Frequently Asked Questions - Music Style 1000 HECO

How to connect the Heco Music Style 1000 speakers?

Use good quality speaker cables (≥ 2.5 mm² for lengths < 3 m, ≥ 4 mm² for > 3 m). Strip 10 to 15 mm, twist the ends and tighten the screws. Ensure correct phase: black terminal (-) from speaker to black terminal (-) of amplifier, red terminal (+) to red terminal (+). Always turn off the amplifier before connecting or disconnecting.

What is the best position for stereo speakers?

Place the speakers and your listening position in an equilateral triangle, with the speakers equidistant from you. Keep them away from walls: at least 20 cm from the rear wall and 30 cm from side walls for floorstanders. The tweeters should be at ear height.

How to use bi-wiring or bi-amping?

Remove the metal short-circuit plates between the terminals. For bi-wiring, connect the amplifier to the upper terminals (tweeter) and lower terminals (woofer) with two separate cables. For bi-amping, use two separate amplifiers, one for each pair of terminals. Standard connection uses the plates for a single cable.

What amplifier power is recommended for the Music Style 1000?

The recommended amplifier output power is 30 to 280 W. A too weak amplifier can cause distortion at moderate volume, which is dangerous for the speakers. If you listen loudly, choose an amplifier of at least 280 W.

How to avoid damaging the speakers?

Do not push the tone controls (bass/treble) to maximum as this can destroy the speakers. Lower the volume as soon as you hear distortion. Ensure the amplifier is not overloaded. Check for inaudible signals (very high frequencies) that can damage the tweeters.

How to maintain the Heco Music Style 1000 speakers?

Clean the surfaces with a mild household cleaner. Do not use furniture polish or abrasive products. Use a soft, slightly damp cloth.

What is the warranty on Heco speakers?

Heco offers a 5-year warranty for the first owner, covering material and manufacturing defects. For a claim, contact your dealer. Include the completed warranty card and proof of purchase. Damage due to misuse is not covered.

What to do if a speaker stops working or produces abnormal sound?

First check all connections and phase. If the problem persists, test with another source or amplifier. If the tweeters are out of order at low volume, a technician should check for inaudible signals. Do not attempt repair yourself; contact after-sales service.

Can I use decoupling spikes?

Yes, metal spikes and rubber spikes are supplied. Screw the metal spikes into the sockets under the speaker to isolate from the floor and avoid resonances. For hard floors, use the rubber spikes to avoid damage.

How to recycle the speakers at end of life?

Dispose of the device at an appropriate recycling point. Do not throw it with household waste. Follow local electronic waste regulations.

Gummispikes Gummispikes

Congratulations on your fine new loudspeakers and thank you very much for choosing HECO! You have made an excellent choice. The high-quality speakers produced by HECO are renowned all over the world.

Please study the instructions and information below carefully before using your new loudspeakers.

GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT CONNECTING YOUR HECO MUSIC STYLE LOUDSPEAKERS

Please always use a good quality loudspeaker connection cable from an audio dealer. To prevent impairment of sound quality, we recommend cables with cross-sections of at least 2.5mm^2 for lengths up to 3m and at least 4mm^2 for lengths above 3m .

Always turn off the amplifier or receiver before connecting or disconnecting loudspeaker cables. Place the loudspeakers in their planned positions and cut the cables to the right length. The cables for both channels should always be exactly the same length.

Strip 10 - 15mm of insulation from the ends of the cables. Twist the ends – this is much better than tinning them with solder – insert them in the terminals and tighten the terminal screws firmly. (Fig. 1)

For good sound it is imperative that the cables must be connected in such a way that the speakers are "in phase". This means that the black negative terminals on the speakers (-) must be connected to the negative (-) terminals on the amplifier, the red positive (+) speaker terminals to the positive (+) amplifier terminals. To make this easier one wire of most speaker cables is marked with a coloured strip or a ridge in the insulation.

Before switching on the system double-check all your connections and make sure that the terminal screws are tight and that there are no short circuits caused by stray wire filaments – this could cause serious damage to your amplifier!

