Check construction plans of your room to make sure that you are not drilling into a pipe, an electrical cable or any other specialised installations behind the wall. Fixing The loudspeaker is firmly fixed into the wall using a system of clamps. To achieve this, place the speaker into the cut-out and tighten the fixing screws in a clockwise direction using the hexagonal key (fig. Wall Boost Control Your loudspeakers use an exclusive filtering process known as OPC (Optimum Phase Crossover) guaranteeing a perfect stereo image and outstanding sound definition. Additionally, in order to reduce the "wall effect" inherent to any built in speaker, we have developed a wall boost equalization circuit which corrects this phenomenon and makes it easier to position your speakers to suit your preferences (fig. Speakers placement The Electra loudspeakers have been engineered to deliver the most faithful sound reprodution, whether they are used for music or home cinema. In order to enhance their performance, to guarantee a high quality of listening, sound image and tone balance, it is important to note the following basic rules. The listening area must be located at the summit of an equilateral triangle whose two other points of insertion are determined by the position of each speaker. Nevertheless it is possible to modify these distances to find an ideal compromise according to the particular disposition of the room (fig. Each loudspeaker must be placed at the same height and on the same floor plan. The tweeter should be at the same height as the listener's ear, when the listener is in his usual listening area (fig. Medium / tweeter adjustment To carry out adjustments, use the switch level located on the front baffle of the speaker as follows (fig. we advise that you paint the grille and the housing of the speaker separately. For the frame: remove the grille and place the paint mask in position to protect the drivers. For the grille: if necessary remove the driver mask from the grille before painting. Precautions As the loudspeaker's covering materials are strong, scratch-and stain-resistant, maintenance is easy and consists only in cleaning the covering with a dry cloth. If the enclosure is stained, we simply recommend the use of a damp cloth. Never use any solvents, detergents, alcohol or corrosive products, scrappers or scouring powder to clean the surface of the loudspeaker.
