Introduction This is Bronze Series, Monitor Audio’s most affordable speaker system, blending the best of its awardwinning predecessors with advanced technologies from our up-market Silver and flagship Platinum ranges, Bronze far exceeds the standards of performance and quality you’d normally expect from an ‘entry level’ range.
ENGLISH Plinth Fixing (Bronze 5 & 6 only) The Bronze 5 & 6’s are provided with plinths to improve stability and acoustic response. The plinths are secured in place by using the supplied bolts. Before you fit the plinth ensure the floor area is clear of any hard/sharp objects. To fit the plinth turn the cabinet over so that the bottom is facing upwards. Place the plinth onto the cabinet and line up the bolt holes in the plinth with the inserts in the cabinet.
Setting Up 2 Channel Positioning When used in a 2 channel system, the listening position and the loudspeakers should form an equilateral triangle. The speakers should be positioned approximately 6 - 10 feet (1.8 - 3m) apart. They ideally need to be between 8 - 18 inches (20 - 45cm) away from the rear and 3 feet (~1m) from the side walls. Experimentation is strongly advised when initially setting up your speakers, as environments and personal preference differ with each installation.
ENGLISH Setting up the Bronze FX The Bronze FX’s are paired, but specifically, right hand and left hand units. Of which both can be configured to bi-pole (normal operation) or di-pole modes. The factory setting is bi-pole. In bi-pole mode, all speaker units (mid/ bass unit and tweeters) are in phase. This feature is designed for when the Bronze FX is set up as a rear/surround speaker in a typical 5.1 channel system, or alternatively in a 7.
22-30° 150° 135- Bi-Pole Di-Pole RIGHT Bi-Pole Di-Pole 5.1 system with surround speakers on the rear wall (floorstanding/ stand mounters can also be used). LEFT Bi-Pole Di-Pole LEFT 22-30° ° 110 90- Bi-Pole Di-Pole RIGHT 150° 135- Bi-Pole Di-Pole RIGHT Bi-Pole 7.1 system with FX’s for surround and rear surround. Floor standing/ stand mounting speakers can also be used. Note left and right speaker positioning.
ENGLISH Fixing the Bronze FX to a wall CAUTION: You will need to determine where the Bronze FX’s will be fixed and the structure of the wall. For safety reasons, if you are unsure of your ability to provide a secure and safe fixing, do not attempt to fix these speakers to your wall, please obtain the services of a competent and qualified trades person. CAUTION: Ensure that there are no water pipes or electricity cables running behind where the wall brackets are going to be secured.
Wiring Single Wiring Connect a single set of cables to the terminals on the back of your speaker. It is perfectly acceptable to connect to the top, bottom terminals or even diagonally (experimentation is advisable to achieve the preferred results). NOTE: When using this method you must keep the terminal links in place. AMP + + - LEFT RIGHT Bi-Wiring This method can be carried out with the Bronze 2, 5 and 6 speakers.
ENGLISH Grilles All the Bronze Series speakers are supplied with grilles, covered in acoustically transparent cloth. They are contained within the separate card packaging. Grilles are held invisibly in place using magnets built into both the grille and the cabinet (Bronze FX grilles attach using pegs and sockets). When fitting, ensure they are correctly orientated with the badge at the bottom, and offer up to the cabinet. The magnet should pull the grille into position.
