Instruction manual
Thank you for purchasing Eltax loud-
speakers. You have just purchased one
of the best domestic hifi loudspeakers
available and we hope you will enjoy
the music they reproduce for many years
to come. The following notes are desig-
ned to assist you in obtaining a greater
degree of musical satisfaction from your
Eltax loudspeakers. Before connecting
your loudspeakers, we suggest that you
read this leaflets carefully.
Amplifier capacity - power handling
Your Eltax loudspeaker system will ope-
rate satisfactorily with any good amplifier
designed for use with an 4-8 Ohm impe-
dance load. Although Eltax loudspeakers
are designed to handle high power loa-
dings, you must remember that any lou-
dspeaker that is abused with excessive
use of volume, tone controls and graphic
equalisers is likely to cause damage to
the drive-units. Be careful especially with
small amplifiers constantly driven on high
power levels as these may be liable to go
into „clipping mode" and distort the signal
causing possible damage. If you hear a
distorted signal through the loudspeakers
you must reduce the power level.
Connecting to your amplifier
Some of the Eltax loudspeakers are sup-
plied with cables, however we strongly
recommend the use of high quality multi
strand speaker cables, colour coded or
grooved cables are recommended to
assist checking polarity, your local dealer
should be able to advise you on this
point. Always switch OFF your amplifier
before making any connections or adjust-
ments to the system. Wire the right-hand
channel cable so that the positive (RED)
terminal of your loudspeaker is con-
nected to the positive (RED) on your
amplifier, and the negative (BLACK) ter-
minal of your loudspeaker is connected
to the negative (BLACK) terminal on your
amplifier. Repeat the instructions for the
left-hand channel. Do NOT connect more
than one loudspeaker to one terminal on
your amplifier.
Phasing
Providing that you have followed the
connecting instruction correctly the loud-
speakers should be in phase and provide
solid stereo images. If however, you have
any doubt as to the phasing of the loud-
speakers, try reversing the connections
(RED & BLACK) to ONE of the loud-
speakers, and play a recording which has
plenty of deep bass operating both loud-
speakers simultaneously with the stereo
amplifier switched to „mono". The correct
polarity is indicated by firm full bass,
when incorrect, the bass will be notice-
ably much weaker.
Loudspeaker positioning
Ideally the Eltax loudspeakers should be
positioned at least 50 cm from a rear
wall, 1 meter from a side wall and at least
2 metres apart. The space between the
two loudspeakers and the distance form
the listeners are important. If loudspea-
kers are placed too close together or
too far apart, stereo images will not be
fully developed. In average living rooms,
speaker spacing between 2 and 4 metres
will usually produce satisfactory results.
The listeners distance from the loud-
speakers should be at least equal to and
preferably greater than the distance bet-
ween the loudspeakers. Tests should be
made with both speech and music before
deciding upon final locations.
Service
No routine attention is required to the
working parts of the loudspeakers and
being very reliable Eltax loudspeakers
rarely require service. Any service pro-
blems should in the first instance be
referred to your dealer.