THE HECO MUSIC STYLE LOUDSPEAKERS IN STEREO MODE

In the ideal configuration the speakers and the listening position should form an equilateral triangle. When the left and right speakers are the same distance from the listening position their sound arrives at the same time, resulting in a harmonious, natural music reproduction. (Fig. 2)

There should be a clear line of sight between the loudspeakers and the listening position. Any sound-absorbing or reflecting obstacles in the path will distort the sound. When you install the loudspeakers the following distances should be maintained:

Floorstanders: at least 20~cm away from the rear wall and at least 30~cm from the side walls. This will prevent excessive emphasis of the bass range.

Bookshelf speakers: shelf loudspeakers should also be as free-standing as possible, the distance to the sides and rear to walls and items should be at least 10cm , the tweeters should be located at ear height.

Spikes (floorstanders): you should use the supplied spikes when setting the speakers up. This isolates them from the supporting surface, preventing unpleasant resonance effects. You can choose between metal and hard rubber spikes for the standing speakers. The spikes are screwed into the threaded bushes on the bottom of the speaker.

HECO MUSIC STYLE LOUDSPEAKERS AS A FRONT OR REAR LOUDSPEAKER

The front loudspeakers are positioned at ear height on the left and right as equidistant from the television as possible. The rear loudspeakers are placed at ear height or a little above on the left and right besides or better behind the listening position. (Fig. 3)

HECO MUSIC STYLE 800, 500 - BI-WIRING AND BI-AMPING

Bi-wiring means using separate cables to carry the high and low audio frequencies. Bi-amping takes this idea one step further and uses separate power amplifiers as well as separate cables for high and low frequencies. Bi-amping in particular produces an additional improvement in sound reproduction quality.

The special connection terminals of the MUSIC STYLE loudspeakers support both conventional connection and operation in bi-wiring and bi-amping modes. There are four screw terminals on each speaker. The top pair are for the tweeter (high frequencies), the lower pair for the woofer (low frequencies). The factory-installed metal strips connecting the positive and negative terminals are for conventional 2-wire connection and must be removed for bi-wiring and bi-amping operation. The pictures below show the correct set-up for conventional operation (Fig. 4a), bi-wiring (Fig. 4b) and bi-amping (Fig. 4c).

HECO MUSIC STYLE CENTER 2

The MUSIC STYLE CENTER 2 loudspeaker visually and acoustically ideally matches the other MUSIC STYLE models. The loudspeaker is placed immediately underneath the television set. Otherwise please adhere to the general recommendations outlined in the previous chapters.

HECO MUSIC STYLE SUB 25A

The MUSIC STYLE SUB 25A active subwoofer visually and acoustically ideally matches the other loudspeakers in the MUSIC STYLE series. Please refer to the separate operating instructions supplied with this product.

CONNECTING TO AN AV RECEIVER

HOW TO AVOID DAMAGE TO YOUR VALUABLE SPEAKERS

All HECO loudspeakers are designed and built for optimum sound reproduction with the tone controls in the central position - i.e. with "linear" amplifier output. Turning up the bass and treble controls too far delivers more power to the woofers and/or tweeters, and at high volumes this can actually destroy the speaker units!

If the output of your amplifier is significantly higher than the rated power handling capacity of your speakers extremely high volumes can physically destroy your speakers. This doesn't actually happen often but you should be aware that it is possible.

Weak amplifiers with low output ratings can actually be more dangerous for your speakers at medium volumes because weak amplifiers may overload much faster than powerful ones and this causes measurable and audible distortion, which is extremely dangerous to your loudspeakers.

Always turn the volume down immediately as soon as you hear distortion! If you like listening to loud music make sure that your amplifier can deliver at least as much power as the speakers' power-handling rating.

Amplifiers, tuners and CD players can all produce inaudible high-frequency signals – and this doesn't only apply to cheap products. If your tweeters fail at low or medium volumes you should have a qualified technician check your system components for dangerous inaudible signals.

MAINTENANCE

The surface is best cleaned with a mild household cleaner. On no account use furniture polish or similar products.
