Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the VocoPro PIANO-5 Home Theatre/Vocal Speakers. You have just purchased one of the best domestic hi-fi speaker systems available and we hope you will enjoy the music they reproduce for many years to come. The following notes are designed to assist you in observing a greater degree of musical satisfaction from the PIANO-5. Before connecting your speakers, we suggest that you read this leaflet carefully.

Amplifier capacity/power handling

The PIANO-5 system will operate satisfactorily with any good amplifier designed for use with an 4-8 ohms impendance load. Although VocoPro speakers are designed to handle high power loadings, you must remember that excessive use of volume, tone controls and graphic equalizers is likely to cause damage to the drive-units. Be carefull especially with small amplifiers constantly driven on high power levels as these may be liable to go into “clipping mode” and distort the signal causing possible damage. If you hear distorted signal through the speakers you must reduce the power level.

Connecting to your amplifier

We strongly recommend the use of high quality speaker cables. Color coded cables are recommended to ensure proper polarity. Your local dealer should be able to advise you on this point. Always switch OFF your amplifier before making any connections or adjustments to the system. Connect the right-hand channel “bare wire” cable or individual (separated) banana plugs so that the positive (RED) terminal of your speaker is connected to the positive (RED) on your amplifier, and the negative (BLACK) terminal of your speaker is connected to the negative (BLACK) terminal on your amplifier (see diagram 1&2). Repeat the instructions for all channels. DO NOT connect more than one speaker to one terminal on your amplifier.

Phasing

Providing that you have followed the connecting instructions correctly, the PIANO-5 should be in phase and provide solid stereo images. If, however, you have any doubt as to the phasing of the speakers, try reversing the connections (RED & BLACK) to ONE of the speakers, and play a recording which has plenty of deep bass operating both speakers. If possible, switch the stereo amplifier to “MONO” for the test. The correct polarity is indicated by firm, full bass. When incorrect, the bass will be noticeably much weaker.

Service

No routine attention is required to the working parts of the speakers and being very reliable, VocoPro speakers rarely require service. Any service problems should in the first instance be referred to your dealer.
