USER MANUAL Concept Centre Q ACOUSTICS

User Manual and Product Specifcations Concept CentreIntroduction The Q Acoustics Concept Centre is designed to meet the highest expectations of discerning movie enthusiasts. Before making any connections to your loudspeakers make sure that all active units in your system are switched o at the mains. When switching on your sound system or changing input sources, set the main volume control at a low level. Turn up the level gradually. NEVER play your sound system at full volume. The position of the volume control is deceptive and does not indicate the power level of the system. Using very high volume settings may damage your hearing. DO NOT connect your loudspeaker terminals to the mains supply. DO NOT expose your loudspeakers to excessive cold, heat, humidity or sunlight. If you play your loudspeakers without their grilles on, be careful to protect the drive units from damage. DO NOT use makeshift stands and brackets. Fit to the Q-Acoustics dedicated wall support according to the instructions and using any xings provided. Your dealer will advise you. DO NOT dismantle the loudspeaker. You will invalidate the warranty. Unpacking Unpack the speakers fully. Lift the speakers from the cartons by holding the cabinets. Do not use the protective bags to lift them. When manoeuvring loudspeakers, do not drag them as this may cause damage - lift them before moving them. Check the product carefully. If any items are damaged or missing, report this to your dealer as soon as possible. Retain the packaging for future transport. If you dispose of the packaging, please do so following all recycling regulations in your area. Installing Concept Centre speakers are rear ported and designed to work best with some space behind them i.e. 200mm or so away from a wall. If you position your speakers close to a wall/corner then the foam bungs should be inserted into the rear ports or there could be too much bass. Ensure bungs are tted snugly into the port without inserting them too far. You will nd the level of bass is reduced but denition and extension is increased.Connecting Specialist loudspeaker cables will oer a higher standard of reproduction than general purpose ‘bell’ or ‘zip’ wire. Use cable with generous amounts of copper. Thin cables reduce the bass and restrict the dynamic range. Speaker cable has a stripe or tracer along one core. By convention this is connected to the positive terminals. The cables connecting the amplier to the front loudspeakers should ideally be the same length. Never join cables - use complete lengths. Preparing Cables Split the cable to a depth of about 40mm. Bare the wire to a depth of 10mm and twist the ends to gather any stray wires. Crop the cable leaving 7mm of bare wire exposed. Connecting a Terminal Unscrew the terminal anticlockwise to expose the mounting hole in the base of the terminal column. Insert the bare end of the cable into the hole. Re- tighten the terminal fully hand tight. Make sure there are no stray wires which could touch adjacent terminals. In the EU it is against safety regulations to use 4mm loudspeaker plugs. Cleaning Clean cabinets with a barely damp cloth. Do not use solvent based cleaning materials. If the cabinets become stained, remove the stain with a cloth lightly moistened with water, white spirit or isopropyl alcohol depending on the stain. Then lightly bu with a cloth to remove any residue of the cleaning agent. Never use abrasives of any kind. Grilles Lightly brush out grilles with a soft brush. Do not remove the speaker grilles unless absolutely necessary. Drive Units Drive units are best left untouched as they are easily damaged when exposed.
