2 SAFETY INFORMATION

• This instruction manual must be read carefully and kept in an accessible location for any needs that may arise.
• Adjust the support feet in such a way as to obtain the best possible stability.
• Avoid placing heavy objects upon the loudspeaker, as these can compromise its stability.
• If the loudspeakers are to be positioned upon a raised support surface (e.g. mezzanines, wooden boosters, etc.) or on wall, check beforehand to make sure that the surface is capable of bearing their weight. Also make sure that there is sufficient friction to prevent the loudspeakers from moving due to the vibrations generated under normal operating conditions.
• Do not place any objects containing flammable liquids, substances, or liquefiable substances upon the loudspeaker.
• Use one of the connection diagrams contained in this instruction manual. The connection of two or more loudspeakers in parallel can damage your amplifier. If in doubt, contact your dealer.
• Avoid staying in close proximity to the loudspeakers while the audio system is operating at high volume. This can cause permanent damage to your hearing! Children must be kept at a safety distance of least 50 cm from the loudspeaker.
• The speakers generate an electromagnetic field that is harmless to humans and pets, but can compromise the proper functionality of electronic equipment, such as CRT monitors or TVs, when placed in close proximity. If this occurs, increase the equipment's distance from the loudspeakers. Do not place credit cards or other similar magnetic stripe cards on the loudspeaker.
• The technology underlying the speakers' functionality is based on the principles of electromagnetism, and the user should therefore avoid operating equipment that generates strong electromagnetic fields, as these could affect the loudspeaker's proper functionality. Avoid placing transmitting devices such as mobile phones, cordless phones, intercom systems, etc., upon the loudspeakers' cabinet.
• Do not connect the loudspeakers directly to a constant voltage sound distribution system (100 V, 70.7 V or similar). This could result in a serious system overload, with possible damage to the loudspeaker system and/or the amplifier unit.
• Do not place audio cables and electrical power cables in close proximity to one another. An electromagnetic field is present in the vicinity of the power cables, which can cause an unpleasant humming noise. In this case, increase the distance between the audio cables and the power cables.

3.2 ASSEMBLY

Follow the indications below, based on the model in your possession. Refer to the images contained in chapter 7.

3.2.1 SONETTO VIII, V, III

These floor loudspeakers require a support base. Assemble the loudspeaker according to the instructions below. Refer to Fig. 2.

1. Turn the loudspeaker upside down, with its upper protection shell included.
2. Screw the base screws to the body of the loudspeaker.
3. Screw the spikes.

3.2.2 SONETTO I, II

These bookshelf speakers are suitable for assembly on support (advised).

Assemble the supports and the speakers on supports as described below. Refer to Fig. 3.

1. Screw the screws of the upper base of the support
2. Screw the screws of the lower base of the support
3. Screw the conic points to the lower base of the support
4. Position the loudspeaker on the upper base of the support. The holes of the upper base must match those of the loudspeaker
5. Manually tighten the screws of the loudspeaker to the base.

3.2.3 SONETTO CENTER I, CENTER II

Rest the base of the loudspeaker on the support, according to Fig. 4. The base ensures stability for the speaker and allows for its proper positioning.

3.2.4 SONETTO WALL

This speaker is intended to be assembled on a wall. Perform the fixing operations as follows.

Refer to Fig. 5.

1. Fix the two support screws to the wall. Use one of the brackets included as template for drilling the wall. Leave about 4mm of the screws protruding from the washer.
2. Assemble the first bracket to the loudspeaker, using the four screws included
3. Assemble the second bracket to the first using the two screws and the bolts. Do not tighten the screws all the way.
4. Insert the wall-mounted screws in their corresponding holes in the bracket.
5. Position the loudspeaker as necessary.
6. Completely tighten the screws of the second bracket to the bracket already mounted on the loudspeaker.

3.3 THE LOUDSPEAKER IN THE LISTENING ENVIRONMENT

Sonetto loudspeakers were designed to be easy to be piloted in terms of sound amplification and easy to add to any room.

Models I and II are suitable for small rooms. For larger spaces, use models VIII, V and III.

To install a multi-channel or Home Theater system, it is possible to combine loudspeakers Center I, Center II and Wall.

3.3.1 LOUDSPEAKER POSITIONING

The choice of the listening environment and the loudspeakers' positioning can affect the entire audio system's performance. Rooms with irregular shapes are preferable, as these types of rooms can improve the frequency response within the listening environment, as they limit the formation of standing waves.

