FAQs
What is the primary advantage of the Inverted Driver Geometry (IDG)?
The IDG system positions the tweeter below the woofer to equalize the path lengths of sound waves, resulting in improved time alignment and a more cohesive soundstage.
What material is the bass driver cone made from?
The bass driver cone is made from acrylic fiber, which provides natural mid-frequencies and exceptional clarity.
Can these speakers be used as main speakers without a subwoofer?
Yes, for smaller to medium-sized rooms, they can provide a full-range sound. However, for enhanced deep bass, a subwoofer is recommended.
What are the recommended amplifier power requirements?
A minimum amplifier power of 20 watts per channel is recommended, with a maximum of 150 watts per channel.
How should I position the speakers for the best sound?
Place them on stands or shelves at ear level, about 0.5 meters away from walls, and experiment with toe-in towards the listening position.
What are the physical dimensions of each speaker?
The product dimensions are 320mm (height) x 220mm (width) x 310mm (depth).
What is the weight of each speaker?
Each speaker weighs 8.5kg.
Troubleshooting
No sound from one or both speakers
Check speaker cable connections at both the speaker and amplifier terminals. Ensure correct polarity (+/-) is maintained. Verify amplifier settings and source input.
Distorted or muffled sound
Ensure speaker cables are securely connected and not frayed. Check that the amplifier is not overdriven (volume too high). Clean any obstructions from the bass port.
Lack of bass or weak low frequencies
Reposition the speakers further from the wall, or experiment with toe-in. Ensure the amplifier is not set to a 'small speaker' setting if using a subwoofer. Consider adding a subwoofer for enhanced bass.
Harsh or sibilant treble
Adjust speaker toe-in to reduce direct treble to the listening position. Ensure source material is not the cause. Check amplifier treble controls if applicable.
