FITTING SPIKES (EVO-30,40,50)
Floor standing Evolution² speakers are sup-
plied with a set of floor spikes. Invert the
loudspeaker and place the top on a soft
surface. Screw the spikes into the bushes
fitted in the base of the cabinet. Carefully
return the loudspeaker to its normal posi-
tion. Adjust the height by screwing in or
out one or more of the spikes until the
loudspeaker is stable. For wood or soft
floors spike seats and self-adhesive pads
are provided.
WARNING: Floor standing speakers are
heavy - the spikes can penetrate softer
floors materials and damage wood and
stone floors over extended periods.
CONNECTIONS AND TERMINALS
Choosing and Preparing Cables
Specialist audio cable usually offers better performance than
general purpose ‘bell’ or ‘zip’ wire.
Choose a cable of suitable diameter – cable that is too thin
will limit the dynamics of the sound and may impair the bass
response. Audio cable is polarised, with two cores of different
colours, or often a raised rib of coloured tracer in the case of
twin cable.
Split the twin cores to a depth of about 40mm. Carefully strip
the insulation from each end, leaving about 10mm of bare
wire. If the cable is stranded, lightly twist to gather any loose
strands.
Crossover Networks
Evo loudspeakers use a specially designed bi-wireable crosso-
ver panel with four terminal binding posts. Please follow the
drawing carefully to see the correct orientation of the loud-
speaker terminals. The upper terminals connect to the treble
unit and the lower pair to the bass units. As supplied, the tre-
ble terminal pair is connected to the bass terminal pair via
removable metal straps. These should be left in place for
standard single cable installations.
Connecting Loudspeaker Terminals
Unscrew the terminal. Thread the bared end of each cable
through the hole in the bottom of the terminal post. Ensure
that there are no loose strands which may touch adjacent ter-
minals. Retighten the terminal securely.
NOTE: When connecting loudspeakers, the cables to left and
right channels should be of equal length, regardless of the dis-
tance of the speakers from the amplifier.
