Important information
Handling instructions
- The top and back panel of the unit may become warm after prolonged use. This is not due to a defect.
- Turn off the power when the unit is not used.
Protect the power cord
- Follow the instructions below to prevent abnormal operation, electrical shock, fire or personal injury:
- Hold the plug firmly when inserting it into the socket.
- Avoid heat-producing devices.
- Do not place objects on the power cord.
- Do not carry out service work on or change the power cord.
Positioning
Do not place the unit in any of the fol. places:
- In sunlight, close to heat-producing devices or in an enclosed rack.
In places with high temperatures (40C or more) or high relative humidity (90% or more). - In dirty places as some internal parts may be damaged.
Do not put your fingers or any other objects into the unit
- Touching the internal parts is dangerous and may cause injury or damage. Do not open the cabinet.
- Do not place any foreign matter in the unit.
Interference
Placing the unit near a television set, radio or video player may cause poor picture and sound quality. In that case, move the unit further away from the television set, radio or video player.
Condensation
Condensation may occur in the following cases:
- When the unit is moved directly from a cold to a warm place.
- When the unit is used in a room where the radiator has just been switched on or a place where the cold air from the air-conditioning system is directed at the unit.
- If the unit is used in the summer in a warm and humid room just after it has been moved from an air-conditioned room.
- If there is steam or a high level of humidity in the room.
In case of condensation, the unit will not work properly. Turn off the unit. Unplug the unit and leave it for 2-3 hours. The unit will then have adapted to the environment and any condensation will have disappeared.
Loudspeaker positioning
Ideally the Tangent loudspeakers should be positioned at least 50 cm from a rear wall, 1 meter from a side wall and at least 2 metres apart. The space between the two loudspeakers and the distance form the listeners are important. If loudspeakers are placed too close together or too far apart, the stereo image will not be fully developed. In average living rooms, speaker spacing between 2 and 4 metres will usually produce satisfactory results. The listeners distance from the loudspeakers should be at least equal to and preferably greater than the distance between the loudspeakers. Tests should be made with both speech and music before deciding upon final locations.
The rear panel
The rear panel of this speaker is equipped with an amplifier for driving the speakers.
This makes the speaker extremely flexible for use in many different places.
1. Input
This 3.5mm stereo jack input can be connected to either a line output signal or a pre output signal. The input can be both a stereo or a mono signal.
You can connect your MP3 player to this input via the head phone output on the MP3 player. please notice that if a signal is not provided for more than 10 minutes, the speaker will go into standby by it self. Once a signal is provided again, the speaker will turn on again.
Note: Do not attempt to connect a speaker output to this connector. It will damage the speaker.
2. Output
This 3.5mm stereo jack output is for connect another Tangent EVO E5A. It is also possible to connect an active subwoofer to this output, if the bass level is not sufficient. Please notice that the signal in this connector will follow the signal in the input connector, when the "volume bypass" is set to ON.
3. Channel select
When a stereo signal is provided to the EVO E5A, it is possible to choose whether the speaker should play as a LEFT speaker, a RIGHT speaker or a MONO speaker. If two EVO E5A are connected to you setup, the speaker you have placed on the right side, should be set to RIGHT, and the left speaker should be set to LEFT, in order to obtain the correct stereo perspective.
If only one speaker is connected this switch should be set to "MONO"
4. Volume bypass
This switch has two settings:
ON: When the switch is set to ON, the volume level of the EVO E5A will be set to maximum level and the speaker cannot be remote controlled anymore. This should be used, when the source connected to the speakers are controlling the volume, or the volume is controlled by the speaker this speaker is connected to.
OFF: When the switch is set to OFF, the volume and standby function can be controlled by the remote. Please notice that the volume level on the OUTPUT connector is also controlled by the remote, when the volume bypass switch is set to OFF.
5. On/Off
Mains power switch.
6. AC input
Check that all other connections have been made correctly before inserting the mains plug into the wall socket. Then insert the plug into a suitable socket.
Note: If the unit is to be used abroad, you may need an adapter.
CAUTION: Do not turn on the power before all connections have been made correctly. You might break your new unit. Check that all connections have been made correctly before turning on the power. Check that the mains voltage is identical with the voltage printed on the rear panel before turning on the power.
The remote
This speaker can be controlled via a remote control. The IR (Infrared) receiver is placed between the tweeter and woofer. So the included remote control must be pointed towards this area in order to control the speaker via the remote.
1. Standby
Press this button to set the speaker into standby. Press it again to turn on the speaker again. If no signal is provided to the speaker for a period longer than 10 minutes, the speaker will automatically go into standby.
Please notice that this button will not work, if the "volume bypass" button on the rear panel is set to ON.
2. Volume decrease
Press this button to decrease the volume.
Please notice that this button will not work, if the "volume bypass" button on the rear panel is set to ON.
3. Volume increase
Press this button to increase the volume.
Please notice that this button will not work, if the "volume bypass" button on the rear panel is set to ON.
Connecting a stereo setup
The illustration below shows how to setup two speakers to a source. The stereo setup shown below is with volume control via the first speaker in the chain.
The source is connected to the line input on the speaker to the left. This can be a MP3 player via the headphone output, it can be a CD player or it can be a source with a pre output (Volume controlled.)
The line output from the left speaker is connected directly to the line input on the right speaker. The output on the right speaker can be used for e.g. a subwoofer or another Tangent EVO E5A.
The settings of the switches on the rear panels should be as described below.
The left speaker: The channel select switch must be set to L (left) since it the speaker that is physically placed on the left side. If the physical position is switched, the channel select switches on the speakers should be switches as well. That means the channel select switch should always be the same as the physical placement of the speaker.
The volume bypass switch should be set to OFF. This way you can control the volume via the included remote.
The right speaker: The channel select switch must be set to R (right) since it the speaker that is physically placed on the right side. The channel select switch should always be the same as the physical placement of the speaker.
The volume bypass switch should be set to ON. Then the volume will follow the signal provided to the speaker, which in this case is controlled by the left speaker.
If no signal is provided to the speakers for a period longer than 10 minutes, both the speakers will automatically go into standby.
Connecting a mono setup
The illustration below shows how to setup one speaker to a source. The mono setup shown below is with volume control via the speaker.
Channel select: MONO
Volume bypass: OFF
The source is connected to the line input on the speaker. This can be a MP3 player via the headphone output, it can be a CD player or it can be a source with a pre output (Volume controlled.)
The settings of the switches on the rear panel should be as described below.
The channel select switch should be set to mono, since only one speaker is connected to the setup. This way you are sure to get all the sounds from both the left and the right channels of the input connected to the speaker.
The volume bypass should be set to OFF if you whish to be able to control the speaker via remote. If you prefer to control the volume level via the source connected (it could be a MP3
player), the volume bypass switch should be set to ON. Then the speaker will turn on when a source is connected. If no signal is provided to the speaker for a period longer than 10 minutes, the speaker will automatically go into standby.
