Wharfedale 10.2 Speaker User Manual


 
Preliminaries
Diamond 10 loudspeakers come in many shapes and sizes. If you are unpacking the larger loudspeakers or a
subwoofer, please remember that these units are heavy.We suggest that you have someone to assist you.
Lift the loudspeaker carefully out of the packing. Do NOT try and lift the loudspeaker using the protective bag.
Unpack any accessories carefully.
If there is any sign of damage or if the contents are incomplete, report this to your dealer as soon as possible.
Retain the packing for future safe transport of the product. If you dispose of the packing, do so with respect to any
recycling provisions in your area.
Make sure you have plenty of unobstructed working space.
Place a soft cloth on the floor to protect the loudspeaker.
Invert the loudspeaker onto the cloth.
Thread a locknut onto each spike and loosely run it up the thread
Thread the spikes onto the spike inserts.Tighten them finger tight.
Invert the loudspeaker. Be careful not to damage the floor with the
spikes.
When the speaker is upright:You
will probably find that the speaker
will wobble with one spike not contacting the floor. Adjust this spike
until all four spikes are on the floor.
With the aid of a spirit level move each spike in and out until the loudspeaker is
level and sitting squarely on all four spikes with no rocking.
Now tighten each locknut securely against the collar in the plinth
to secure the spike
Screw in rubber feet are provided for use on wood or stone floors
etc. and should be attached in the same manner as the spikes.
The 10.1 and 10.2 louderspeakers are intended primarily for stand mounting, though they can be mounted on wall
brackets or even on sturdy shelves. The quality of louderspeaker stands greatly influences the performance of your

Looking After Your Loudspeaker
Your Loudspeakers use a specially sealed finish.They should not be waxed or treated with spray polishes which
will smear and dim the finish. Occasionally polish them with a dry or barely moist cloth to remove dust and
finger marks, etc.
If you play the speakers with the grilles off exercise great care. NEVER operate speakers with the grilles off if there
are children or pets in the house.
Occasionally, remove the loudspeaker grilles and brush them gently with a soft brush before replacing them.
NEVER use a vacuum cleaner to clean loudspeaker grilles.
NEVER stand objects on your loudspeakers. In particular do not stand flowers etc on them - they are not
jardinieres!
Avoid getting any liquid behind the grille. If you accidentally spill liquid on your loudspeakers, take them to your
dealer for attention before using them again.
Do not open the speakers; there are no user serviceable parts inside.
Never touch the drive units either with an object or your hands.
Your loudspeakers have been constructed to the highest standards. From the top grade furniture construction and
finish to the carefully designed and selected acoustic components our speakers are built to provide a lifetime of
sonic pleasure.We hope you will derive many years of good service from our products.

packing to ensure safe shipping.
