The extra available space in the middle of the cabinet allows for the use of physically deeper pure

high-end mid-bass drivers. An additional benefit of the speakers´ shape is the lack of parallel walls,

which avoids internal standing waves from adver-sely affecting performance.

In extensive research we found out that it is vital not to use a single enclosed form in creating the box, but to break the cabinet into two separate elements connected by MDF, with additional dam-ping strips between the MDF and the aluminium, in

order to completely eliminate deleterious cabinet resonance.

CONNECTIONS

All connections must be complete and secure, since poor contact between speaker cable and input connector can lead to degradation of sound quality.

The speakers come with a set of two silver plated banana plugs in which the speaker wire is inserted and held in place by screwing down the insert post.

For the aluminium line we use silver plated banana connectors that do not oxidize, but contaminants or surface oxidation build-up on your speaker cables and connectors may degrade sound quality.

It is also a good idea to make a point of regularly cleaning all connections in your system since oxi-dation will build up on a regular basis that can lead to signal degradation.

ATTENTION:

Please pay special attention when handling the cables during hookup of the loudspeaker. It is recommended that the amplifier be turned off while connection to the speaker is made secure, with no stray wires contacting the cabinet.

As with any metal, the aluminium that makes up much of the cabinet is a conductive material. Therefore, a short circuit could result if any bare wire or connector should come in contact with the cabinet.

CABLING

We encourage and recommend the use of high quality speaker cables and believe them to be an important tool for the enthusiast in obtaining maximum enjoyment from their music reproduction system. High quality cabling is a significant tool in the fine-tuning of any audio system.

As with any purchase, listen carefully and allow your ears to guide you. It is beyond the scope of this manual to provide a useful compendium concerning cables, or to make specific brand or model recommendations. A number of high quality magazines do in fact list cable recommendations.
