Dear music lover, You have just purchased one of the best domestic hi-fi loudspeakers available and we hope you will enjoy the music they reproduce for many years to come. Before connecting your loud- speakers and to achieve maximum performance and reliability you should study these instructions for use carefully. Safety instructions Avoid spilling liquids on speaker, connection terminal or speaker cable. Never place any item containing liquid such as a flower vase on or near the device. Never place any naked flame sources, such as lighted candles on or near the speakers. The product shall not be used in damp or wet locations, next to a bathtub, sink, swimming pool or any other similar conditions. Loudspeaker positioning Ideally both loudspeakers should be positioned at same level (tweeter in about ear level) and in same distance from the listener, at least 50 cm from a rear wall, 1 meter from a side wall and ideally forming an equilateral triangle – see page 3 of this manual. If loudspeakers are placed too close to each other or too far apart, stereo images will not be fully developed. 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 recordings and music before deciding upon final locations. Bookshelf speakers not only can be placed on bookshelves, whenever possible special speaker stands may give better results, also dedicated table stands can be used or placement on a wall. Special absorbers will help to prevent vibration transmission to surfaces. Pro-Ject Audio Systems offers Speaker stands (SB Stand 70), table stands (Speaker desktop stands), Wall brackets (Speaker Box wall bracket) and vibration absorbers (Damp it). http://www.box-designs.com/main.php?list=speakers&cat=speakers&lang=en©Pro-Ject Audio Systems

Amplifier capacity - power handling Your loudspeaker system will operate satisfactorily with any good amplifier designed for use with an 4-8 Ohm impedance load. Although loudspeakers are designed to handle high power loadings, you must remember that any loudspeaker that is abused with excessive use of volume, tone controls and graphic equalizers is likely to cause damage to the drive-units. Be careful especially with small amplifiers constantly driven on high power levels, as these may be liable to go into ,,clipping mode" and distort the signal causing possible damage. If you hear a distorted signal through the loudspeakers you must reduce the power level. Connecting to your amplifier We strongly recommend the use of high quality speaker cables, colour coded or grooved cables are recommended to assist checking polarity, your local dealer should be able to advise you on this point. Always switch OFF your amplifier before making any connections or adjustments to the system. Wire the right-hand channel cable so that the positive (RED) terminal of your loudspeaker is connected to the positive (RED) on your amplifier, and the negative (BLACK) terminal of your loudspeaker is connected to the negative (BLACK) terminal on your amplifier. Repeat the instructions for the left-hand channel. Do NOT connect more than one loudspeaker to one terminal on your amplifier. Please set the volume level to minimum before switching on the amplifier! Phasing Providing that you have followed the connecting instruction correctly the loudspeakers should be in phase and provide solid stereo images. If however, you have any doubt as to the phasing of the loudspeakers, try reversing the connections (RED & BLACK) to ONE of the loudspeakers, and play a recording which has plenty of deep bass operating both loudspeakers simultaneous- ly with the stereo amplifier switched to„mono". The correct polarity is indicated by firm full bass, when incorrect, the bass will be noticeably much weaker. Service No routine attention is required to the working parts of the loudspeakers and being very reliable loudspeakers rarely require service. Any service problems should in the first instance be referred to your dealer.6 ©Pro-Ject Audio Systems
