Opsætningsvejledning
Udpakning
Carefully remove the speakers from their packaging. Retain all packing materials for future transport or storage. Inspect the speakers for any signs of damage. If any damage is found, contact your dealer immediately.
Placering
Optimal speaker placement is crucial for sound quality. Place the speakers on sturdy, level surfaces, such as dedicated speaker stands or robust bookshelves. For best stereo imaging, position the speakers equidistant from your primary listening position, forming an equilateral triangle. Keep them away from corners and walls to avoid excessive bass resonance. Experiment with toe-in (angling the speakers slightly towards the listening position) to fine-tune the soundstage.

Forbindelser
Sørg for din amplifier is turned off before making any connections. Use high-quality speaker cables. Connect the positive (+) terminal (red) on your amplifier to the positive (+) terminal on the speaker, and the negative (-) terminal (black) on your amplifier to the negative (-) terminal on the speaker. Maintain correct polarity for both speakers to ensure proper phase and sound imaging. These speakers support bi-wiring; if using a single wire connection, ensure the metal links between the terminals are in place.

Operation
Når du er forbundet, skal du tænde din amplifier and select the appropriate input. Start with the volume at a low level and gradually increase it to your desired listening level. Avoid playing music at excessively high volumes for prolonged periods, as this can damage the speakers and your hearing.
Indbrudsperiode
Like many high-fidelity loudspeakers, the Denton 85th Anniversary speakers benefit from a 'break-in' period. This typically involves 50-100 hours of normal listening. During this time, the drivers will loosen up, and the sound quality will improve, particularly in bass response and overall clarity.
Vedligeholdelse og pleje
- Rensning: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the cabinet surfaces. For stubborn marks, a slightly damp En klud kan bruges, men undgå for meget fugt. Brug ikke slibende rengøringsmidler eller opløsningsmidler.
- Gitre: Højttalergitterne kan fjernes for rengøring eller for at give dem et anderledes udseende. Håndter dem forsigtigt for at undgå skader.
- Miljø: Avoid placing speakers in direct sunlight, near heat sources, or in areas with high humidity. Extreme temperature fluctuations can also affect performance and longevity.
- Støv: Regularly dust the drivers and cabinet to prevent buildup, which can affect sound quality and appearance.
