Acapella Violon 2001 Instruction Manual - Placement of The Violon 2001
Placement of the Violon 2001
The loudspeakers should be placed to each other considering a space of
2,5 metres or more. Depending on the peculiarities of your listening room,
we recommend a symmetrical placement. That means that the distances
to the sidewalls and to the listening area should be the same. Align the
loudspeakers with the center of your listening position. Space to the
wall behind the loudspeakers is less critical. We found out that very small
spaces mostly will be sufficient.
Basic position
When making alignments of the loudspeakers we assume that their distance
to the listening area is 15 % longer than the width of the base (for example:
base of the loudspeakers 3 metres, distance to listening area 3,5 metres).
From this position you can align the loudspeakers with the listening area
so that the interior sidewalls of the cabinet appear apparently such as a
2 cm narrow strip. This position will be the basic position of the loudspeakers.
Connection to the amplifier
The VIOLON 2001 is equipped with large binding posts for termination to an
amplifier. In principle, it comes with connectors for bi-wiring. For optimum
performance connect the VIOLON 2001 carefully to your amplifier, by using
high quality speaker cables. The binding posts allow high contact pressure
with correctly fitted lugs. As a result, you will obtain very little transition
resistance. Signal to the ion tweeter will be supplied by a cable bridge,
coming from the mid-range terminal. The RCA plug (Cinch) has been
designed as a drill socket. After connection to the input you can tighten it.
Level
The level of the ion tweeter has been factory-set. This setting is marked
with a stroke of a pencil close to the volume control. Running the ion
tweeter with this setting, you should listen to your loudspeakers a few hours
to familiarize with the sound reproduction. If required, you may optimise
reproduction in your listening room along with your components.
