2.1 Important Information for set up
After having unpacked your loudspeakers, please allow the system to acclimate to the
temperature of the room for approximately an hour.
It is important to ensure the speakers sit firmly on a solid surface!
We recommend that you retain the original packaging, as it is the best way to guarantee safe
transportation should the need to do so arise.
Please note that the loudspeakers will take some break-in time to achieve optimum sonic
performance.
2.2 Connecting the F5 / F7 speakers
a) Before connecting the loudspeakers to your audio components and the power source make
sure that both the loudspeakers and your audio source are switched off and set the level
controls fully counterclockwise.
b) Connect your sound source or mixing console to the speakers. Use either the RCA
(unbalanced), XLR (balanced) or 1/4” TRS (balanced/unbalanced) connectors. In most
professional applications XLR/TRS will be the typical choice, while RCA is more common in
HiFi applications. Each one of the two loudspeakers has to be connected to one channel of
the sound source. Both RCA and XLR/TRS inputs have the same sensitivity.
Please note:
On the F5/F7 the RCA input takes precedence over the XLR/TRS input. Whenever a cable
is plugged into the RCA input, any signal from the XLR/TRS Input is cut off (but still used for
signal sensing of the Standby Mode). Therefore, best practice is to connect only one single
cable to the input you are actually using.
c) Check if the mains voltage selector of the product matches your local mains voltage range
you use. If this is not the case do not connect the loudspeakers to a power source! Please
contact your local dealer or national distributor. Use the included power cables to connect
the loudspeaker to the AC sockets.
d) Make sure that the line out level (volume) of your stereo is either at a low level or all the way
off. Then, switch on your audio system.
