FOIRE AUX QUESTIONS - LINTON MAHOGANY WARFEDALE

Comment positionner les enceintes Linton Heritage pour une écoute optimale ?

Placez les enceintes de manière à ce que les tweeters soient orientés vers l'intérieur (logo W vers l'extérieur). Laissez la grille en place pour un rendu équilibré. Éloignez les enceintes des murs pour éviter un grave brouillon, et ajustez l'angle (toe-in) jusqu'à 30% selon vos goûts.

Quel type de câble utiliser pour le branchement ?

Utilisez un câble d'enceinte à deux conducteurs de section adaptée. Connectez la borne rouge (+) de l'enceinte à la borne rouge (+) de l'amplificateur, et la borne noire (-) à la borne noire (-). Serrez les bornes à fond.

Puis-je retirer la grille pour un meilleur son ?

La grille fait partie de la conception acoustique. La retirer donne un son plus brillant mais moins lisse et moins cohérent. Il est recommandé de la laisser en place.

Quelle puissance d'amplification est adaptée ?

Wharfedale recommande un amplificateur de 25 à 200 W sous 6 Ω. L'enceinte peut atteindre des niveaux sonores élevés sans distorsion.

Comment entretenir la finition en acajou ?

Époussetez avec un chiffon sec ou légèrement humide. N'utilisez ni cire ni spray lustrant. Enlevez les traces de doigts avec un chiffon doux.

Que faire si je renverse du liquide sur l'enceinte ?

Évitez que du liquide ne pénètre derrière la grille. En cas d'accident, n'utilisez pas l'enceinte et contactez votre revendeur pour inspection.

Puis-je ouvrir l'enceinte pour réparer un haut-parleur ?

Non, l'enceinte ne contient aucune pièce réparable par l'utilisateur. Toute intervention doit être effectuée par un professionnel agréé Wharfedale.

Quels sont les accessoires fournis ?

La notice ne liste pas les accessoires, mais inclut généralement des pieds ou des pointes. Consultez l'emballage pour les détails.

Où trouver le numéro de série ?

Le numéro de série se trouve probablement à l'arrière de l'enceinte ou sur l'emballage. Vérifiez l'étiquette.

Comment contacter le service après-vente en France ?

Pour la France, contactez Wharfedale UK : [e-mail] ou téléphonez au [phone]. Adresse : IAG House, 13/14 Glebe Road, Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire, PE29 7DL, Royaume-Uni.

WHARFEDALE

SINCE 1932

Heritage Limited Edition

Wharfedale is proud to present this Heritage Edition of one of the brand's most famous and popular loudspeakers - the Linton.

Gilbert Briggs, who founded Wharfedale in 1932, turned the company into one of the most famous loudspeaker brands in the world by concentrating on quality and value for money.

The Wharfedale Linton exemplified these two edicts, balancing fine craftsmanship, natural sound quality and affordability inside a beautifully proportioned loudspeaker that was bought in its millions right across the globe.

The original Linton, launched in 1965, went on to father other models based on its highly popular formula; the Linton 3XP, a 3-way design, being the last of the line...

...until now!

Linton Heritage Edition is a three-way speaker in the classic Wharfedale tradition. Beautifully hand veneered in Mahogany, by Wharfedale cabinet makers, with an inset front baffle and traditional cloth grille.

Underneath the traditional exterior, however, the Linton Heritage Edition is bang up to date and utilises a mixture of traditional and advanced technology. The bass unit features Wharfedale's innovative woven Kevlar® cone mounted on a rigid die cast chassis, this combination delivering a rich, controlled bass output with superb dynamic performance.

Midrange frequencies are handled by a second, smaller Kevlar® coned unit which is housed in its own internal enclosure, offering a broad frequency spectrum that covers the all important instrumental and vocal frequency range.

High frequencies are handled by a woven textile soft dome treble unit with high flux ferrite magnet, purposely engineered for smooth, detailed HF extension.

These drive units are combined by a highly researched crossover that is near inaudible to the listener, resulting in a coherent, seamless musical output that is both thrilling and natural in its rendition of any source material.

The original Linton was well known for its warm, rich and natural sounding character. The Heritage Edition retains that character but imbues it with an open, detailed performance that will entice you to explore your whole music collection.

Veritably a modern classic!

Unpacking Your Loudspeakers

• Please read this manual as soon as you have opened the carton.
• Lift the loudspeaker carefully out of the packing. Do NOT try to lift the loudspeaker using the cloth bag
  Unpack any accessories carefully.
• If there is any sign of damage or if the contents are incomplete, report this to your dealer as soon as possible.
• Retain the packing for future safe transport of the product. Dispos of the packing with respect to any recycling provisions in your area.

Positioning Stereo Loudspeakers

The Linton Heritage speakers feature offset treble units to smooth the high frequency dispersion. The speakers should be positioned with treble units inwards, that is with the W badge on the grilles towards the outside.

Additionally the drive unit dispersion is aided by the front grille which should be left on for optimum listening performance. Removing the grille will produce a brighter but less smooth sound.

If the loudspeakers are placed too close to the walls the bass will increase but may be boomy and indistinct. If the loudspeakers are placed further away from the walls, the inward angle ('toe in') may be increased by up to 30% . As personal taste plays a large role, experiment with different configurations and play a wide range of programme material before finalising the position of your speakers.

The optimum listening position is in the area broadly known as the 'sweet spot'. The more extreme the angle, the narrower is the sweet spot. Wharfedale loudspeakers are designed to cover a wide sonic perspective so there should be no need for extreme settings.

Standard Loudspeaker Wiring

Choose a suitable length of twin core speaker cable for each channel and prepare the ends. Unscrew each terminal a few turns. Connect the red, positive (+) terminal of the Left loudspeaker to the corresponding red, positive (+) amplifier terminal.

Connect the black, negative (-) terminals similarly. Tighten the terminal securely. Repeat this procedure for the Right Channel. If you are standard wiring make sure the terminal links are securely in place.

Looking After Your Loudspeaker

• Your Wharfedale loudspeakers use a specially hardwearing sealed finish. They should not be waxed or treated with spray polishes which will smear and dim their lustrous finish. Occasionally polish them with a dry or barely moist cloth to remove dust and finger marks, etc.
• Occasionally, remove the loudspeaker grilles and brush them gently with a soft brush before replacing them carefully.
• Never stand objects on your loudspeakers. In particular do not stand flowers, etc. on them - they are not jardinieres!
• Avoid getting any liquid behind the grille. If you accidentally spill liquid on your loudspeakers, take them to your dealer for attention before using them again.
• Do not open the speakers; there are no user serviceable parts inside. Never touch the drive units either with an object or your hands.
