User manual TANGENT EVO E5A

[. . . ] Ventilation: The cabinet is provided with slots and openings to ensure ventilation and reliable operation and to protect the unit against overheating. The openings must never be blocked, for instance by placing the unit on a bed, a sofa, a carpet or similar surface. Heat: Do not place the unit near sources of heat such as radiators, heat registers, ovens or other units that produce heat. Water and moisture: The unit must not be placed close to water, such as bathtub, washbasin, kitchen sink or laundry tub, in a damp cellar or close to a swimming pool, etc. [. . . ] In that case, move the unit further away from the television set, radio or video player. Condensation Condensation may occur in the following cases: When the unit is moved directly from a cold to a warm place. When the unit is used in a room where the radiator has just been switched on or a place where the cold air from the air-conditioning system is directed at the unit. If the unit is used in the summer in a warm and humid room just after it has been moved from an air-conditioned room. The unit will then have adapted to the environment and any condensation will have disappeared. 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, the stereo image will not be fully developed. In average living rooms, speaker spacing between 2 and 4 metres will usually produce satisfactory results. The listeners distance from the loudspeakers should be at least equal to and preferably greater than the distance between the loudspeakers. Tests should be made with both speech and music before deciding upon final locations. The rear panel of this speaker is equipped with an amplifier for driving the speakers. This makes the speaker extremely flexible for use in many different places. 5mm stereo jack input can be connected to either a line output signal or a pre output signal. You can connect your MP3 player to this input via the head phone output on the MP3 player. Please notice that if a signal is not provided for more than 10 minutes, the speaker will go into standby by it self. It is also possible to connect an active subwoofer to this output, if the bass level is not sufficient. Please notice that the signal in this connecter will follow the signal in the input connecter, when the "volume bypass" is set to ON. [. . . ] Then the volume will follow the signal provided to the speaker, which in this case is controlled by the left speaker. If no signal is provided to the speakers for a period longer than 10 minutes, both the speakers will automatically go into standby. This can be a MP3 player via the headphone output, it can be a CD player or it can be a source with a pre output (Volume controlled. ) The settings of the switches on the rear panel should be as described below.
