Introduction
Thank you for choosing Scansonic loudspeakers, we hope they
will bring you many years of enjoyment.
Please read this manual fully before unpacking and installing
the product.
Carton contents
We have during production and packing carefully checked and
inspected these loudspeakers.
After unpacking please check for any damage from transport.
We recommend that you keep the original cartonbox and
packing material for any future shipping.
Loudspeaker positioning
Variations in placement of your loudspeakers can produce
dramatic differences in the way music sounds. No listening
rooms are the same and therefore we encourage you to spend
some time experimenting with which placements work best in
your listening room. Trust your ears and be willing to experiment
freely. You can start with our basic recommendations.
Please try to ensure that the rooms surroundings of each
loudspeaker left and right are similar in acoustic character. For
example, if one loudspeaker is placed close to bare walls while
the other is placed close to soft furnitures and curtains, both
the overall sound quality and the stereo image are likely to be
compromised.
To begin with, the speakers should be positioned between
1.5m and 3m apart at two corners of an equilateral triangle
completed by the listening area at the third corner. See fig. 1
The loudspeakers should ideally be at least 0,5 metre away
from any back or side walls.
Home Theatre Systems
Scansonic S9 can be used as front channels in a surround
sound home theatre system.
Positioning the front loudspeakers within approximately 1metre
of the sides of your TV will create the best sound image in scale
with the visual image.
If Scansonic S9 are to be used for reproducing the surround
channels in a multi channel home theatre system, we suggest
you place them as illustrated in Figures 2 to 4 depending on the
number of channels.
Magnetic interference
Scansonic S9 tweeter and woofer drive units are magnetically
shielded ensuring that the magnetic field outside the cabinet,
except the front, is too low to cause distortion of the TV picture,
and you can place the loudspeakers as close to the TV screen
as possible without causing visual interference or electromagnetic interference with the TV.
Because of the higher magnetic field in front of the
loudspeakers, all magnetically sensitive articles (audio and
video tapes, computer discs etc) should be kept at least 0,3
metre away from the front of the loudspeaker.
Connecting your loudspeakers
We recommend that you read the manual of your amplifier or
av-receiver carefully before connecting your loudspeakers.
Please switch off all equipment when connecting your
loudspeakers.
The binding posts on the biwiring terminal accepts wire up to Ø
4mm or cables with bananaplugs.
There are two bridged pairs of terminals on the back of the
loudspeaker. For the basic and simple connection the terminal
bridges should remain in place (as delivered from Scansonic)
and just one pair of terminals connected to the amplifier. See
fig. 5.
Bi-wiring can enhance the sound performance of your system
and loudspeakers and for bi-wire connection the terminal
bridges should be removed and each pair of terminals
connected to the amplifier as shown in fig. 6.
Make sure that positive terminal binding posts on the speaker
(marked + and coloured red) are connected to the positive
output terminal binding posts on the amplifier and that the
negative terminals on the speaker (marked – and coloured
black) are connected to the negative output terminal on the
amplifier.
You are now ready to enjoy your Scansonic S9 loudspeakers...!
