First, if using the rubber feet, remove the locking nuts from the spikes and install them onto each foot.
Triton One.R Owner’s Manual Preventing Speaker Damage GoldenEar Technology Triton speakers are efficient and can be driven to loud listening levels with moderate amplifier power. They are also able to handle the output of very powerful amplifiers. To prevent damage to your speakers, please read the following guidelines before hooking them up. Amplifier Distortion — #1 Threat to your New Speakers! Amplifier distortion is the principal cause of speaker damage.
Speaker Placement GoldenEar Technology Triton speakers are designed to allow flexible placement while providing a very large window of sound throughout your listening room. Please remember that although the following recommendations are usually valid, all rooms and listening sets-ups are somewhat unique, so do not be afraid to experiment with the speakers. Remember, whatever sounds best to you is correct.
Triton One.R Owner’s Manual Positioning Triton as Left/Right Fronts To ensure the best performance possible, observe the following placement guidelines: Accurate Timbre: For the most accurate and natural timbre, speakers’ high-frequency drivers should be at approximately ear level. Balanced Bass: Placing speakers in corners will over-emphasize bass and reduce overall clarity. If possible, position speakers 8 in (20 cm) or more from the wall behind the speaker and as much as possible from either side wall.
Speaker Connection Your Triton speakers have a set of speaker level (high level) 5-way binding posts and, in addition, each speaker has an LFE input. This input can be used with surround sound decoders (Receivers, A/V Processors) to separately feed the discrete “Low Frequency Effects” channel into each subwoofer (which then combines with the low bass present separately in the left or right channel signals).
Triton One.R Owner’s Manual Using the LFE Input on Your Triton Speakers With surround sound playback you also have the option to use the low level LFE input in addition to the speaker wires. To do this, simply use a “Y” connector (available from your dealer) out of the Sub/LFE output on your receiver or processor to feed two line level cables, connecting one to the LFE input on your left Triton speaker and the other to the LFE input on your right speaker.
If You are Using a Source Component’s Multi-Channel Analog Outputs Because of the nature of their bass management systems, when using the multi-channel analog output from a BluRay, SACD or DVD-Audio player (or any other format that requires using 6-8 channel analog interconnects) the particular hook-up method you have chosen for your Triton speakers will impact which settings to choose in the player’s speaker setup menu.
Triton One.R Owner’s Manual Setting Your Speakers’ Low-Frequency Level Control Your Triton speakers have a level control which allows you to perfectly tune the output level of the powered low frequency subwoofer section to match your room, as well as to meet your own personal listening pOne.Rs. The range of adjustment does not allow control beyond typical room/pOne.R settings. We suggest beginning with the level control set at the 12 o’clock position.
Complete Home Theater Systems We strongly suggest that you use a matching GoldenEar Technology center channel and rear/surround speakers to complete your GoldenEar home theater system. Triton speakers can be used as rear or side surround speakers, with exceptional results for both music and movies.
Triton One.R Owner’s Manual Troubleshooting If you experience any difficulties with your Triton speakers, try the suggestions described below. If you are still having problems, please consult your GoldenEar Technology Authorized Dealer for assistance. 1. Make sure all your system interconnects and power cords are solidly in place. 2. Should you experience any level of ground hum or noise, try plugging the power cord into the same circuit as your amplifier. 3.
