II. PREPARATION

1a. Mounting the removable base on the cabinet (PF8B, PF14F, PF24F, PF34F, PF14C)

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 woodworking, the lacquered front or the loudspeakers during this operation. Adjust the base on the cabinet and screw it using the four provided screws.

1b. Mounting the removable base on the subwoofer cabinet (PFSUB8, PFSUB10)

Start by positioning the aluminium cylinders in the recesses provided for this purpose. Place the base on the cylinders and secure with the provided screws.

2b

2a. Sticking the rubber pads (PF8B, PF14C, PFSUB8, PFSUB10)

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.

2b. Putting spikes (PF14F, PF24F, PF34F)

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.

3a. Mounting the wall speakers (PF7SR, PF14LCR)

Make sure the brackets have been securely fastened flat against the wall (pay attention to hollow wall anchors) and that the wall is able to bear the weight of the loudspeakers.

3b. Positioning the PF14LCR speaker with a permanent screen or TV screen

Place the speakers as close as possible to the screen. The mounting brackets allow you to install the speaker horizontally or vertically.

3c. Positioning the PF14LCR speaker behind a projection screen

If you have an acoustically transparent screen, we recommend to install the loudspeakers a third of the way down from the top of the screen. Use the middle of the speaker as a reference point (middle of the tweeter). For this configuration, we recommend removing the grills from the speakers.

III. STEREO SETUP

1. Position of the speakers FL/FR

The Prestige Facet 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 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.

2. Connections

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. Elipson speakers are supplied configured for use in a single wired mode or bi-wiring. Bi-amp is also possible (see page 31).

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 (PF11C, PF14C)

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 (PFSUB8, PFSUB10)

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.

4. Position of Surround speaker SL/SR (PF7SR, PF14LCR)

The dipole surround speakers are placed independently on the side walls. They must be positioned at a height of 60~cm above the point of listening. Please, respect the position of PF7SR speakers, using the indications written at their back.

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

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. Elipson speakers are supplied configured for use in a single wired mode or bi-wiring. Bi-amp is also possible (see page 31).

V. INSTALLATION SETUP 7.1

1. Position of setup 5.1

Before continuing the operation, please configure your installation by following the instructions on the previous pages

2. Position of the back surround speakers SBL/SBR (PF6B/PF8B or PF7SR/PF14LCR)

Surround back speakers should ideally be placed behind the listening position. Please, respect the position of PF7SR speakers, using the indications written at their back. If the room layout does not allow a backward placement of the back surround speakers, you can use the PF6B or PF8B bookshelve speakers (see diagram - solution 2) in order to finish properly the 7.1 configuration.

Note : When placing the surround Back speakers, you can place the PF6B or PF8B bookshelve speakers on the back of the listening position. It is however better to place them in height, ideally on stand.

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

VI. EXTENSION INSTALLATION HOME - 7.1.2

1. Position of the Atmos speakers FHL/FHR (PF6ATM)

The Prestige Facet Atmos speakers are placed on top of the floor or bookshelf speakers.

DOLBY ATMOS® is a new technology meant to reproduce surround sound for cinema and home cinema. This DOLBY ATMOS® process creates vertical sound channels in addition to the Dolby 5.1 or 7.1 format (horizontal plane) and thus offers a totally immersive audio experience. In order to have access to this technology and experience the emotion of DOLBY ATMOS®, you have to equip yourself, in addition to your 5.1 or 7.1 system, with dedicated loudspeakers in order to emit sound vertically. There are speakers that are positioned directly in the ceiling, but these require a considerable amount of time and effort to install. There are also specific speakers that direct the sound to the ceiling from the floor. It is this second solution, certified DOLBY ATMOS®, that Epilson has adopted, simplifying the installation process. These loudspeakers, whose drivers are specifically filtered and tilted, emit a sound field towards the ceiling which must imperatively be reflective. The sound waves are thus reflected off of the ceiling to allow the listener to benefit from this vertical sound dimension. The rendering is ultra realistic, for a completely immersive experience in the heart of your movie. You can buy one or two pairs of ATM speakers, placed at the front (1st pair) and also at the back (2nd pair) of your dedicated home cinema room, directly on your main speakers or surround speakers. You can also opt for the IXATM floorstanding loudspeaker with a built-in DOLBY ATMOS® module. In order to fully enjoy the DOLBY ATMOS® sound, your amplifier must be compatible with this technology, and have enough channels and the associated digital processing technology.

Caution : A Dolby Atmos compliant amplifier is essential to the proper use of the speakers. Contact your dealer for more informations.

VII. USE

1. Burn-in period

When you take them out of the packaging, the Prestige Facet speakers are not yet able to reproduce with the same efficiency all the sound frequencies they are supposed to play. The Prestige Facet 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 20 and 50 hours consecutively, on a moderate volume and broadcasting a radio station.

2. Bi-wiring and bi-ampification (All models, except PF6ATM and PF7SR)

Bi-wiring can increase the performance of your loudspeakers. Only one amplifier is necessary, but two distinct cables are used to, individually, powered the treble drivers and the bass drivers on the speaker. Good quality cables are required for an efficient bi-wiring. The Prestige Facet speaker have a 4 terminals binding post, allowing bi-wiring and bi-amplification.

Top terminals for treble, bottom terminals for bass. For a mono-amplification use, connect the terminals with the metallic straps and connect the cables on 2 terminals.

For a bi-amp, two amplifiers are used separately for treble and bass

Note: The PF7SR and PF6ATM models have a single binding terminal.

3. Choice of cables

Choose high quality cables with a cross-section appropriate to their length. You can also replace the provided metallic straps by a strap using the same speaker cable you use to connect your loudspeakers to your amplifier. Your Elipson dealer will be able to advise you.

4. 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.

5. 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. The lacquered front panel can be cleaned with a soft cloth and standard glass cleaning product.

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.
