Preparing the DIAMOND 12 Loudspeakers Stands and Brackets The bookshelf loudspeakers are intended primarily for stand mounting, though they can be mounted on wall brackets or even on sturdy shelves. The quality of loudspeaker stands greatly influences the performance of your loudspeakers, please do not use flimsy products. Centre Channel Loudspeakers Each centre channel loudspeaker is supplied with one set of mounting feet.
Positioning the Front Loudspeakers The D12.3 and D12.4 models are designed to be floorstanding. We suggest that they are positioned at least 200mm from the rear walls and 700mm from the side walls, facing slightly inwards. The D12.0, D12.1 and D12.2 models should be stand or wall mounted though they may be placed on a rigid shelf. The bass extension will improve if the small speakers are operated closer to the rear wall.
Connecting the Front Loudspeakers Standard Connection Choose a suitable length of twin core speaker cable for each channel, and prepare the ends. Unscrew each terminal a few turns.Connect the red, positive (+) terminal of the Left loudspeaker to the corresponding red, positive (+) amplifier terminal. Connect the black, negative (-) terminals similarly. Tighten the terminals securely. Repeat this procedure for the Right channel.
Connecting Centre Loudspeaker The Centre channel speaker may be connected as shown, or bi-wired. H F + B A S S + H F - B A S S - Setting Up a Home Theatre System Placement Front and Effects Channels: The front loudspeakers are placed on either side of the television screen, 2 to 3 metres apart. The speakers should be angled slightly so they car aimed towards the listeners. We recommend placing the rear effects speakers in a high position, behind the listener’s head.
Setting Loudspeaker Sizes and Levels If you are not using a subwoofer: Set the Front speakers to ‘Large’. Set the ‘Subwoofer’ option on the processor to ‘Off’ or ‘No’. The Front channels will now receive all the system bass. If you are using a subwoofer: When set to ‘Small’ all the system bass will go into the subwoofer. If you choose ‘Large’ the Front channel bass will be reproduced from the Front speakers. Follow the instructions on this page for suitable size and crossover settings.
Looking After Your Loudspeaker · Your loudspeakers use special hardwearing 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. · If you play the speakers with the grilles off exercise great care. NEVER operate speakers with the grilles off if there are children or pets in the house.
