EN Dear Customer, Thank you for choosing an Elipson audio product. Please read carefully the following information before using your new loudspeakers. It contains tips to get the most of it and instructions for safety use. We strongly recommend that you keep the packaging and this user manual for further use.

I. CONTENT • 1 speaker : HORUS 11F, HORUS 8S, HORUS 10C • 2 speakers : HORUS 6B

• 1 user manual • 1 removable grid (all speakers) • 1 removable base + 4 screws : HORUS 11F • 4 rubber pads per speaker : HORUS 6B, HORUS 8S, HORUS 10C • 4 decoupling (thread M6) spikes per speaker :

1. Mounting the removable base on the cabinet (HORUS 11F) Carefully turn the cabinet over and place it on the packaging foams, or on a carpet, to avoid any damage on the top part. Take care not to damage the cabinet, and the drive units during this operation. Adjust the base on the cabinet and screw it using the four provided screws.

•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.

2. Sticking the rubber pads We recommend that you stick the rubber pads, provided with the removable base, on the loudspeakers. If you use the loudspeakers without the removable base, you should place the rubber pads on the provided inserts, to avoid any damage. As a rule, you can stick the rubber pads under the loudspeakers or under its base in order to protect the loudspeaker itself and its base.

3. Putting spikes (HORUS 11F) After mounting the base of the speaker, screw the spikes on it (no required tools). Note: The presence of pads or decoupling spikes prevents vibrations to be transmitted to the floor.

•FR III. STEREO SETUP 1. Position of the speakers FL/FR The Horus 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 at the same height and the same distance from the rear wall and 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. •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 10 cm 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). 16

ALL THE CONNECTIONS MUST BE MADE WITH THE EQUIPMENT TURNED OFF.

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.

•SR IV. HOME-CINEMA SETUP 5.1 1. Position of the speakers FL/FR Before continuing the operation, please configure your installation by following the instructions on the previous pages 2. Position of the center speaker C (HORUS 10C) The center speaker must be positioned near the screen for realistic reproduction of dialogue. Ideally, it is placed under the TV set if the TV stand enables it. If a standard projection screen is used, the center speaker should be placed at the bottom of the screen for best results. If a microperforated screen is used, it can be positioned behind the screen. 3. Position of the subwoofer SW (HORUS 8S) The subwoofer should be placed between the two front speakers, either on the left or right of the center speaker, and away from the wall.

6. Connections on Home-Cinema amplifier and Home-cinema preamplifier

1. Burn-in period When you take them out of the packaging, the Horus speakers are not yet able to reproduce with the same efficiency all the sound frequencies they are supposed to play.The Horus range loudspeakers are complex mechanical assemblies which need a period of adaptation (“burn-in”) to operate at their best and become acclimatised 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 50 and 100 hours consecutively, on a moderate volume and broadcasting a radio station. 2. Choice of cables Choose high quality cables with a cross-section appropriate to their length. Your Elipson dealer will be able to advise you.

3. Choice of amplifier Your setup type (stereo or home-cinema) will determine the choice of the appropriate amplifier. Your dealer will be able to advise you on the most suitable amplifier for your system. •SR 6B

4. Cleaning instructions To improve the lifetime of your speakers, we recommend regular cleaning. A soft cloth will be enough for dusting. If the speaker is stained, we recommend simply using a damp cloth with some mild soap if necessary. Never use solvents, detergents, alcohol-based or corrosive products, scrapers or scourers to avoid any damage on the speaker surface. Keep the loudspeakers away from sources of heat.