Within reason, the presence of rugs and curtains can have a positive effect upon the acoustic response, as they help to absorb the reflections and standing waves generated within the listening environment.

There are no fixed and universally-applicable rules for every environment. Nevertheless, one good approach to positioning the loudspeakers within the listening environment is to start by dividing the listening environment's floor plan into three equal areas, as indicated by the dotted lines in Fig. 6.

Position the loudspeakers on the first line (A), at a good distance from the lateral walls, and position the listening point on the second line (B).

In this manner, a good amount of air will be present all around the subjects involved in the stereo reproduction, thus allowing the loudspeakers to work freely, while at the same time shielding the listener from the acoustic reflections generated near the walls and in the corners of the room itself.

Fig. 6 shows how the loudspeakers' axis should converge toward the listening position by crossing over top of it, thus creating the classic "equilateral triangle" configuration. This measure, which consists of orienting the loudspeakers in such a way as to literally point them towards the listener's ears, provides for a significant improvement in the focus of the stereophonic image.

Given that the illustrated procedure, which is aimed at creating quasi-ideal listening conditions, cannot be applied by all of our customers due to objective problems linked to the organization of the living environment, it is recommended to position the two loudspeakers away from the corners

of the room, and at a distance of at least 100~cm from the end walls. The two loudspeakers should be at least 1.8 metres apart from each other.

The listening point should be at a height of approximately 1.1 metres off the ground.

The distance between the loudspeakers themselves, and between the loudspeakers and the listening point, can be subsequently adjusted as desired.

3.3.2 HOME THEATRES AND MULTICHANNEL SYSTEMS

In addition to use with traditional stereos, the loudspeakers of the Sonetto collection can also be used with "home theatres" and "multi-channel" systems. Taking into account the rules for the front loudspeakers, loudspeakers destined to the reproduction of posterior channels should be positioned as indicated in Fig. 6, and the central loudspeaker exactly in line with the vertical axis that passes through the centre of the video screen (above or below the screen), while a subwoofer can be positioned anywhere in the room, as long as it is not near the corners.

Please refer to the documents regarding the amplifying system

3.4 CONNECTIONS

Refer to the images contained in chapter 7.

After the loudspeakers have been positioned, their connections must be completed.

The terminals allow for connections using cables with spade terminals, stripped cable, or banana plugs.

The loudspeakers' terminals (except for the Wall model) are equipped with jumpers, which allow the loudspeakers to be connected as follows. It may be necessary to remove the jumpers based on the selected connection type.

The Wall model contains a single pair of terminals. Please refer to Fig. 10.

The proper tightening and periodic inspection of the terminals can help to improve performance.

The connections must be made with the equipment turned off!

3.4.1 STANDARD CONNECTION

Use a single stereo amplifier or two mono amplifiers and a pair of power cables. Complete the connections as indicated in Fig. 7.

3.4.2 BI-WIRING

Use a single stereo amplifier or two mono amplifiers and two pairs of power cables.

Remove the jumpers between the terminals and make the connections as indicated in Fig 8.

3.4.3 BI-AMPING

Use two stereo amplifiers or four mono amplifiers (of the same brand and model, if possible) and two pairs of power cables.

Remove the jumpers between the terminals and make the connections as indicated in Fig. 9.

4 MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

Aside from periodic cleaning, the loudspeakers of the Sonetto collection do not require any particular maintenance operations. In order to preserve the loudspeakers' finish, cover them with the supplied fabric protector, especially if the loudspeakers are not expected to be used for an extended period of time.

Risk of damage to the loudspeaker's cabinet!

Do not use cleaning products, furniture wax, liquid detergents, or alcohol. Do not use rough cloths.

Do not use products like waxes or detergents to clean the wood parts, as these could stain or damage the wood or the loudspeakers themselves. Use a soft cloth (e.g. microfibre), perhaps slightly damp.

Wood is a natural living material that can be affected by the environmental conditions. We recommend keeping the loudspeakers away from heat sources or windows, above all during the summer months. Avoid exposing the loudspeakers to direct sunlight.

Use a soft brush to eliminate any dust that may have accumulated on the cabinet, the front panels, and the loudspeakers themselves, taking care not to damage the loudspeakers' delicate membranes.

These measures will help to keep the loudspeakers' working perfectly for years to come. Time will help improve the sound by breaking in the speakers' moving parts (membranes and suspensions), and the acoustic chamber will become accustomed to music being played the more it is used - much like what happens with acoustic string instruments!
