User manual PIONEER S-7EX-W

[. . . ] If the room has a lot of reverberation, we recommend hanging heavy fabric on the walls, and/or putting a carpet on the floor to damp the sound. Connect the speaker system to an amplifier with a load impedance ranging from 4 to 16 ohms (a model with "4 ­ 16 " displayed on the speaker output terminals). Do not touch the speaker cones as they are easily damaged. In order to prevent damage to the speaker system resulting from input overload, please observe the following precautions: · Do not supply power to the speaker system in excess of the maximum permissible input. [. . . ] If the cables' wires happen to be pushed out of the terminals, allowing the wires to come into contact with each other, it places an excessive additional load on the amp. This may cause the amp to stop functioning, and may even damage the amp. Note that these spikes are sharp metal and can cause damage to flooring. Make sure to lay down a cloth or suitable base before setting up. Before connecting to your amplifier, make sure that the amp is switched off. This speaker does not include speaker cables used for connecting to a stereo. Use heavy-gauge speaker cable if possible, and keep the cables to the minimum necessary length. Select cables with as little resistance as possible, and make sure the cables to the speaker terminals and amp are firm and secure. Bi-wiring requires two cables for each speaker, one for high frequencies and one for low frequencies. Using separate cables for the high end and low end improves the sound. These speaker terminals carry HAZARDOUS LIVE voltage. To prevent the risk of electric shock when connecting or disconnecting the speaker cables, disconnect the power cord before touching any D3-4-2-2-3_A_En uninsulated parts. 1 Switch off the power to your amplifier. Grasp the cap knobs on the lower input terminals and rotate them to the left (counter-clockwise), insert the speaker cable wires into the holes in the terminal posts, then tighten the knobs to secure the short bar as well as the wires. 1 Loosen the cap knobs on the left input terminals and remove the two short bars. In this state, the low-frequency speakers and the higherfrequency speakers are completely independent. Store the short bars in a safe place for later use. The lower terminals are for the bass, and the upper terminals are for midrange and treble sounds. 2 Insert a speaker cable into each of the terminal post holes, then tighten the knobs. 2 Line up the holes on the grille with the protruding ends of the screws on the front of the speaker and press firmly. 3 Insert the supplied finishing screws into the four holes on the front of the grille and tighten to secure. Note that in this setup, connecting the cables with the polarity reversed may seriously degrade the tone; refer to the section "Connecting the cables" again and confirm that the cables are connected properly. [. . . ] For countries not mentioned above, please contact your local authorities for the correct method of disposal. By doing so you will ensure that your disposed product undergoes the necessary treatment, recovery and recycling and thus prevent potential negative effects on the environment and human health. Specifications and design subject to possible modification without notice, due to improvements. With the cooperation of AIR Studios, this speaker has been designated AIR Studios Monitor Reference.
