When all the connections to the loudspeakers have been made correctly, you can switch on your amplifier(s). Always ensure that the volume setting is at minimum before playing any music through your loudspeakers. Check if there is any audible ‘hum’ in the system by listening to the loudspeakers with out any music playing and gradually increasing the volume. If there is any ‘hum’ or ‘buzz’ consult your appointed ROKSAN dealer or distributor.

FINAL POSITIONING

When setting-up or testing your Caspian FR-5Loudspeaker system, choose the music material that you know well and sit in the central listening position. Do not be surprised if initially the music sounds different to what you have been used to.

NOTE:

Your Caspian FR-5Loudspeaker system requires at least 48 hours of continuous music programme at reasonable volume to allow the various moving parts of the drive units and other component to ‘burn-in’. After this period has elapsed, the bass will increase in weight, definition, extension speed and articulation whilst the treble will sound more open, coherent and tactile.

The FR-5Loudspeaker system will continue to improve in performance over the first few weeks of use and it is at this time you should finalise the placement of your loudspeakers.
