User manual HECO METAS XT BROCHURE

[. . . ] This means that the black negative terminals on the speakers (-) must be connected to the negative (-) terminals on the amplifier, the red positive (+) speaker terminals to the positive (+) amplifier terminals. To make this easier one wire of most speaker cables is marked with a coloured strip or a ridge in the insulation. Before switching on the system double-check all your connections and make sure that the terminal screws are tight and that there are no short circuits caused by stray wire filaments ­ this could cause serious damage to your amplifier!HECO METAS - BI-WIRING AND BI-AMPING Connector panel on the Heco Metas loudspeakers: The connector panels on the Metas speakers are equipped with 5 terminal screws, enabling bi-wiring/bi-amping in addition to conventional connection to an amplifier. [. . . ] an additional connector terminal enables a 2 dB treble boost option. Bi-wiring means using separate cables to carry the high and low audio frequencies. Bi-amping takes this idea one step further and uses separate power amplifiers as well as separate cables for high and low frequencies. bi-amping in particular produces an additional improvement in sound reproduction quality. For conventional connections, metal bridges are installed as standard to make the +2 dB treble adjustment active. The right treble setting depends on the room, the positioning of the speakers and, of course, personal taste. The +2 dB setting is recommended for rooms with heavy upholstered furniture and curtains, for example, which have a muffling effect. THE HECO METAS 300, 500 AND 700 IN STEREO MODE In the ideal configuration the speakers and the listening position should form an equilateral triangle. When the left and right speakers are the same distance from the listening position their sound arrives at the same time, resulting in a harmonious, natural music reproduction. There should be a clear line of sight between the loudspeakers and the listening position. Weak amplifiers with low output ratings can actually be more dangerous for your speakers at medium volumes because weak amplifiers may overload much faster than powerful ones and this causes measurable and audible distortion, which is extremely dangerous to your loudspeakers. Always turn the volume down immediately as soon as you hear distortion!If you like listening to loud music make sure that your amplifier can deliver at least as much power as the speakers' power-handling rating. Amplifiers, tuners and CD players can all produce inaudible high-frequency signals ­ and this doesn't only apply to cheap products. If your tweeters fail at low or medium volumes you should have a qualified technician check your system components for dangerous inaudible signals. Till att börja med vill vi tacka för att du bestämt dig för en HECO-produkt och samtidigt gratulera till detta beslut. Beakta polningen vid anslutning av kablarna, dvs högtalarnas svarta (-) klämmor anslutas till förstärkarens minusklämmor och högtalarnas röda klämmor (+) till förstärkarens motsvarande plusklämmor. Metas 300: Om högtalarna placeras på en hylla, bör de placeras så fritt som möjligt, och avståndet till väggar och föremål baktill och i sidled ska uppgå till minst 10 cm. HECO METAS 300, 500 OCH 700 SOM FRONT- ELLER BAKHÖGTALARE Fronthögtalarna ska placeras i öronhöjd till vänster och höger med om möjligt samma avstånd till TV-apparaten.
