Assembly/
Only for Serendipity and Sovran models.
Place the 4 supplied dampers into the slot on the lower part of the
speaker and carefully place the top until full contact of the two parts.

Connection cable/
The best connection is obtained by using short lengths of board
cables. The cables should always be the bipolar-multithread type (in
no case should rigid single thread cable be used), preferably board,
such as the cables for hi-fi connections normally available in the
specialized shops. For those who wish to use ordinary electric wire, it
is advisable to keep to the following minimum requisites:
Distance
Amplifier/Speaker
Up to 5 meters
From 5 to 10 meters
Over 10 meters
Minimum Cable
Cross Section
0,75 sq. mm
1.00 sq. mm
2.00 sq. mm

Electrical
connection/
All connections should be made with the audio equipment
switched off.
The amplifier terminals are marked: red for the positive pole and
black for the negative. The input terminals of Chario speakers are
clearly marked with the indications + for the positive and – for the
negative inputs.
While connecting the amplifier to the speakers great care should be
taken not to confuse the polarities.

Electrical
connection/
For Serendipity and Sovran models use the supplied cable to connect
the low to the high part.
All models can be connected in bi-wiring or bi-amping, in Sonnet
model it is enabled simply by removing the two jumpers.
N.B.
Inversion of the polarities will NOT damage the
speakers in any way. The quality of the sound will,
however, be impaired (with a considerable loss of the
power), and therefore the stereo image will be altered
with a difficult location of the sources.

It is possible to use more powerful amplifiers than those suggested:
in this case, however it is necessary to be careful when regulating the
volume in order to avoid the speakers damage by sending them a too
powerful signal.
It is also advisable, if using a low powered amplifier, not to keep the
volume switch at the maximum level (especially if the tone controls
are changed) on order to avoid serious damage to the tweeters.
Generally, the recommended power amplifier has to be directly
proportional to the size of the listening room. It should have a
minimum electrical power of 1W each cubic meter. The power amplifier
is suitable for an impedance of 4 ohm.
For connections between source and amplifier, refer to the manuals
supplied with the devices.

The environment have a fundamental importance to determinate the
quality of listening. The shape of the room , ornaments, furniture,
upholstery, curtaining, carpets, glasses and anything else do
determine the sonic performance of your living room.
The room should therefore be optimized by moving the furniture and
"calibrating” the reflecting and absorbing surfaces, in order to obtain
as much “acoustic neutrality” as possible.
To increase the performance of the room please contact acoustic
specialists for home entertainment.
