Safety notes

This chapter contains general safety
notes which you should always
observe to protect yourself and third
parties. Also observe the warning
notes in each chapter of this user
manual.

– Only use the accessory products

specified by the manufacturer.

– Never modify the device. Unauthor-

ised modifications may affect the
safety and functionality.

An unsuitable setup location may
result in injury and damage.

– If the speakers are not securely

mounted, do not use them in
vehicles, in unstable locations,
on wobbly tripods or furniture, on
underdimensioned brackets etc.
The speakers may tip or fall over
and cause injury to persons or be
damaged themselves.

– Place the speakers in such a way

that they cannot be knocked over
inadvertently and make sure that
the cables do not pose a tripping
hazard.

– Carefully follow the user manual.
– Make sure that the wall mounting

is done in a professional manner.

– In case of a wall mounting, verify

the carrying capacity of the walls
and make sure that there are no
cables or pipes in the drilling areas.

5 • REFLEKT

Before you drill, use a metal
detector to check the applicable
areas. Otherwise, there is a risk of
electric shock/short circuit!

– Do not place the speakers near

heat sources (e.g. heaters, ovens,
other heat generating equipment
such as amplifiers etc.).

An unstable base may cause the
unit to tip and injure or even kill
persons, children are particularly
at risk. You can prevent a large
number of accidents by taking the
following precautions:

– If you want to use underframes or

speaker stands, only use those
recommended by the manufac­turer.

– When storing the product, also

ensure that it stands safely and
that it cannot be knocked down or
over.

Children can become trapped in
the plastic wrapping when playing
and suffocate.

– Do not allow children to play with

the device or the plastic wrapping.
There is a danger of suffocation.

– Ensure that children do not remove

small parts from the device or take
them off of the device (e.g. control
knobs or plug adapters). They could
swallow the parts and choke.

– Never allow children to operate

electrical equipment unsupervised.

CAUTION

Extended listening
at high volumes may
lead to hearing loss.

– To avoid damage to health, avoid

extended listening at high volumes.

– When the volume is set high,

always keep a certain distance
from the device and never place
your ear directly on the speaker.

– If the AV receiver is set to full

volume, it may produce very high
sound pressure. This may have
psychic consequences and also
cause physical injury. Children and
pets are particularly at risk. Set
your signal source device volume
control to a low setting before
turning on the power.

CAUTION

This product contains
magnetic material.

– Keep magnetically sensi-
tive objects (e.g. credit cards etc.)
away from the speakers.

Dolby Atmos

Conventional Surround Sound
systems generate surround sound
in a horizontal direction. With Dolby
Atmos systems, sound is also
projected from above now: Ceiling
speakers add even more surround
sound.

With the REFLEKT speakers, you can
upgrade a 5.1 installation to Dolby
Atmos. This would convert the system
into a 5.1.2 or 5.1.4 system where
the last number generally indicates
the number of ceiling speakers. The
middle number is the number of the
subwoofers.

This requires a corresponding AV
receiver, which has a decoder and
separate speaker outputs for Dolby
Atmos.

The Reflekt speakers are simply
placed on the existing front and/or
rear speaker so that they emit the
sound diagonally to the ceiling. The
sound waves are then reflected to the
listener. That’s why sound-reflecting
ceiling material is required – this can
be plasterboard or chipboard.

Satellite speakers

You can also use the REFLEKT
speakers as normal satellites (e.g. as
a 2.1 or a 5.1 system). The toggle (4)
on the back of the speakers serves
this purpose:

• A special frequency response is
required for Dolby Atmos mode
(“REFLECT MODE”).

• For satellite mode, set the switch to
“DIRECT MODE” where the speaker
has a linear frequency response.

Preparation

Mounting plate

You can install the mounting plate (2)
in two positions so that can set up
the REFLEKT speaker in an upright
position or on its side.

• To set up the speakers on existing
speakers, the bottom of the
mounting plates is fitted with a
non-slip rubber layer.

