English Installation and Connections How to Install A speaker’s playback sound is delicately influenced by conditions in the listening room. To produce optimum listening conditions, take due consideration of the conditions of your installation location before beginning actual installation. Place the speakers at ear level. Speakers should ideally be located at 30 ° angles from the listening position (together forming a total 60 ° angle), and rotated inward to face the listening position. 50 °～ 60 ° For a natural stereo effect, the right and left speakers should be installed in symmetrical and equidistant positions from the listening position. CAUTION To promote proper cooling, please assure that sufficient space is preserved between the speakers and nearby walls or other components (minimum 30 cm or more above, behind, and to right and left sides of each speaker). Leaving insufficient space between the speaker and walls or other components may lead to rising interior temperatures, leading to malfunction or damage. Connections When making or changing connections, always turn off the power and disconnect the power cord from its outlet. Also, be sure to read the operating instructions for the other components to which you are connecting these speakers. Do not plug in the power cord until all other connections have been completed. Use only the furnished accessory power cord. • Do not connect to both the XLR INPUT connector and the TRS INPUT jack at the same time. • Make sure to set the sound level at an appropriate level as the input signals to the XLR INPUT connector (or TRS INPUT jack) and RCA INPUT jack will be mixed together, affecting the sound level.
