with a dry lint-free cloth. The synthetic surface can be cleaned with a damp cloth.

What is the warranty for TRIANGLE VOCE speakers?

The speakers have a 5-year warranty, and 2 years for subwoofer amplifiers. The warranty covers manufacturing defects and takes effect from the date of purchase. It is non-transferable and does not cover damage due to misuse.

Can I place the speakers near a TV?

If the TV is a CRT, maintain a minimum distance of 1 meter to avoid color distortion due to the speaker's magnetism. This precaution is not necessary for center channels, which are shielded.

How to install the speakers for home theater?

Place the main speakers as for stereo. The center channel must be stable (use a suitable stand). For the subwoofer, avoid corners of the room and place it close to the main speakers. The rear channels should be placed between 1.5 and 2 meters high, out of ear reach, to reproduce ambiance.

What setting to use on the amplifier for bookshelves in home theater?

It is recommended to set the amplifier to 'SMALL' to limit bass and avoid overloading the small speakers. Consult your amplifier's manual for detailed settings.

What to do in case of damage under warranty?

If the speaker is in its country of purchase, contact the dealer. If used in another country, contact the national distributor or TRIANGLE (France) to obtain the address of an authorized repairer.

Why avoid using a low-power amplifier?

A low-power amplifier driven to high volume can clip and distort, seriously damaging the speakers. Signs of distortion are unpleasant highs and less clear instruments. Immediately lower the volume if this occurs.

USER MANUAL VOCE TRIANGLE

Thank you and congratulations on the purchase of your TRIANGLE audio video product.

At TRIANGLE, we take the utmost care during design and manufacture to ensure that you will have many hours of enjoyment and listening pleasure with our products. Your TRIANGLE loudspeaker has been developed for maximum ease of use, for the highest level satisfaction in terms of listening experience. You will get the best from this high-quality product by following these guidelines.

UNPACKING

Open the box and remove all staples, then carefully take the speaker out of the box. When unpacking, if you notice any defects on any of its elements, contact your dealer.

Before disposing of the packaging, check that nothing is left inside.

Connections :

For optimal sound reproduction, we suggest you choose a loudspeaker cable of sufficient high quality to connect your amplifier to your TRIANGLE loudspeakers. TRIANGLE's high definition OFC cable will guarantee the best results. You should use cables of the same length for the left and right channels and take special care to respect the + and - polarities for each channel.

ATTENTION:

If one of the speakers is placed next to a television, color settings may be affected by the speaker's magnetism. Keep a minimum distance of 1m . This precaution is not necessary for central speakers, which are shielded (protected against magnetic field interference).

Positioning for the stereo:

When positioning your loudspeakers, apply the following rules:

• Avoid rooms with too much reverberation, such as tiled rooms without carpets or curtains.
• Your listening area should not be too close to the loudspeakers, leave a minimum of 2 ~m .
• 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

• If possible, place the speakers so that sound is «diffused» lengthwise within the room.
• Avoid placing them in corners as this excites the room's own resonance. Leave at least 40~cm between the wall and the speaker. Adjust the position of the speakers in relation to the rear wall. Generally, a position close to the rear wall improves the response in low frequencies (to the detriment of the image) and inversely, a position far from the wall reproduces a wide and deep sound image. Carry out several test positions to find the best room set up.

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

5. signal 5:1:2 rear speakers

6. signal 6:1:3 rear speakers
7. 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 previous paragraph on stereo positioning).

• The central speaker should be placed along the line formed by the two main speakers. Special The central speaker should be placed along the line formed by the two main speakers. Special stands are available for the central speakers (contact your dealer).

• For home cinema setups a subwoofer is particularly recommended to reproduce the low register special effects channel featured on supports such as audio or video DVDs. The positioning of the subwoofer is not critical if you select a crossover frequency below 80Hz . Above this frequency, it is better to move the subwoofer closer to the main speakers, the best position being in between the two main speakers. Ensure that it is not placed in the corner of the room to avoid creating unpleasant resonance.

• We recommend that you place the rear speakers at between 1.5 and 2 ~m in height. Their role is to reproduce surround sound; the listener should not be able to locate them and they should not be placed at ear level. TRIANGLE's rear speakers are supplied with special wall mount accessories. Ensure that you take into account the weight of the speaker when fixing it onto the wall. You will find further instructions for configuring your installation in your A/V amplifier owner manual.

Choosing the Amplifier;

For optimal results, it is important to choose a good quality amplifier with sufficient power. It is preferable to use a powerful amplifier within reasonable limits, with less risk of distortion, than demanding too much from a less powerful amplifier, which will ultimately clip and seriously risk damaging your loudspeakers. Finally, remember that a volume dial set at medium position does not mean that the amplifier is at «medium» power. It mainly depends on input sensitivity and source output level.
