Owners Manual

Dear HECO Customer,

We congratulate you on acquiring this exclusive HECO product.

Acquiring this loudspeaker will enable you to full your wildest dreams for listening to natural,

unadulterated sound.

Please study the instructions and information below carefully before using your new loudspeakers.

SET-UP INFORMATION

The DIREKT DREIKLANG should, where possible, be set up in a free-standing position at a light

angle to the listening location (Fig. 1). The sound of the loudspeakers can be easily inuenced

by being set at an angle to the listening position. A greater angle makes the sound more direct

and present, while a lesser angle makes the sound less present and emphasises the three-

dimensionality instead.

In the ideal conguration the speakers and the listening position should form an equilateral triangle.

When the left and right speakers are the same distance from the listening position their sound

arrives at the same time, resulting in a harmonious, natural music reproduction.

There should be a clear line of sight between the loudspeakers and the listening position. Any

sound-absorbing or reecting obstacles in the path will distort the sound.

FEET AND SPIKES

The feet for the DIREKT DREIKLANG are provided in a separate package and have to be tted

after being unpacked. A matching hex or Allen key is enclosed. For tting, the loudpeaker should

be placed on its top on a scratch free surface (carpet etc.). The feet are then secured one after the

other with two screws each as shown in Fig. 2a and 2b. The loudspeaker is then turned around and

set up, ideally by two people.

The feet are delivered with soft silicone feet. These feet are ideal for separating the loudspeakers

from vibration-prone oors (e.g. timber oors in old buildings). For hard oors (e.g. stone, concrete),

the spikes provided should be used. The spikes are height-adjustable and possess a counter nut.

Any irregularities in the oor may be offset and a rm stand may be achieved with the spikes. They

also decouple the loudspeakers from the base so that any undesirable resonance is avoided.

The spikes must be screwed into the threaded sleeves at the bottom of the box when the silicone

feet have been removed. In order to prevent the oor from being damaged, you should get help

from someone to tilt the box slightly when tting the spikes.

First, screw in two spikes next to each other and – before setting the box down – put the

corresponding washers (rubber facing down) in place. Then attach the opposite spikes and lower

accordingly. Then align the speaker vertically and lock the spikes in place.
