[. . . ] Incorrect connection can result in poor imaging and loss of bass. To bi-wire, remove the links by loosening the terminal caps and use a separate 2-core cable from the amplifier to each pair of terminals. When bi-wiring, incorrect connection can also impair the frequency response. Ask your dealer for advice when choosing cable. Keep the total impedance below the maximum recommended in the specification and use a low inductance cable to avoid attenuation of the highest frequencies. fINE TUNING Before fine tuning , double check that all the connections in the installation are correct and s e c u re . Moving the speakers further from the walls will reduce the general level of bass. Space behind the speakers also helps to create an impression of depth. Conversely, moving the speakers closer to the walls will increase the level of bass. If you want to reduce the bass level without moving the speakers further from the wall, fit the foam bungs in the port tubes (figure 4). If the bass is uneven with frequency it is usually due to the excitation of resonance modes in the room. Even small changes in the position of the speakers or the listeners can have a profound effect on how these resonances affect the sound. Try mounting the speakers along a different wall. Even moving large pieces of furniture can have an effect. If the central image is poor, try moving the speakers closer together or toeing them in so they point at or just in front of the listeners. (figure 2b) If the sound is too harsh, increase the amount of soft furnishing in the room (for example use heavier curtains), or reduce it if the sound is dull and lifeless. [. . . ] Avoid touching the drive units, especially the tweeter, as damage may result. Förvissa dig om att den positiva terminalen (markerad med + och röd färg) ansluts till förstärkarens positiva anslutningskontakt och den negativa terminalen (markerad med ­ och svart färg) ansluts till förstärkarens negativa anslutningskontakt.
