A - Sib Evo in a Stereo Setup

In order to balance response, place the Sib Evo loudspeakers the same distance away from the listening point. A minimum height of 30" (75cm) is recommended in order to obtain a coherent soundstage (fig. A1).

You can adjust the angle of inclination of the loudspeakers according to your listening point.

To adjust the angle of inclination, simply loosen the screw under the base and adjust as required. Once you have the desired angle, tighten the screw to secure the loudspeaker to its base. (fig. A3).

B - Sib Evo in a 5.1 Home Cinema Setup

1- Centre loudspeaker:

To use the Sib Evo satellite loudspeaker as a centre loudspeaker, unscrew the rubber base from the loudspeaker, stick the slip-resistant sticker in place (as shown in fig. B1) and position the loudspeaker horizontally central to the base (fig. B2). The centre loudspeaker must be positioned the same distance away from the front left and right loudspeakers. Turn the logo clockwise until it appears upright (figs. B2 and B3).

2- Adjusting the angle of inclination:

Sib Evo is supplied with the base pre-mounted.

However, you can adjust the angle of inclination of the loudspeaker according to your listening point. To adjust the angle of inclination, simply loosen the screw under the base and adjust as required as shown above. Once you have the desired angle, tighten the screw to secure the loudspeaker to its base (fig. A3).

C - Sib Evo in a 5.1.2 Dolby Atmos® Home Cinema Setup

The 5.1.2 pack features two Sib Evo Dolby Atmos ^® satellite loudspeakers certified by Dolby. These satellite loudspeakers are equipped with two speaker drivers, one of which is fired towards the ceiling to provide Dolby Atmos ^® effects. Dolby Atmos ^® technology offers true 3D sound by including a vertical dimension, that's to say the propagation of sound waves emitted from a new source: the ceiling. This new dimension provides even more precision and realism for a multichannel experience worthy of cinemas (figs. C1 et C2).

1- Centre loudspeaker:

To use the Sib Evo satellite loudspeaker as a centre loudspeaker, unscrew the rubber base from the loudspeaker, stick the slip-resistant sticker in place (as shown in fig. B1) and position the loudspeaker horizontally central to the base (fig. B2). The centre loudspeaker must be positioned the same distance away from the front left and right loudspeakers. Turn the logo clockwise until it appears upright (figs. B2 and B3).

2- Adjusting the angle of inclination:

All the loudspeakers in the Sib Evo packs are supplied with their bases pre-mounted.

The Sib Evo Dolby Atmos® loudspeaker is already mounted to its base according to Dolby Atmos® recommendations.

However, you can adjust the angle of inclination of the loudspeaker according to your listening point.

- For a listening point less than 6.5 feet away (2m): tilt the loudspeakers back.

- For a listening point more than 8 feet away (2.5m): tilt the loudspeakers forward.

To adjust the angle of inclination, simply loosen the screw under the base and adjust as required as shown above. Once you have the desired angle, tighten the screw to secure the loudspeaker to its base (fig. A3).

CAUTION: with a Dolby Atmos® installation, it is advised not to have any obstacles (shelves, lights, etc.) less than 3 feet (1m) above the Sib Evo Dolby Atmos® loudspeaker that could impede the reflection of Dolby Atmos® sound off the ceiling.

D - Wall-Mounting

1- Remove the base from the loudspeaker by unscrewing the screw underneath the base.
Caution: keep the screw to one side as it will be used again in step 3 (fig. D1).
2- Route the cable through the intended opening on the wall-mount and fix to the wall using the 3 screws supplied (fig. D2).
3- Position the loudspeakers on the wall-mount and secure in place using the screw put to the side in step 1 (figs. D2, D3).
4- Connect the cables (see E - Connections).
5- Incline the loudspeaker according to your installation and secure in place by tightening the screw underneath the ball joint using the Allen key supplied (fig. D5).

E - Connections

Connect your Sib loudspeakers to the amplifier using a hi-fi quality cable with a cross-section area of between 0.75mm^2 and 2mm^2 and with the polarity marked on one of the conductors.

Respect the polarity making sure to connect the "+" terminal on the amplifier to the "+" terminal on the corresponding loudspeaker.

Repeat the operation for the "-" terminals (fig. E1).

For the Sib Evo Dolby Atmos ^® satellite speakers, respect the conductors indicated on the back of the satellites, the forward firing speaker driver corresponds to the bottom connectors, and the Dolby Atmos ^® upward-firing speaker driver corresponds to the top connectors (figs. E2, E3).

F - Audio/video amplifier settings:

We highly recommend configuring your Sib loudspeakers in "SMALL" mode in your audio/video amplifier menu.

Recommendations:

- If your amplifier is equipped with an auto-calibration function, make sure that your amplifier has the latest firmware.

- If you configure the amplifier manually, we highly recommend:

- setting the cut-off frequency to 80Hz.

- doubling the distance of the Atmos® loudspeakers compared to the front speaker drivers.

- increasing the level until you obtain the desired result.

G - Subwoofer

For reproducing low frequencies, we recommend Cub Evo subwoofer.

H - Break-in period

The speaker drivers used in Sib Evo loudspeakers are complex mechanical components which require a break-in period in order to operate at their best and to become acclimatised to the temperature and humidity of your environment. The length of time this takes can vary depending on the conditions and may extend over several weeks.

To reduce this break-in period, we recommend operating your subwoofer for about 20 consecutive hours at medium volume, with music which is rich in bass. Once the loudspeaker's characteristics have totally stabilised, you will be able to enjoy the full potential of your loudspeakers.

I - Maintenance

Only clean Sib Evo loudspeakers with a dry microfibre cloth. If a loudspeaker is dirty, we recommend simply cleaning it with a damp microfibre cloth.

Never use solvents, detergents, alcohol-based or corrosive products, scrapers or scourers to clean the surface of the loudspeaker. Only wipe delicately and never press down hard.
