Installation

The gloss black insert on the face-plate of your new Hafler Equipment has been packaged with a removable protective coating. Please peel off this protective coating following in- stallation.

When cleaning the face-plate, we advise a soft cotton cloth with a non-abrasive cleaner that is safe for lexan and painted surfaces. DO NOT use paper towels or any coarse material to clean the face-plate as these materials may scratch the insert.

IRIS is shipped with styled end caps on its front panel. Rack- mounting ears are available from the factory for standard 19”- wide racks.

In locating IRIS, keep these factors in mind:

1)All preamplifiers with high-gain moving-coil phono circuitry can be susceptible to pickup of hum from strong external magnetic fields. Such fields are usually strongest from power amplifiers, but can also come from other equipment. When stacking or racking your equipment, you may have to do so as to minimize this potential problem.

2)The IR (infrared) “eye” for the IRIS remote system is behind the dark red screen above the Record 1 switch. The IRIS remote system combines a powerful transmitter and very sensitive receiver, resulting in highly reliable communication under conditions where many remotes will not work. However, best operation usually results if the preamplifier is located AT or

ABOVE the height at which you will typically use the transmitter.

3)It is also desirable that the IR “eye” not have to look directly at extremely bright light sources, particularly those of fluores- cent nature. Such conditions can impede communication reli- ability.

IRIS specifications

The Hafler IRIS is a noteworthy advancement in the realm of audio technology, particularly designed for audiophiles and sound engineers seeking high fidelity listening experiences. This speaker system epitomizes the confluence of innovative design and high-performance engineering, making it a favored choice among sound enthusiasts.

One of the standout features of the Hafler IRIS is its utilization of advanced crossover technology. The IRIS employs a meticulously designed passive crossover network that ensures a seamless transition between different frequency ranges. This technology allows for crisp highs, detailed mids, and powerful lows, creating a well-balanced sound profile that can accurately reproduce even the most complex audio tracks.

The speaker design incorporates a unique enclosure that minimizes distortion and enhances acoustic performance. This sturdy construction not only mitigates unwanted vibrations but also provides an optimal acoustic environment for sound reproduction. The IRIS is crafted with high-quality materials, including dense MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard), which further contributes to its robust build and resonance-free performance.

Another significant characteristic of the Hafler IRIS is its driver configuration. The system typically includes a high-performance woofer, midrange, and tweeter, each meticulously selected to ensure compatibility and performance consistency. The woofer is designed to deliver deep bass response, while the midrange driver excels in delivering vocals and instrumental clarity. The tweeter is engineered to reproduce high frequencies with precision, ensuring that every note resonates with clarity.

Hafler has also integrated innovative technologies to enhance user experience. With features like bi-wiring capability, audiophiles can connect their amplifiers directly to the woofer and tweeter separately, allowing for improved control over each driver’s performance. This flexibility enables users to tailor their listening experiences to meet personal preferences and requirements.

Furthermore, the Hafler IRIS is designed to fit seamlessly into a variety of audio setups, whether in professional studios or home listening environments. Its sleek aesthetic allows it to complement modern décor, making it an attractive addition to any space.

Overall, the Hafler IRIS delivers a compelling mix of design, technology, and sound quality, making it a preferred choice for those who seek a sophisticated listening experience. Its commitment to high performance and user-centric design principles ensures that it stands out in the competitive landscape of audio technology.
