Important Safety Information andWarnings

1. Safety Information andWarnings

Before making any connections to your loudspeakers make sure that all units in your sound system are switched off 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.

1.1. Instructions

Read and understand these instructions before you use your loudspeakers. If damage is caused by failure to follow these instructions, the warranty will not apply. Please keep these instructions in a safe place.

2. Unpacking your loudspeakers

Unpack the loudspeakers fully. Lift the loudspeakers from the cartons by holding the cabinets. Do not use the protective bags to lift them. The 5040 loudspeakers are heavy - get assistance to lift them.

When manoeuvring loudspeakers, do not drag them across the floor as this may cause damage - lift each loudspeaker before moving it.

Check the loudspeaker carefully. If any items are damaged or missing, report this to your retailer 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.

3. Installation

Only use the accessories supplied with the product.
- If you play your loudspeakers without their grilles fitted, be careful to protect the drive units from damage.

DO NOT dismantle the loudspeaker. You will invalidate the warranty.
DO NOT connect your loudspeaker terminals to the mains supply.
- Do NOT expose your loudspeakers to excessive cold, heat, humidity or sunlight.
- The use of this apparatus is indicated for tropical and/or moderate climates.

3.1. Moisture

• To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, this apparatus should not be exposed to rain, moisture, dripping or splashing.

3.2. Servicing

Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

4. Symbols used on this product

Hazard Warning Symbol

The 'exclamation mark' calls attention to features for which you should read this manual closely to prevent operation and maintenance problems.

Preparation

Lift the speakers from the cartons by holding the cabinets. Do not touch the driver units or use the protective bags to lift them. The 5040 loudspeakers are heavy - gel assistance to lift them.

5040 Loudspeaker Installation

The 5040 loudspeakers are intended to be floor mounted only. We recommend you attach the support base during the unpacking process as in the diagram above, to avoid damage to the loudspeaker. However, you may attach it after the loudspeaker is unpacked, but you should protect the loudspeaker from damage by placing it on a soft cloth or similar. You must also take care to avoid damaging the drive units.

Spikes are sharp. Exercise care! Never place a spiked loudspeaker where it can cause damage! Always move your loudspeakers by lifting them - never drag them!

Thread the spikes fitted with locking nuts half way into the base and return the loudspeaker to the upright position (If you have a wood or stone floor push a spike cover over each spike before turning the speaker upright). When the speaker is the right way up, insert the Allen key into each rear spike from the top and adjust all the spikes in and out until the loudspeaker is level and stable.

Positioning

5010/5020

The 5010 / 5020 loudspeakers are ideally mounted on Q Acoustic floor stands and can also be wall mounted on Q Acoustic wall brackets. Stand mounted loudspeakers should be treated as floorstanding loudspeakers except that the loudspeaker may be placed a little closer to the back wall.

5040

The 5040 loudspeakers should be positioned at least 0.2m from a back wall, 0.5m from the side walls and placed 2.0 - 4.0m apart and equidistant from the seated listener. Turning the loudspeakers slightly inwards will sharpen the stereo image at the expense of a narrower sound stage.

5090

The 5090 loudspeaker should be positioned at least 0.2m from a back wall and central to a TV screen.

Foam Bung

5000 series loudspeakers are rear ported and designed to work best with at least 0.2m of free space behind them. Generally, the closer the loudspeakers are to the rear wall the more the bass frequencies will be reinforced until they overwhelm the overall sound. In this instance closing the rear port with the foam bung will tend to reduce bass, which is useful when domestic circumstances demand that the loudspeaker is used closer to a rear wall, as when wall mounted.

Ensure that the bungs are fitted snugly into the port but avoid inserting them too far. You will find the overall level of bass is reduced but bass extension and definition will be increased. The optimal position of the loudspeakers will only be found through experimentation and by making small adjustments during the first few listening sessions.

Loudspeaker positioning in a room is not an exact science. Even experts will find it necessary to experiment. Try to achieve the best balance between bass quantity versus quality and vocal quality versus intelligibility.

Connections

Before making any connections to your loudspeakers make sure that all active units in your system are switched off 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.

Terminals and Connectors

The 5010, 5020, 5040 and 5090 have standard two terminal crossovers.

Loudspeaker Cables

Specialist loudspeaker cables will offer a higher standard of reproduction than general purpose 'bell' or 'zip' wire. Use cable with generous amounts of copper for the front and centre channels. Thin cables reduce the bass and restrict the dynamic range. Surround (rear) channels are less critical.

Speaker cable has a stripe or tracer along one core. By convention this is connected to the positive terminals. The cables connecting the amplifier 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. Retighten 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.

Stereo Connections

Connect the RED (+) terminal of the RIGHT loudspeaker to the RED, Positive (+) terminal on the RIGHT channel of the amplifier. Connect the BLACK (-) terminal of the loudspeaker to the matching BLACK, Negative (-) terminal of the amplifier. Repeat this procedure for the LEFT channel.

Running In

In common with many types of complex mechanical systems the 5000 loudspeakers will not deliver their optimum performance until they have been in use for a certain initial running-in period. The correct performance of a loudspeaker depends in part on the compliance of the suspension materials used during manufacture and these will only attain their long term steady state once they are operating at the temperature and modulus of elasticity specified during the design phase. It can take several days for a loudspeaker which has been stored in a cold warehouse to finally reach room temperature and so we recommend at least 24 hours of normal use for the drive units to loosen up sufficiently for them to perform as the designer intended.

Aftercare

Cabinet Care

Clean cabinets only with a lightly dampened cloth. Do not use solvent based cleaning materials. Never use abrasives of any kind.

The cabinet surfaces will usually only require light dusting. Should an aerosol or other cleaner be used, apply the cleaner onto the cloth first and not directly onto the product. Test a small area first, as some cleaning products may damage the finish. Avoid products that are abrasive, or contain acid or alkaline agents. Do not use any cleaning materials on the drive units and avoid touching them as damage may result.

Grilles

Grilles should only be cleaned using a soft brush when necessary.

If using the the loudspeakers with the grilles removed, remember to replace them if pets or children are present.

Drive Units

Do not touch the drive units as they are easily damaged when exposed.

Warranty
