ACOUSTIC FEEDBACK
If, after connecting your system you find the bass response to be boomy (or lacking in tightness and solidity) or if the bass driver cones produce excessive movement, the cause can usually be attributed to acoustic feedback – vibra- tions from the speakers reaching a turntable and tone arm, creating a reso- nance. In turn, this vibration is fed back to the electronics and speakers. Since Omega speakers extend to very low frequencies, isolating the turntable from vibrations becomes an important procedure. The turntable should be placed on a heavy, solid support located as far from the speaker as possible. At times, using a
NOTE: CD players, which are susceptible to vibrations, should be mounted on solid supports to isolate them acoustically. Another method to isolate the CD player is to mount it on four rubber or plastic legs which have a predeter- mined amount of elasticity.
CARE OF YOUR SPEAKERS
Use a soft cloth and a fine furniture oil to clean the wood finish. If you use a spray cleaner/polish, be careful not to spray the polish on the grille cloth. The grille may be vacuumed occasionally, but always set the vacuum cleaner on low suction to avoid tearing the cloth.
IN CASE OF TROUBLE WITH YOUR SPEAKERS
Note that you can use your amplifier’s two channels of information for simple troubleshooting. If the sound quality is distorted, listen to each speaker sepa- rately to check if the fault is present in both. If it is, then the trouble is likely to be elsewhere in your system. If the fault is in one channel only, reverse the outputs from your amplifier to the speakers
If you have been unsuccessful in locating the specific source of trouble (or if you have located it, but have been unable to correct it), please consult the Authorized Infinity Dealer from whom you purchased the system. Infinity Dealers are audio specialists and can be of great assistance.
