Zaldek Centre Loudspeaker

Zaldek Surround Loudspeakers

Four self adhesive
feet are supplied with
t h e C e n t r e
loudspeaker. Apply
one at each corner of
the cabinet.

The Centre Channel
unit should be placed
above or below the
screen as shown. In
turn, the television
should be positioned
centrally between the
front loudspeakers.

We recommend that
the unit is mounted
on top of the television and placed so that the front grille is
level with or slightly in front of the screen. This will reduce
sound reflections from the top of the TV cabinet.

The loudspeaker should be located on a stable flat surface to
prevent the cabinet moving at high sound levels.

CONNECTION

You will need a single length of twin core cable. Connect the
red (+) terminal of the centre unit to the red (+) terminal
of the amplifier’s centre channel output. Connect the Black
(-) terminal of the centre unit to the corresponding Black (-)
terminal of the amplifier. (See the diagram below)

The Zaldek surround speakers use twin midrange and treble horns
for wide, uniform dispersion. They are designed primarily for wall
mounting and intended for use solely as rear effects speakers.

CONNECTIONS

You will need one length of twin core cable per speaker. Connect the
red (+) terminal of the left rear unit to the red (+) terminal of the
amplifier’s left rear channel output. Connect the Black (-) terminal
of this unit to the corresponding Black (-) terminal of the amplifier.
Repeat for the Right speaker.(see the diagram below).

MOUNTING PROCEDURE

Each speaker is supplied with four self-adhesive feet. Apply one to
each rear corner. Now connect a cable to each speaker.

Site the speakers about 600 mm above the listening position and
2.5-3.5 metres apart, central to the listener and behind the
listening position. If you use the side walls, the speakers should be
in line facing each other, and behind the listening seat. (see P 4).

Ensure that the wall is sound and can support the product. Drill two
5mm holes in the wall 310mm apart. Fix a suitable No 8 round
head screw firmly into each hole using appropriate wall plugs.
Leave a stub of 5mm protruding from the wall. Align the mounting
brackets over the screws and lower the unit onto the screws. The
speaker should now be securely attached with the spacers resting
against the wall. Now connect the speakers to the amplifier.

In a Home Theatre system the rear channels provide ambience and
rear perspective. To aid this effect we recommend placing the
Zaldek surround speakers in a high position behind the listener on
the rear wall. Exceptionally, the side walls may be used. (See P 4)
