Spikes and Feet Select finishes are supplied with a foam gasket on the out-rigger, please ensure this side is placed on the cabinet. For Wooden/Hard Floors M10 M4 M10 M4 X 1.25 mm (Silver 200, 300 and 500 only) The feet and ‘out-riggers’ are supplied assembled for use on noncarpeted, wooden/ hard floors or where spikes are inappropriate. All that is required is to fix them to the speaker base using the supplied bolts and hex keys.
AV Positioning English Please refer to the illustrations below for the ideal angles and positions of each speaker in your surround system. The speakers should be distanced from the wall according to the requirements of the speaker, which are listed in the 2-Channel Positioning section (page 2). However due to AV receiver crossover filter settings, they may be positioned closer to the wall. Experimentation is advised.
Atmos In-Ceiling When arranging the overhead channels in an Atmos system we would recommend using our three-way in-ceiling speakers. These employ a unique pivoting midrange/ tweeter module which offers a wider dispersion characteristic, and are ideal for Atmos duties. More information can be found on our website: monitoraudio.com Please see below for ideal positioning of 2 or 4 Atmos speaker setups. Typically these would be in line with the front left and right speakers.
Single Wiring Single wiring is achieved via a single set of cables to the terminals on the back of the loudspeaker. Internally the loudspeaker crossover guides the frequencies to the appropriate driver/tweeter. Low frequencies to the bass drivers, mid frequencies to the mid/bass drivers and high frequencies to the tweeter. It is perfectly acceptable to connect to the top, bottom terminals or even diagonally (experimentation is advisable to achieve the preferred results).
The Effects of Bi-Wiring and Bi-Amping Fundamentally a loudspeaker crossover varies the impedance seen by the speaker and by the power amplifier. The situation is such that when the full range musical signal is applied to the terminals of a fullrange speaker system, the bass driver(s) will only receive low frequency signals, the mid driver receives the mid band frequency signals and the tweeter only gets sent high frequency signals.
The new Silver Series has a bolt-through driver fixing to reduce cabinet colouration. Each bolt acts as a rigid brace, but also removes the need for conventional driver fixings as well, effectively decoupling the driver and front baffle to eliminate a further source of resonance. NOTE: Should this bolt become loose over time, or has worked loose during transit, then please use the supplied hex key to tighten the bolt back up. This only needs to be a quarter turn after the strain has been taken by the bolt.
