ENGLISH

ONE FX SERIES SPEAKER IS A “LEFT” CHANNEL SPEAKER AND THE OTHER IS A “RIGHT”

The serial number label identifies which is which (Figure 2). The “Left” speaker should be placed on the left side of the room as you face the front of the room. There are 2 grilles on each speaker, however, there is one logo on one of the grilles. This can be used to confirm speaker orientation since the grille with the logo should be placed so that it faces the rear wall.

DIPOLE/BIPOLE SWITCH

For ultimate flexibility and ease of operation the FX features a bipole/dipole switch (Figure 3, 3A). This control can be used once the speaker has been installed and should be set according to placement

and personal preference (See section on speaker placement and Figure 1).

ESPAÑOL

UNA BOCINA SERIE FX CONSTA DE UNA BOCINA PARA EL CANAL IZQUIERDO Y OTRA PARA EL CANAL DERECHO.

La etiqueta que contiene el número de serie identifica cual es cual (Figura 2). La bocina para el canal izquierdo debe situarse por el lado izquierdo de la habitación al estar viendo hacia el frente de la habitación. Cada bocina tiene dos rejillas, una de las cuales lleva un logotipo. El mismo se puede usar para confirmar la orientación de la bocina porque la rejilla que tiene el logotipo debe situarse de manera que esté viendo hacia la pared trasera.

INTERRUPTOR DIPOLO/BIPOLO

Para lograr la máxima flexibilidad y facilidad de operación, el modelo FX cuenta con un Interruptor Dipolo/Bipolo (Figura 3, 3A). Este control puede usarse después de instal- ada la bocina y debe fijarse de acuerdo a la colocación de la bocina y al gusto personal (Vea la sección sobre colocación de bocinas la Figura 1).

FRANÇAIS

UNE ENCEINTES SÉRIE FX EST COMPOSÉ D’UNE ENCEINTE “DROITE” ET D’UNE ENCEINTE “GAUCHE”

Le numéro de série les identifie (fig.2). En regardant vers le devant de la pièce, placez l’enceinte “gauche” du côté gauche de la pièce. Chaque enceinte est munie de deux grilles, dont l’une est dotée d’un logo. Cette caractéristique permet de déterminer l’orien- tation des enceintes puisque la grille dotée du logo doit faire face au mur arrière.

COMMUTATEUR DIPÔLE/BIPÔLE

Pour une souplesse exceptionnelle et un réglage des plus simples, les FX sont munies d’un commutateur Dipôle/Bipôle (figure 3, 3A). Ce commutateur peut être utilisé lorsque les enceintes ont été installées

et réglées selon leur emplacement et vos préférences sonores (Voir la section traitant de l’emplacement des enceintes et la figure 1).

DEUTSCH

EIN FX LAUTSPRECHER IST EIN “LINKER” KANAL LAUTSPRECHER UND DER ANDERE IST EIN “RECHTER”

Aufschluß darüber, ob es sich um den recht- en oder linken Satelliten handelt, gibt die aufgeklebte Seriennummer (Abb. 2). Der linke Satellit sollte auf der linken Seite des Raumes plaziert werden (Raum von vorne betrachtet). Jeder Lautsprecher ist mit 2 Abdeckgrills versehen, auf einem der Grills ist ein Logo angebracht, das der Orientierung dienen kann. Der mit dem Logo versehene Grill sollte zur hinteren Wand zeigen.

DIPOL/BIPOL-UMSCHALTER

Der FX Dipol/Bipol-Umschalter an der der hinteren Wand zugerichteten Seite des Lautsprechers (Abb. 3, 3A) sorgt für Bedienerfre-undlichkeit und Flexibilität. Diese Funktion kann betätigt werden, nach- dem der Lautsprecher montiert wurde und hängt von dessen Position und dem persön- lichen Hörgeschmack ab (s. den Abschnitt über die Plazierung des Lautsprechers und Abb. 1).
