ALWAYS REMEMBER
- Lower the volume before making any adjustments to the system(e.g. switching
amplifier inputs or raising or lowering pickup arm).
- Switch off the amplifier before checking or making any changes to any connections in
the system.
NEVER:
Try to find out how loud the system will go.
Use your loudspeakers for any other purpose other than domestic listening.
DISCLAIMER
The 4mm plugs used on moderm Hi-Fi speaker cables can be insert into mains sockets.
Needless to say, this is pointless and can be fatal if tried. Make sure that young menembers of
family are prevented from ever doing this.
STANDS
For loudspeakers designed for use on stands, best results will be obtained if the stands are
rigidly coupled to the floor using carpet piercing spikes. Floorstanding loudspeakers should
also be coupled to the floor using the carpet piercing spikes supplied. This will help preserve
the outstanding midband clarity which is a hallmark of IBIS loudspeakers. IBIS has designed
its own stands to suit the H6 and H5. The floorstanding models are supplied with their own
support plinth. Contact your dealer for further information or visit the IBIS website

.
PROTECTIVE GRILLES
Your IBIS loudspeakers are supplied with protective grilles. The use of these grilles is entirely
optional and many owners prefer the appearance of the loudspeakers without them. A small
reduction in clarity may be apparent with the grilles on. Do remember that young children and
pets have an affinity for shining tweeter domes and woofer cones!
The magnetic grille can be easily sticked on the front panel, If you wish to use the grilles,
simply push them to the screws on the front panel, or pull them off to remove them.
IBIS H SERIES LOUDSPEAKERS AS A FRONT OR REAR LOUDSPEAKER
The front loudspeakers are positioned at ear height on the left and right as equidistant from
the television as possible. The rear loudspeakers are placed at ear height or a little above on
the left and right besides or better behind the listening position. (Fig. 4)
IBIS H Center 500 (HC500)
The HC500 loudspeaker visually and acoustically ideally matches the other H models. The
loudspeaker is placed immediately underneath the television set. Otherwise please adhere to
the general recommendations outlined in the previous chapters.
