Signal Connection

On Wall/Off Wall Switch

Use the best speaker cables you can. The length and type of speaker cable used in your system will have an audible effect. Under no circumstance should a wire of gauge higher (thinner) than #16 be used. In general, the longer the length used, the greater the necessity of a lower gauge, and the lower the gauge, the better the sound.

A variety of speaker cables are now available whose manufacturers claim better performance than standard heavy gauge wire. We have verified this in many cases, and the improvements available are often more noticeable than the differences between wires of different gauge. The effects of cables may be masked if the equipment is not of the highest quality.

Connections are done at the signal input section on the rear electronics panel of the Fresco i (see figure 1). Use spade connectors for optimum contact. Make certain that all of your connections are tight.

Be consistent when connecting speaker leads to the terminals on the back of the Fresco i. Take great care to assign the same color to the (+) terminal on both the speaker and the amplifier.

WARNING! Turn your amplifier off before making or breaking any signal connections!

Fresco i features a unique 'on-wall/off-wall' switch that tailors Fresco i's acoustic equalization to either installation option by engaging specialized equalization that improves the system matching. This is critical for effective multichannel playback. Set this switch to On-Wall if the Fresco i is mounted to a wall or ceiling. Set the switch to Off Wall if the Fresco i is more than four inches from a wall (see figure 1).

Break-In

Due to the sophisticated materials used to create high- resolution ATF™ (Advanced Thin Film) drivers your new speakers require a 72–100 hour break-in period at 90 dB (moderate listening levels) before achieving optimum performance characteristics. During this time you will experience incremental audible improvements, finally resulting in tonally balanced, clean, detailed sound.
