Frequently Asked Questions - HERITAGE XLS 15 ELIPSON

How to install the feet of the HERITAGE XLS 15 speaker?

The speaker comes with two types of stands: an angled stand (recommended to optimize acoustic phase) and a straight stand. Attach the chosen stand to the speaker using the provided screws. You can also place the speaker directly on a dedicated optional base.

What is the ideal position for speakers in a stereo setup?

Place the speakers symmetrically facing the listening position, forming an equilateral triangle. They should be at the same distance from the rear wall and side surfaces. Avoid corners to prevent exaggerating the bass.

How to use the supplied foam plug?

The foam plug reduces the bass level if the speaker is too close to a wall or in a corner. Insert it into the front port without pushing it too far in to prevent it from falling inside.

How to adjust the spacing and orientation of the speakers?

First adjust the spacing to balance soundstage width and vocal precision. Then move the speakers away from the wall in 10 cm steps to find the right balance between depth and bass. Finally, gradually pivot them toward the center of the listening area.

What polarity should be respected for the connection?

It is essential to connect the speaker's + (red) terminal to the amplifier's + terminal, and the - (black) terminal to the - terminal. Reversing polarity would cause a blurred stereo image and loss of bass.

What break-in period is needed?

The drivers require a break-in period of 100 to 150 hours at moderate level to achieve optimal performance. You can speed up the process by playing a break-in CD or a radio station.

What type of cable should be used for connection?

Use quality cables with a gauge appropriate for the required cable length. Insufficient gauge can degrade sound quality.

What to do in case of malfunction?

Do not disassemble the speaker. Entrust any repairs to a qualified technician. The 2-year warranty covers manufacturing defects upon presentation of the original purchase receipt.

How to clean the HERITAGE XLS 15 speaker?

Remove dust with a soft, dry cloth. Do not apply any product directly to the speaker and do not use flammable cleaning liquids or harsh chemical products.

How to recycle the speaker at end of life?

Take the speaker to an appropriate local collection point for recycling. The product complies with the European RoHS directive, ensuring the absence of polluting substances during recycling.

WARNING

MAKE SURE TO READ THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL BEFORE TURNING THE POWER ON OR HOOKING UP THIS LOUDSPEAKER.

I. INTRODUCTION

YOU WILL FIND THE FOLLOWING ELEMENTS WITHIN THE PACKAGING :

1. Loudspeaker
2. Protective cover
3. 2 bases including one tilted (screws included)
4. Port plug (Foam damp)
5. Gloves
6. User Manual

II. BASE ASSEMBLING

You have the possibility of adapting two types of stands to your loudspeaker, one of which offers a 7^ tilt, preferable for the acoustic phase and respect of the sound image. Alternatively, you can leave the speaker as it is and place it on an optional dedicated stand that raises and tilts it slightly.

For example :

III. STEREO SETUP

The Heritage XLX15 loudspeakers have been designed to reproduce all types of music as accurately as possible, provided that a few rules should be followed to optimize performance and achieve a realistic sound image. Ideally, the speakers should be placed symmetrically in front of the listening position to form an equilateral triangle. The cabinets should be placed on the floor or on an optional dedicated stand, at the same distance from the rear wall and from the adjacent side surfaces.

In order to optimize the setup of the speakers in your listening room, we recommend the following tests:

Above all, you should avoid positioning the loudspeakers in the corners of your room. The result will be an artificial increase in the level of bass, masking the speed and details of this range. Otherwise feel free to use the port plug

When inserting the port plug into the loudspeaker, do not push it too far. Otherwise the port plug may fall into the speaker cabinet.

First, adjust the spacing of the two speakers in order to find the realistic balance between a wide sound image (wide apart speakers) and a sound image respecting the punctuality of the voices (close speakers).

Secondly, move the speakers away from the rear wall by steps of 10cm to find the balance between the depth of the sound image (far from the back wall) and the level of the extreme low frequencies (close to the back wall). Finally, adjust the loudspeakers orientation by turning them gradually toward the center of the listening area. If you leave the speakers parallel, you may want to bring them closer together, if you orient them more than 30^ , you may increase their spacing.

IV. CONNECTIONS

It is essential to connect the speakers using the correct polarity. Make sure to connect the “ + ” terminal of the speaker (Red) to the “ + ” output terminal of the amplifier. Then, make sure to connect the “- ” terminal of the speaker (Black) to the “ - ” output terminal of the amplifier. A wrong connection would cause a cribled stereo image and loss of bass. Use high quality speaker cable to perform.

V. BURN-IN PERIOD

When you take them out of the packaging, the Epilson loudspeakers are not yet able to reproduce with the same efficiency all the sound frequencies they are supposed to play. The loudspeakers are complex mechanical assemblies which need a period of adaptation ("burn-in") to operate at their best and become acclimatized to the temperature and humidity conditions of your environment.

This burn-in period may last for some weeks, but you can quicken it by operating the speakers between 100 and 150 hours consecutively, on a moderate volume with a specific burning-in CD, or by broadcasting a radio station.
