Sikkerhetsinstruksjoner

• Plassering: Ensure speakers are placed on a stable, level surface to prevent tipping. Keep them away from heat sources, direct sunlight, and moisture.
• Ventilasjon: Do not block any ventilation openings. Proper airflow is essential for preventing overheating.
• Makt: These are passive speakers and require an external amplifier eller mottaker. Sørg for din amplifier's output power matches the speaker's impedance and power handling capabilities.
• Kabler: Use high-quality speaker cables and ensure all connections are secure to prevent short circuits or damage to your equipment.
• Rengjøring: Disconnect from power before cleaning. Use a soft, dry cloth. Avoid liquid cleaners or aerosols.
• Service: Do not attempt to service these speakers yourself. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

Oppsett

1. Pakker ut

Ta høyttaleren forsiktig ut av emballasjen. Ta vare på all emballasje for senere transport eller oppbevaring.

2. Attaching Stabilizer Feet

The D17 speakers are designed to be floor-standing. Attach the included stabilizer feet to the base of the speaker. Use spikes for carpeted floors to penetrate the carpet and couple the speaker to the subfloor, or use glides for hard surfaces to protect the floor and provide stability.

3. Høyttalerplassering

Optimal speaker placement is crucial for sound quality. Position the speakers equidistant from your primary listening position. Experiment with toe-in (angling the speakers slightly towards the listener) to achieve the best stereo imaging. Keep speakers away from corners and walls to avoid excessive bass resonance.

4. Connecting to Your Amplivligere/mottaker

The D17 speakers feature high-quality binding posts for secure connections. Use appropriate gauge speaker wire for the distance between your amplifier and speakers. Connect the positive (+) terminal of the speaker to the positive (+) terminal of the amphøyttalerens negative (-) terminal til den negative (-) terminalen på amplifier. Ensure all connections are tight and free from stray wire strands that could cause a short circuit.

Bruksanvisning

1. Initial Playback

Once connected, select your audio source on your amplifier/receiver and begin playback at a low volume. Gradually increase the volume to a comfortable listening level. Verify that sound is coming from both speakers and that the stereo image is balanced.

2. Innkjøringsperiode

Like many high-performance speakers, the Demand D17 benefits from a break-in period. During the first 50-100 hours of use, the drivers will loosen up and reach their optimal performance. You may notice an improvement in bass response and overall clarity as the speakers break in. Play a variety of music at moderate volumes during this period.

3. Amplivligere kompatibilitet

Sørg for din amplifier is capable of driving an 8-ohm load and provides sufficient power for your listening preferences. While the D17 speakers are efficient, a quality amplifier will allow them to perform at their best.

Vedlikehold

Rengjøring av kabinettet

Use a soft, lint-free cloth to gently wipe the speaker cabinet. For stubborn marks, slightly dampen the cloth with water. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or solvents, as these can damage the finish.

Rengjøring av gitteret

The magnetic grille can be carefully removed. Use a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment on a low setting to remove dust from the grille fabric.

Driver Care

Avoid touching the speaker drivers (tweeter, midrange, woofers) directly, as this can cause damage. If dust accumulates, use a soft brush or compressed air from a distance.

Feilsøking

• Ingen lyd:
  • Sjekk alle høyttalerledningstilkoblingene på både høyttaleren og amplifier. Ensure positive (+) and negative (-) terminals are correctly matched.
  • Bekreft ampstrykeenheten er slått på og riktig inngangskilde er valgt.
  • Sjekk amplifier's volume level and mute settings.
• Forvrengt lyd:
  • Reduser volumnivået. Forvrengning oppstår ofte når ampLifieren er overdrevet.
  • Inspect speaker wires for frayed strands or loose connections.
  • Ensure the speaker impedance is compatible with your amplivligere.
  • Sjekk lydkilden for forvrengning.
• Unbalanced Sound (one speaker louder/softer):
  • Check speaker wire connections for the affected speaker.
  • Verify the balance settings on your ampløfter/mottaker.
  • Ensure both speakers are placed symmetrically in the room.
