3. SELECTING THE SPEAKERS LOCATION (STEREO)
If you decided not to use the Goldmund Logofoot stands, you will need a very strong
support of 60 to 70 cm high for the Logos Mini to sound properly.
A rigid floor is very important for the optimal sonic result of your Logos Mini speakers.
Especially if you use the Logofoot, select a position of the speaker to have the most
rigid possible coupling with the floor. Solid coupling is essential, and if your support is
standing on a suspended floor, optimal result requires that you arrange the support
to have at least 2 feet of the stand above a supporting beam or close enough from a
supporting wall.
In Stereo, the ideal location of the speaker in the room has to be found by
experiment.
Avoid the speakers to be standing in room’s corners, and try to set them away from
any adjacent wall by 60cm (2 feet) minimum.
The proper listening position is located by 1 to 1.5 times the distance between the
speakers at equal distance from each.
Depending on the room acoustics, the speakers may be standing parallel or slightly
tilted toward the listener.
If the room size permits, try to separate the speaker by 3m (10 feet) minimum to
provide a large stereo image.
4. CONNECTING THE BUILT-IN AMPLIFIER
The cables coming from the Preamplifier or the Home-theater processor may be
analogue or digital and connected to the corresponding input connectors on the back
panel, using highest quality interconnects or digital cable like the Goldmund Lineal.
When used in digital, you may use 1 single digital cable from the processor and plug
it into the digital input of one speaker, then another digital cable from the digital
output of the same speaker to the digital input of the other speaker.
On each speaker a set of adjustment is made accessible below the small cover
called “Adjustments”. From left to right you find the following :
•
“Dig” – “Ana” : select if you use analogue or digital inputs.
•
“R” – “L” : if you use digital input, select which channel of the stereo signal
carried you want to play in this speaker, Right or Left
•
“Gain+” – “Gain-“ : select “Gain-“ for most applications. It corresponds to the
clipping level of the built-in amp at 0dB digital or with 2V analogue. “Gain+”
position will provide an additional 12dB of gain if the source is too low level.