• The keyhole openings (5) in the
mounting plate are intended for
wall mounting.

1. Place the mounting plate in the
desired direction on the back of the
REFLEKT speaker.

2. Use two screws (3) to firmly
screw the mounting plate into the
threaded holes (6) on the speaker.

Setup/Mounting

Location tips

• Select a stable, level base. In
case of wall mounting, follow the
instructions in the next chapter.

• Make sure that the environment is
clean and free from dust.

• Select a location away from heat
sources and direct sunlight.

• Do not place any heavy objects on
the cables or the device.

Setup

Set up the REFLEKT speakers in an
upright or lateral position onto the
existing speaker boxes. The REFLEKT
speakers should be in a diagonal
position pointing up to the ceiling.

Wall mounting

Proceed with care when mounting
the product on the wall and follow the
instructions below.

You will need the following material
to mount the product on a solid stone
wall (not included in the package
contents):

• 2 dowels (ø 5 mm)

• 2 screws, 4 x 45 mm, screw head =
ø approx. 8 mm

CAUTION

Risk of injury/damage!

– Only qualified persons

may mount the REFLEKT
speakers on the wall.

– They may only be mounted

on a suitable, solid wall.
Special dowels or anchors
may be necessary when
mounting the product on
lightweight walls. Consult a
qualified professional in this
case.

– Make sure that there are no

cables or pipes in the drilling
areas. Before you drill, use a
metal detector to check the
applicable areas.

11 • REFLEKT

1. Space the two keyhole openings (5)
in the wall where you would like to
mount the REFLEKT speaker. Use a
ruler, pencil and spirit level for this.

2. Use a metal detector to check the
drill areas. If necessary, select
another area for mounting.

3. Use a 5 mm rock drill to drill holes,
which are approx. 40 mm deep, at
the marked positions.

4. Insert 2 dowels (ø 5 mm) all the
way in the drill holes.

5. Screw one screw (4x45 mm) into
each dowel until there is approx.5
mm of space between the wall and
the screw head.

6. Press the REFLEKT speaker up
against the wall so that the screws
fit into the keyhole openings

7. Now pull the REFLEKT speaker
down so that the screws slip into
the small slot.

8. If applicable, screw the screws
further in or out until the REFLEKT
speaker is securely mounted on
the wall.

Connecting

CAUTION

Risk of injury/damage!

– Lay the cables so that

they do not pose a tripping
hazard.

1. Lay speaker cables from your AV
receiver to each REFLEKT speaker.
If possible, use high-quality dual
core speaker cables with a diam­eter of at least 1 mm2 to do so.

2. On the back of each speaker there is
a connection terminal with two pole
clamps
speaker cable directly here or using
pin plugs. Direct connection only is
described here. The terminals are
marked in red (+) and black (-).

(7). You can connect the

(7)

NOTICE

Make sure the polarity is
correct!

– Connect each of the like

coloured terminals with
one another; otherwise the
sound quality will suffer. To
facilitate this, the individual
single wires of the speaker
cables are marked with
different colours or shapes.

3. Split the wire down
by approx. 30 mm
on both ends and
remove approx.
10mm of insulation each.
Twist the single wire so that no
strands are protruding.

4. Turn the connector terminal coun­terclockwise until loose. Run the
stripped cable end into the now
visible hole. Close the terminal by
turning it counter-clockwise. The
cable has now been clamped in
place.

5. Connect the other end of the
speaker cable to the clamps of
your AV receiver.

Care And Cleaning

NOTICE

External influences may
damage or destroy the
device.

– If possible, only use plain

water without any additives.
In case of stubborn marks,
a mild soap solution may be
used.

– Do not use caustic cleaning

products, white spirit, thin­ners, petrol or similar under
any circumstances. Such
cleaning agents may damage
the delicate surface of the
housing.

• Ideally, you should remove dust or
small amounts of dirt with a dry,
smooth leather cloth.
