Before Use
Avoid damage to the speakers and other components:
• Unbox the speakers carefully to avoid physically damaging your speakers.
• Use appropriate gauge wires (minimum of 16 gauge wire for runs up to 25 feet).
• Make sure wire polarity is connected correctly. Most speaker cables are coded for ease of use. Make
sure positive (red) connection on the amplifier terminal is connected to the positive (red) on your
speakers.
ollow the same instructions for the negative side.
F
Strip o approximately ⁄” of the insulation from the ends of the
speaker cable, twist the bare strands and insert into the binding
post.
• Ensure your equipment is turned o before connecting
speakers.
• Check to ensure positive and negative wires are not
touching each other once they’re connected to the
speaker terminals.

Care and Cleaning
The only thing you should ever need to do to your speakers is dust them occasionally. Never apply any abrasive
or solvent-based cleaner or any harsh detergent.
You can clean the grilles with the brush attachment of a vacuum cleaner.

Achieve maximum performance and optimal sound quality from your ELAC Debut 3.0 speakers with proper
speaker placement and set-up.
While not all rooms are the same, use the following guidelines to configure the speakers for your particular
room. There are no “exact” rules or boundaries in setting up your speakers but the following suggestions will
help optimize your desired results. Remember the best sound set-up is what sounds best for you so don’t be
afraid to experiment and make adjustments to the placement and directivity of the speakers.
Walls
1’ - 2’ Feet
FIG. 1
Place the speakers approximately one to two feet away (FIG. 1) from boundaries such as walls and especially
corners. Close proximity to a side or rear wall will enhance bass performance (output), but being too close
(particularly to a corner) may result in bass that is unnatural. If a corner location is unavoidable, try to position the
loudspeaker so that the distance to the rear wall is not equal to the distance to the side wall.

• For the best results and the most realistic stereo image and lifelike sound, place the speakers so that an
equilateral triangle (fig. 2) is created between the speakers and your favorite listening position. This set
up creates the optimum imaging performance.
• If you find that your B5.3/B6.3 or F5.3/F6.3 left and right speakers are too far apart, angle (toe in) them
towards the listening position to gain a more focused central image.

Whether you use the B5.3/B6.3 bookshelf or the F5.3/F6.3 floorstanding speakers for a 5.1-channel surround
set-up, avoid placing the surround speakers forward of your listening position. The surround speakers should be
spread apart wider than the front speakers. In addition, elevate the speakers to the same height or slightly higher
as the front speakers for the most enveloping sound field. Like the front speakers, you may need to experiment
with the positioning by pointing the rear surround speakers towards the listening area.

The ELAC C5.3/C6.3 center channel is designed to produce dialog sounds and should be positioned above or
below (fig. 3) your television. Align it with the center of the television. As much as possible, try to keep the C5.3/
C6.3 close to the same level (height) as your front speakers for a more even sound stage. Keeping the same
height for the center channel can be very challenging so it might be necessary to tilt the center speaker up (if too
low) or down (if too high), to aim it towards the listening area.
Place Above
or Below
Television
Optimal results for the center are obtained by setting the receiver/processor center channel size to small. If you
have a choice, set the crossover frequency to 80Hz.

1. General information
• Please read and follow these safety instructions.
• Keep them safe for future reference.
• Observe all warnings on the speaker and in the manual. Please check the speaker for damage before use.
The speaker must be in perfect working condition. Damaged parts may lead to personal injury.
2. Use only as directed
• Connect the speaker(s) according to the instructions in the manual.
• Many ELAC speakers are equipped with spikes and/or anti-slip feet. They are explicitly provided for
leveling the speaker. For leveling on an uneven floor, unscrew the spikes or anti-slip feet by 2-3 turns of
thread. The speaker should always be in perfect vertical alignment: the stability of the speaker must not be
compromised by using spikes or anti-slip feet as the speaker may tip-over.
3. Location
• Install the speakers on a level surface only.
• When choosing the location of these speakers do not place them in locations that are:
• In direct sunlight
• Very humid
• Prone to vibrations
• Exceptionally hot or cold
• Near CRT Televisions (the speakers are not magnetically shielded and may cause color issues with
a CRT based TV).sa
• Close to magnetic cards (Since the speakers are not magnetically shielded placing magnetic cards
such as credit cards or commuter cards may cause them to fail).
4. Overload
Please ensure the product is perfectly stable to avoid injury from tip-over. Please note, that stability can
be increased by using spikes on carpeted surfaces. However, the mounting of spikes must be carried
out carefully due to their very sharp ends which may cause injuries. The stability on slippery floors can be
increased by using Velcro fastening tape or double-sided adhesive tape. Do not install the speaker near
any heat sources such as radiators, heating valves, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that
produce heat, or in areas where there is a risk of explosion.
• Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Do not install the speaker in a closed rack or in a closed cupboard.
• Do not put burning candles on or near the speaker.
• Do not install the speaker near transformers because electromagnetic stray fields can cause hum noise on
woofers.
• In combination with certain materials / lacquers / material surfaces, anti-slip feet or spike washers may
cause colored imprints on the surfaces.

5. Overload
Extreme overload of the device due to very high volume may cause individual components to blow.
Because of the possible danger, you should never leave loudspeakers under extreme overload conditions
unattended.
6. Service
DANGER! Do not open the cabinet because the components and conductors may carry dangerous levels
of electricity! Servicing to be carried out by qualified service personnel only.
Servicing is required when the loudspeaker has been damaged in any way, such as damage to the power
supply cord or the plug, or when liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the loudspeaker, the
speaker has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped. To
reduce the risk of electric shock, do not open the loudspeaker. Servicing to be carried out by qualified
service personnel only .
7. Fuse links
Various faults in subwoofers or active speakers may cause the fuse to blow. If the fuse blows, only replace
it with the correct fuse type and rating as shown on the rear of the loudspeaker on the fuse holder. A
second fuse is included with the device (in the fuse holder beneath the mains socket).
8. Cleaning
NOTE: Clean only with soft, smooth cloth or with dust brush. Do not use scouring agents, alcohol,
benzene, furniture polish or other agents for cleaning! Modern furniture is often coated with multiple
varnishes and plastics which can be treated with chemical agents. Some of these agents contain
substances which degrade or soften the rubber feet. Therefore, we advise you to place an anti-slip mat
underneath the loudspeaker.
9. Volume
CAUTION! Continuous high volume may cause severe damage to your hearing. Please listen responsibly.
10. Disposal
The packaging is made from recyclable materials. Dispose of this in an environmentally friendly manner.
At end of product life do not dispose of the speaker(s) with standard household waste. The speaker must
be recycled in accordance with local legislation. Ask your local government for further information on
recycling as the device contains valuable raw materials. Disable the speaker before disposal.
11. Power
This subwoofer is only intended to be connected to voltages that are listed on the rear panel of the
cabinet. Connection to any other voltage may cause irreversible damage to the subwoofer and will void
the warranty. Use of plug adapters is not recommended because they may allow connection to voltages
other than those printed on the back of this subwoofer.
