Une fois les enceintes raccordées, mettez l’électronique sous tension et faites un essai pour vérifier le bon fonctionnement. Si le son des enceintes semble « ténu » avec peu de graves, c’est probablement que les polarités des fils d’enceintes n’ont pas été respectées. Vérifiez à nouveau la polarité de tous les raccordements.

Si vous décidez d’effectuer un bi-câblage ou une bi-amplification, retirez les cavaliers métalliques plats placés entre les bornes afin de ne pas endommager l’amplificateur et les enceintes.

Le bi-câblage(Figure 6) permet des améliorations notables de la transparence d’ensemble des enceintes. Acheminez des fils de haut-parleur distincts vers les haut-parleurs basse fréquence et haute fréquence à partir d’un même amplificateur : après avoir retiré les cavaliers, raccordez un jeu de fils de haut-parleur aux bornes supérieures de chaque enceinte et un jeu (en général de plus gros calibre) aux bornes inférieures. Raccordez les autres extrémités des deux jeux de fils aux sorties d’amplificateur cor- respondantes.

La bi-amplification(Figure 7) permet d’utiliser des amplificateurs distincts pour les sections haute et basse fréquence de l’enceinte afin de permettre une plage dynamique plus large et une distorsion plus faible. Après avoir retiré les cavaliers, raccordez les fils de haut-parleur des sorties d’amplificateur haute fréquence aux bornes supérieures de chaque enceinte. Procédez de la même façon pour le raccorde- ment des sorties d’amplificateur basse fréquence aux bornes inférieures. Pensez à respecter les polarités de tous les raccordements (+ au +, - au -).

RETRAIT DE LA GRILLE

Pour retirer la grille d’acier, desserrez à l’aide d’une clé Allen de 3/16” les quatre vis des agrafes en plastique maintenant la grille. Une fois les vis retirées, les agrafes sont libérées et la grille peut être enlevée.

MONTAGE MURAL

Les modèles TFE60 et TFE60C comprennent des douilles taraudées à l’arrière de l’enceinte, compatibles avec les systèmes à montage mural en option qui permettent le montage des enceintes sur un mur. Nous recommandons l’utilisation des systèmes de montage mural Omnimount série 30.0 ou 60.0 (www. omnimountpro.com) avec ces systèmes.

REMOVING THE GRILLE

The steel grille can be removed by loosening the four screws in the plastic clips that hold the grille, using 3/16" Allen wrench. When the screws are removed the clips will come loose, and then the grille will release.

WALL MOUNTING

The TFE60 and TFE60C include threaded inserts on the rear of the cabinet to work with optional wall mount systems that allow the speakers to be mounted to a wall. We recommend Omnimount Systems 30.0 or 60.0 Series wall mounts (www.omnimountpro.com) for use with these systems.

SPIKE FEET

The TFE100 and TFE200 have adjustable carpet spikes that can be used to anchor the speaker securely to the floor on carpeted surfaces. The speakers are shipped with the spikes recessed up into the plas- tic feet. Use the speakers in this configuration if you do not intend to use the spikes, but instead want the speakers to rest on the feet. If you desire the speakers to rest on the spikes, follow these steps to lower the spikes to a position below the bottom of the feet (7mm and 10mm sockets or nut drivers are needed):

1)Carefully tip the speaker over on the rear or one of the sides.

2)With a wrench, loosen the nut on the shaft of the spike.

3)Unscrew the spike to the desired level below the bottom of the foot.

4)Tighten the nut firmly against the bottom of the speaker.

5)Repeat this process for the other three feet.

6)Carefully raise the speaker back to the upright position.

REMOVABLE FEET

The TFE60C and TFE60 have optional foam feet shipped loose in the box. If the speaker will be mounted on a shelf or a television (not wall mounted), the feet can be applied to the bottom of the cabinet. Simply remove the backer from the adhesives side of the feet and mount the feet near the corners of the cabi- net.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Your speakers are designed to work with a wide range of electronic components. As little as 30 watts per channel can provide enough power for most applications. If you have a large room or prefer louder listening levels, more power may be required.

Caution: When choosing an amplifier, do not exceed the power rating of the speaker. If you hear very high levels of audible distortion you are exceeding the capabilities of the system. Damage can occur from this distortion, turn the volume back down until

the distortion disappears.

Use the following guidelines to maintain the appearance of your speakers. Use a soft, damp cloth to clean the speaker cabinet. Avoid using harsh detergents or cleaning fluids. Do not vacuum any of the speaker components, permanent damage could occur.
