Satellite Connection
Connecting Aego-T satellites to an audio amplifier or audio-visual processor is fundamentally a simple process. If only two satellites are to be connected, identify the left and right speaker output terminals on the amplifier connection panel and connect one satellite to each. If three or more Aego-T satellites are to be used in a multi-channel home-theatre system with an audio-visual processor/amplifier, identify the appropriate output terminal for each channel (front left, centre, front right, etc) and connect a satellite to each.
Aego-T satellites are fitted with a pair of binding- post terminals intended to be used with stripped wires. Insert a stripped wire end through the cross- hole of each terminal and tighten the terminal sleeve. Take care when connecting cables not to touch the negative and positive terminals together. Make connections with all system electronics switched off.
It is important when connecting Aego-T satellites to ensure that each is connected with the same polarity. Positive speaker terminals should always be connected back to amplifier positive terminals, and negative speaker terminals connected back to amplifier negative terminals. Performance will be seriously degraded if connections are made with incorrect polarity.
Choice of cable type to connect Aego-T satellites will be influenced by the characteristics of other components in your hi-fi system and your dealer or distributor will be able to advise. Even so, there are some simple guidelines to consider:
•Cable runs to each speaker should be kept as short as possible consistent with each being of equal length.
•Short cable runs are especially important if the cable is of relatively small cross-sectional- area.
•If the cable is advertised as “directional” care should be taken to ensure that its orientation is as recommended.
Aego-T Satellite Amplifiers
The Aego-T satellite is a relatively high sensitivity speaker that does not require a generously rated power amplifier for adequate volume levels to be achieved in an average listening room. A minimum of 25 and maximum of 100 Watts into 8 Ohms per channel is recommended. Aego-T satellites also offer a relatively easy load to the amplifier and do not make unusually heavy demands on its power delivery.
No overload protection systems are fitted to Aego-T satellites so it is possible to cause damage through over-driving. Such damage can occur whatever the power rating of the amplifier and is not covered by any warranty. If ever the sound at high volumes becomes distorted your speakers are at risk of damage. In such circumstances the volume must be reduced.
Subwoofer Connection
The Aego-T subwoofer requires connection both to mains power and an appropriate subwoofer line-level output signal. The connection sockets are located on the back of the subwoofer. Leave the subwoofer switched-off at the mains until all connections are made and ensure that the subwoofer level control, also located on the connection panel is turned fully anti-clockwise.
Connect the subwoofer to the audio-visual processor subwoofer output using an appropriate RCA Phono connection cable. Ensure that the cable is of good quality.
After checking that the mains voltage selector on the subwoofer connection panel is set correctly, connect the subwoofer via its IEC mains input to a mains wall socket. Use only the mains cable supplied with the subwoofer.
