INFORMATION

UNPACKING

This loudspeaker has been carefully tested and inspected during production, and prior to its packing and shipment. After unpacking, check for potential damage. A device is rarely damaged during transport, but if this happens, contact your dealer immediately.

We advise you to keep the box and packaging materials for future shipping.

SPEAKER SETUP

The proper placement of a loudspeaker has a significant impact on sound quality. There are multiple theories, but the environments and tastes are all different, so it is impossible to indicate just one right location. We advise you to test various places to evaluate what suits you best.

In order to obtain the best bass response, we advise you to keep a minimum distance of 25-30 cm between the speakers and the walls (rear and side). For height, place the speakers with the tweeter at ear level while in your most common listening position.

PACKAGING AND BURN-IN PERIOD

Just unpacked, the TANGENT SPECTRUM speakers are not yet capable of reproducing with the same efficiency all the sound frequencies they are supposed to play. The driver units used in the SPECTRUM range are complex mechanical elements that require a period of adaptation to operate at their best and become acclimatised to the temperature and humidity conditions of your environment. This burn-in period may take up to several weeks, but you can speed it up by operating your speakers between 20 and 50 consecutive hours at a moderate level and broadcasting a radio station.

CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS

We do not recommend the use of solvents or cleaning products on the cabinets or drivers. Simply wipe with a dry, soft cloth.

In order to enjoy an optimal experience, it is recommended to acquire the compliant SPECTRUM X6 model with the SPECTRUM XATM.

It is thus sufficient to place the SPECTRUM XATM top speaker on the SPECTRUM X6 floorstanding speaker, once the latter has been positioned. The rubber mat under the top speaker allows it to adhere to the floorstanding speakers, without glue or screws.

DOLBY ATMOS ^® is a new technology meant to reproduce surround sound for cinema and home cinema. This DOLBY ATMOS ^® process creates vertical sound channels in addition to the Dolby 5.1 or 7.1 format (horizontal plane) and thus offers a totally immersive audio experience.

In order to have access to this technology and experience the emotion of DOLBY ATMOS ^® , you have to equip yourself, in addition to your 5.1 or 7.1 system, with dedicated loudspeakers in order to emit sound vertically. There are speakers that are positioned directly in the ceiling, but these require a considerable amount of time and effort to install. There are also specific speakers that direct the sound to the ceiling from the floor. It is this second solution, certified DOLBY ATMOS ^® , that TANGENT has adopted, simplifying the installation process.

These loudspeakers, whose drivers are specifically filtered and tilted, emit a sound field towards the ceiling which must imperatively be reflective. The sound waves are thus reflected off of the ceiling to allow the listener to benefit from this vertical sound dimension. The rendering is ultra realistic, for a completely immersive experience in the heart of your movie.

In order to fully enjoy the DOLBY ATMOS ^® sound, your amplifier must be compatible with this technology, and have enough channels and the associated digital processing technology.
