ROOM TREATMENT Good sounding rooms have a well-balanced acoustic. This does not mean that your home needs to look like a recording studio. Commonly found furnishings such as bookshelves, carpeting and furniture all exhibit beneficial amounts of absorption and dispersion. Rooms with little furniture, carpeting or other surfaces will demonstrate poor damping and will produce a hard, bright sound.

POSITIONING WEBERN & BERG A. On wall application: Wall mounting is allowed by an ingenious aluminium mounting device, unrivalled in its ability to provide the best environment for superior sound quality. Three positions are afforded by this bracket, enabling the speaker to be angled toward the listening positioning for best performance. The bolts that fix the angled position presses the cabinet against a rubber decoupling device, therefore damping and silencing the interface point between wall and speaker.

267 101 267 210 210 141 0°-12,5°-25° MOUNTING WEBERN & BERG A. On wall application: To prepare the speakers for wall mounting: 1. Please put on the enclosed gloves to avoid fingerprints. 2. Remove the aluminium inlays on the top and bottom of the speakers. As they are attached with magnets, they simply lift off. 3. Put the matching wall-mounting inlay on each speaker, so that the two holes for the two bolt sockets line up.

To attach the wall-mounting device to the wall: ATTENTION: For best performance, it is recommended that the speakers be angled toward the listening position. This means that special attention must be paid when mounting the brackets. If you have chosen to mount a pair of speakers with the tweeters on the inside, mount the bracket with the thin flat profile to the inside. If mounting a pair of speakers with the tweeters on the outside, mount the bracket with the thin flat profile to the outside.

To attach the speaker to the wall-mounting device: ATTENTION: As both WEBERN or BERG are symmetrical in driver orientation (having not top or bottom) selecting an orientation position for the speakers so that the tweeters face in or out, as well as up or down, can be done to suit the nature of each installation. It is recommended that experimentation take place to determine which orientation of the tweeters results in optimal performance. 1. Please put on the enclosed gloves to avoid fingerprints. 2.

4. Press the speaker against the rubber-pad and attach the speaker to the bracket by tightening completely the upper conical tipped bolt with the hexagonal tool (Allen wrench/ key). Please make sure that you use the same conically milled point on both, lower and upper, inlays. ATTENTION: For safety reasons it is recommended that all connection bolts be tightened every six months. B.

that while the average depth of the speaker is 50 mm (2 inches), it reaches a maximum point of 84 mm (3.3 inches) in the center of the arch. The extra available space in the middle of the cabinet allows for the use of physically deeper pure high-end mid-bass drivers. An additional benefit of the speakers´ shape is the lack of parallel walls, which avoids internal standing waves from adversely affecting performance.

specific brand or model recommendations. A number of high quality magazines do in fact list cable recommendations. AMPLIFICATION Our speakers demonstrate outstanding sonic results with a variety of amplifier types. They feature a cominaction of high efficiency and gentle impedance curves that allow them to be used with either solid state or tube electronics. However, it is still important to select an amplifier with care since the full potential of your system will only be revealed by quality electronics.
