Please read carefully these instructions
before
setting
up your loudspeakers: you will be able to obtain the
best performances.
The special project features make the Arbour loudspeakers
suitable for all the good quality amplifiers.
UNPACKING
Open the box and invert the carton with contents, then remove
the carton with care.
We suggest you to retain the original packing for future use:
the freight damages due to incorrect packaging shall not be
covered by the warranty, in the event of servicing too.
INSTALLATION
The 4.06 and 5.06 models are a bass-reflex system with the
exponential tube on the bottom side of the box: for a right
running it is necessary to screw in the supplied conical feet to
the inserts under the cabinet.
Fix the supplied self-adhesive pads to the base of all other
models to ensure more stability of the speakers, while limiting
resonance coming from ground and/or shelf.
POSITIONING
All the Arbour speakers are equipped with shielded drivers,
hence they can be located near to the television, without giving
rise to image distortion or colour change.
Positioning speakers in a room, please remember that the
acoustical characteristics of the listening room play an important
role in the sound quality:
• a room with not much furniture and/or with large windows
increases the high frequencies;
• a room with a lot of furniture and/or carpets/curtains
decreases the high frequencies;
• moving a speaker close to a wall or a corner will increase
the level of low frequencies;
• we suggest to place the speaker at least 20 centimetres
from the walls;
• we suggest to place the bookshelf speaker at 60
÷
80
centimetres from the floor;
• place the centre speaker close to the television, just above
or below the screen;
• do not place the speaker in a niche: the frequency response
can be changed; if this location cannot be avoid, put the
front panel of the speaker outside the niche.
The speakers are equipped with a front grille to protect drivers.
It is possible to use them without this grille, but we recommend
this protection to prevent accidental damage to the drivers.
The 3.06 model
is equipped by a
wall mounting bracket.
