4. ng to the users own personal preference The switches at the respective appropriate position have an effect on the acoustics of the room the used front end amplifier audio source etc as well as the audio recordings For example when using a tube amp a higher position may perform better whilst a lower position when used with solid state amplifiers can often prove to be a practical decision The Presence switch is an excellent tool for fine tuning the balance of the sound at the same time fine tuning the placement of the loudspeakers in the listening room The positioning of loudspeakers in the listening area Aurelia Cerica speakers are more directional than ordinary speakers and therefore their positioning in the listening area is easier than normal Due to the directionality sound reflected from walls the floor and the ceiling is less than normal and as a result of this high standard sound can also be enjoyed in locations which are acoustically difficult The best quality of sound is achieved when the loudspeakers are placed far enough away min 50 cm from the room walls corners or other surfaces The loudspeakers should if possible be positioned in such a way that they are equal distance from the listener The distance between the loudspeakers should be about 2 3 of their distance from the listening position Fig 2 Wider positioning could be tested in softer room acoustics Generally it is not recommended to plac
5. o ensure that the surface of the loudspeaker is not damaged For cleaning an aluminium profile we recommend that the same substances are used as when cleaning painted and varnished surfaces Fault situations All Aurelia loudspeakers are measured tested and checked at the factory during their manufacture If an error nonetheless occurs with the loudspeakers they should be returned to the relevant retailer The most common cause of faults are improper cable connections Ensure that the cabling and connections are made correctly In the event that no sound can be heard from the loudspeakers you can check the functionality by switching it to an operating loudspeaker channel If in this event the loudspeaker works the fault is in another location than the loudspeaker In so far as the speaker remains silent it is possible that the speaker has been damaged Warranty The warranty of the loudspeaker is five 5 years from the date of purchase The warranty covers faults resulting from the manufacturing process and materials but not damages as a result of incorrect use of the product The most common fault caused by incorrect use is related to damage to the tweeter element by an audio level which is too high Also the bass units may be damaged when excessive volumes levels are used In so far as the sound of the loudspeaker becomes distorted it may a sign of an excess volume level In this case the volume must be lowered immediately Th
6. o that the plate s concave section is set against the arched base of the loudspeaker Note should be taken that the holes on the shim spacer are set to the same location as the holes on the base of the loudspeakers 3 Carefully tighten the stand tubes 3 pieces adequately to the threads present on the base of the loudspeakers IMPORTANT Excessive tightening may damage the threads of both the stand tubes and the base of the loudspeaker 4 Place the stand plate onto the stand tubes according to figure 1 so that the screw holes are positioned at the same location as the screw holes on the stand pipe Tighten the screws to the stand tube to a sufficient tightness using a cross point screwdriver Phillips IMPORTANT Avoid excessive tightening 5 Place the loudspeaker in the upright position and move it to the listening location IMPORTANT Never lift a loudspeaker by its reflex tube The connection of an amplifier to the loudspeakers NOTE Always switch the amplifier off before connecting or disconnecting loudspeaker cables The loudspeakers are connected to an amplifier through the connections and speaker cables located behind the loudspeakers The right loudspeaker is connected to the amplifier s right channel R and the left loudspeaker is connected to the left channel L Fork connectors or banana plugs can be used when connecting the loudspeakers The cables can also be connected to the loudspeakers without connectors b
