User manual TANGENT EVO E4

[. . . ] You have just purchased one of the best domestic hifi loudspeakers 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 obtaining a greater degree of musical satisfaction from your Tangent loudspeakers. [. . . ] Connecting to your amplifier Some of the Tangent loudspeakers are supplied with cables, however we strongly recommend the use of high quality speaker cables, colour coded or grooved cables are recommended to assist checking 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. Wire the right-hand channel cable so that the positive (RED) terminal of your loudspeaker is connected to the positive (RED) on your amplifier, and the negative (BLACK) terminal of your loudspeaker is connected to the negative (BLACK) terminal on your amplifier. Do NOT connect more than one loudspeaker to one terminal on your amplifier. Phasing Providing that you have followed the connecting instruction correctly the loudspeakers should be in phase and provide solid stereo images. If however, you have any doubt as to the phasing of the loudspeakers, try reversing the connections (RED & BLACK) to ONE of the loudspeakers, and play a recording which has plenty of deep bass operating both loudspeakers simultaneously with the stereo amplifier switched to „mono“. The correct polarity is indicated by firm full bass, when incorrect, the bass will be noticeably much weaker. Loudspeaker positioning Ideally the Tangent loudspeakers should be positioned at least 50 cm from a rear wall, 1 meter from a side wall and at least 2 metres apart. The space between the two loudspeakers and the distance form the listeners are important. If loudspeakers are placed too close together or too far apart, stereo images will not be fully developed. [. . . ] Any service problems should in the first instance be referred to your dealer. La distance entre les deux enceintes et la distance entre les enceintes et l’utilisateur est très importante.
