INFORMATIONS & OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
MUST BE CONSULTED BEFORE USE.
TO BE KEPT AND PASSED ON IN THE EVENT OF RESALE.
Thank you for choosing Waterfall Audio speakers. Our deliberate choice
for aesthetics and performance constantly guides us towards
cutting-edge technologies and design combined with major
innovations.
• The Elora Evo loudspeaker is available in a Center (horizontal) or LR
(vertical) version. Each speaker is supplied with its own wall bracket.
• If the speakers are to be placed high up, they will need to be
oriented towards the listening area. The rear of the Elora Evo has a
VESA75 footprint, making it compatible with various mounts that
allow this function (please consult us for recommendations). The
speakers can also be placed on a flat surface using a special stand
(optional).
The Elora Evo is designed to work in perfect symbiosis with all Waterfall
Audio loudspeakers, and is strongly recommended for use with a
Waterfall Audio subwoofer.
Warning: The speaker in your possession is fitted with glass
panels. Any impact could cause irreparable damage. This
product is fragile, so please bear this in mind when unpacking,
installing and using it. It is recommended that you are assisted by
a second person, particularly during the final wiring and wall
mounting phase.

ACOUSTIC SET UP AND CONFIGURATION
Despite its compact size, the Elora Evo can handle a lot of power thanks
to its 'Heatstream' technology. Your choice of amplifier should be a
quality model with between 50 Watts and 200 Watts per channel.
We strongly recommend that you combine the Elora Evo with a
Waterfall subwoofer, which has been specifically developed to ensure
perfect timbre coherence.
The Elora Evo can be used in a 2.1 stereo configuration with a
conventional amplifier or in a 5.1 (and higher) home cinema
configuration.
Whether in stereo installations or in multi-channel mode, the subwoofer
should be as close as possible to the front channels to obtain the best
possible blending. The final listening result depends on the quality of the
settings during the initial installation.
Don't hesitate to ask your authorized dealer for advice when setting up
your installation.
CONNECTION TO YOUR AMPLIFIER
The Elora Evo is connected directly to the speaker outputs of your
amplifier or audio video processor.
Make sure that the + and - polarity are correct.
Never connect two speakers in parallel (or in series) on the same
channel. Never connect your speakers to the mains
The "Waterfall Audio" cable is made from very high quality
deoxygenated copper that is particularly well suited to your speakers. It
is available from your dealer.

Page 16
SET UP & CONFIGURATION IN HOME CINEMA MODE
Your A/V processor has a "Sub Pre Out" output, connect it via the
modulation cable (not supplied) to one of the two "Low level Input"
inputs on your subwoofer (either L or R). If it has an XLR output, connect
it via an XLR cable (not supplied) to the XLR input on your subwoofer.
Hi Level Inputs must not be used. Input switching is automatic.
Do not connect the 2 inputs (XLR and Low Level Input) at the same time.
Setting up your Audio Video processor
• Configure all speakers in "small" mode
• Choose 120Hz as the crossover frequency
• Adjust levels and distances
In the case of "auto set up" configurations with microphones, check the
consistency of the settings afterwards.
- 15 -
Page 17
SET UP OF YOUR WATERFALL SUBWOOFER
• Switch "24-12-LFE" to the LFE position (note: on LFE the FREQ button
is inactive, the crossover frequency is generated by the processor).
• Adjust the volume ("LEVEL") as required
• PHASE: depending on the processor's bass management settings
and certain distance parameters, phase inversion (180°) may be
necessary.
A good phase connection will give a dense, homogenous sound
reproduction. A poor phase match is characterised by a lack of energy in
the lower midrange and an overly present high midrange.

HIFI SET-UP AND CONFIGURATION
(amp with PRE-OUT outputs)
Connect the PRE OUT outputs of your stereo amplifier to the two "Low
Level Input" inputs of the subwoofer amplifier.
Do not use the Hi Level Inputs.
Connect the speakers, making sure that the polarity is correct.
Never connect two speakers in parallel on the same channel.
