FINAL SOUND 300i Loudspeaker Manual vs. 1.3 -US- c FS 2007RJ 8
.
In terms of your audio/video receiver settings, the front-, rear- and center loudspeaker channels have
to be set as SMALL satellites, when using the Model F300i flat-panel loudspeakers. How to install the
optimal channel settings differs with the brands of the audio/video receivers and therefore we
recommend reading the audio/video receiver manual or contact your dealer how to get the best
settings in order to get the Real Final Sound out of your system.
Application 2: Final Sound stereo configuration:
The panels in a stereo setting (two front panels) are preferably located in a symmetrical way and away
from the walls for optimum imaging. The panels need to point slightly towards the favorite listening
position as you can see in the figure above. The other loudspeaker panels shown are not applicable in
a stereo setting. For most of the Final panels you need a subwoofer.
Application 3: Final Sound virtual surround configuration:
For virtual surround, you only need two front panels, a subwoofer and a (stereo) receiver with some
virtual surround mode. This mode, together with two loudspeakers, will present a kind of five channel
emulation which will give you a very broad stereo stage just as in a movie theatre. Virtual surround is
based on SRS True surround or Dolby Virtual.
How do I connect the Final Sound loudspeaker panels safely?
The loudspeaker panels are labeled with an L (Left) and R (Right) code.
Each flat-panel loudspeaker panel comes with a 12VDC power supply, which has to be connected to
the mains. It is necessary to connect the flat-panel loudspeakers to the mains; otherwise they won’t
function. The flat-panel loudspeakers are designed to stay on the mains permanently, however it is
better to disconnect them during thunderstorms and when they will be not used for a long time.
The front and rear flat-panel loudspeakers are equipped with loudspeaker terminals, which are suited
for spades or common loudspeaker wires. The red loudspeaker terminal has to be connected to the
red terminal (+) on the audio/video receiver and the black terminal has to be connected to the black
terminal (-) on the audio/video receiver.
Before connecting the front and rear loudspeaker panels, all sound system equipment should be
disconnected from the mains. This will avoid the risk of damage to your system while connections are
made or broken. If you experience any problems installing the flat-panel loudspeakers please contact
your authorized Final Sound dealer.
How to clean and maintain the Final Sound loudspeaker panels?
Always unplug the Final Sound flat-panel loudspeakers from the mains and shut off all sound
equipment before you start cleaning.
Dry clothe cleaning
Dry clothe cleaning is a weekly recommendation to wipe off dust. Cleaning on a regular base will
prevent the insides of the panels to collect too much dust. To prevent fire or shock hazard, clean only
with a DRY clothe and prevent pushing the black(sound producing) parts of the loudspeaker panels.
Never use cleansers or chemicals or any liquids, which risk dripping into the loudspeaker panels.
Using chemicals can harm the stator´s protective cover. In that case, the panel does not approve to
the safety regulations any more.
Vacuum cleaning
It’s important to vacuum clean the panels once in two months. Switch off the panel’s power and wait at
least 15 minutes to start cleaning. Use a soft brush and don’t apply too much air pressure to the
panels. If the vacuum cleaner is very strong, keep some distance between the vacuum cleaner´s
brush and the panels. Vacuum clean both black panels (every electrostatic panel does have two black
stator plates).
