Preliminaries Looking After Your Loudspeaker Your Loudspeakers use a specially sealed finish. They should not be waxed or treated with spray polishes which will smear and dim the finish. Occasionally polish them with a dry or barely moist cloth to remove dust and finger marks, etc. Unpacking Your Loudspeakers Diamond 10 loudspeakers come in many shapes and sizes. If you are unpacking the larger loudspeakers or a subwoofer, please remember that these units are heavy.
Cables and Connectors Delay and LFE Settings The purpose of delay is to enable surround and dialogue information to arrive at the listener’s ears at the same time as the Front channels, even when the listening seat is in a non-ideal position. Rear Delay: If the listening position is equidistant from the Front and Rear speakers, a low delay setting should be set. The closer the listener is to the Rear speakers the higher should be the delay setting used.
Positioning the Front Loudspeakers Setting Up a Home Theatre System The 10.3, 10.4,10.5, 10.6 and 10.7 models are designed to be floor standing. We suggest that they are positioned at least 200 mm from the rear walls and 700 mm from the side walls, facing slightly inwards. The 10.1, and 10.2 models should be stand or wall mounted though they may be placed on a rigid shelf. The 10.0 model can be stand or wall mounted.
Fine Tuning Procedures Positioning Surround Loudspeakers Set up the subwoofer with all tone controls and filters on your amplifier or processor set ‘flat’. D10 DFS Surround Loudspeakers Listening rooms are not ideal. Because of room geometry and construction there will be areas with severe peaks at some frequencies and severe troughs at others. If you site loudspeakers in such areas the response will be highly non-flat.
Connecting the Front Loudspeakers Operating Your Subwoofer HF+ H F + Standard Connection HF- B A S S + H F - AMPLIFIER R.SPKR L.SPKR B LF+ Choose a suitable length of twin core speaker cable for each channel, and prepare the ends.
