FITTING SPIKES (EVO²-20,30,40)

Floor standing Evolution² speakers are sup- plied with a set of floor spikes. Invert the loudspeaker and place the top on a soft surface. Screw the spikes into the bushes fitted in the base of the cabinet. Carefully return the loudspeaker to its normal posi- tion. Adjust the height by screwing in or out one or more of the spikes until the loudspeaker is stable. For wood or soft floors spike seats and self-adhesive pads are provided.

WARNING: Floor standing speakers are heavy - the spikes can penetrate softer floors materials and damage wood and stone floors over extended periods.

CONNECTIONS AND TERMINALS

Choosing and Preparing Cables

Specialist audio cable usually offers better performance	10mm
than general purpose ‘bell’ or ‘zip’ wire.
Choose a cable of suitable diameter – cable that is too
thin will limit the dynamics of the sound and may impair
the bass response. Audio cable is polarised, with two
cores of different colours, or often a raised rib of
coloured tracer in the case of twin cable.	40mm

Split the twin cores to a depth of about 40mm. Carefully strip the insulation from each end, leaving about 10mm of bare wire. If the cable is stranded, lightly twist to gather any loose strands.

Crossover Networks

Evo² front and centre loudspeakers use a specially designed bi-wireable crossover panel with four terminal binding posts. Please follow the drawing carefully to see the correct orientation of the loudspeaker terminals. The upper terminals connect to the treble unit and the lower pair to the bass units. As supplied, the treble terminal pair is connected to the bass terminal pair via removable metal straps. These should be left in place for standard single cable installations.

The Evo²-DFS speaker uses a twin terminal panel.

Connecting Loudspeaker Terminals

Unscrew the terminal. Thread the bared end of each cable through the hole in the bottom of the terminal post. Ensure that there are no loose strands which may touch adjacent terminals. Retighten the terminal secure- ly.

NOTE: When connecting loudspeakers, the cables to left and right channels should be of equal length, regardless of the distance of the speakers from the amplifier. In Home Cinema systems, this applies to front and rear channels.
