Direkt Dreiklang - Speaker HECO - Free user manual and instructions

USER MANUAL Direkt Dreiklang HECO

The feet for the DIREKT DREIKLANG are provided in a separate package and have to be tted after being unpacked. A matching hex or Allen key is enclosed. For tting, the loudpeaker should be placed on its top on a scratch free surface (carpet etc.). The feet are then secured one after the other with two screws each as shown in Fig. 2a and 2b. The loudspeaker is then turned around and set up, ideally by two people. The feet are delivered with soft silicone feet. These feet are ideal for separating the loudspeakers from vibration-prone oors (e.g. timber oors in old buildings). For hard oors (e.g. stone, concrete), the spikes provided should be used. The spikes are height-adjustable and possess a counter nut. Any irregularities in the oor may be offset and a rm stand may be achieved with the spikes. They also decouple the loudspeakers from the base so that any undesirable resonance is avoided. The spikes must be screwed into the threaded sleeves at the bottom of the box when the silicone feet have been removed. In order to prevent the oor from being damaged, you should get help from someone to tilt the box slightly when tting the spikes. First, screw in two spikes next to each other and – before setting the box down – put the corresponding washers (rubber facing down) in place. Then attach the opposite spikes and lower accordingly. Then align the speaker vertically and lock the spikes in place.

6CONNECTING YOUR HECO DIREKT DREIKLANG LOUDSPEAKERS

Warning: Only hi- amplier loudspeaker outputs may be connected to the loudspeaker terminal.

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 2.5 mm² for lengths up to 3 m and at least 4 mm² for lengths above 3 m. Always turn off the amplier 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. 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 amplier, the red positive (+) speaker terminals to the positive (+) amplier terminals. To make this easier one wire of most speaker cables is marked with a coloured strip or a ridge in the insulation. Strip 10 – 15 mm of insulation from the ends of non-ready-made cables. Twist the ends – this is much better than tinning them with solder – insert them in the terminals and tighten the terminal screws rmly (Fig. 3). 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 laments – this could cause serious damage to your amplier! MAINTENANCE The lacquered surface is best cleaned with a mild household cleaner. On no account use furniture polish or similar products on these surfaces. 7HOW 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” amplier 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 amplier is signicantly 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 ampliers with low output ratings can actually be more dangerous for your speakers at medium volumes because weak ampliers 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 amplier can deliver at least as much power as the speakers’ power- handling rating. THE SOUND YOU CAN’T HEAR... Ampliers, 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 qualied technician check your system components for dangerous inaudible signals.
