3. Setup
3.1 Unpacking
Carefully remove the speakers from their packaging. Retain the original packaging for future transport or storage.
3.2 Placement
- Place the speakers on a stable, flat surface such as a bookshelf, desk, or dedicated speaker stands.
- Ensure adequate space around the speakers for proper bass-reflex operation and heat dissipation.
- For optimal stereo imaging, position the speakers equidistant from the listening position and form an equilateral triangle.
- Avoid placing speakers directly against walls or in corners, as this can affect bass response.
3.3 Connecting to an Amplifier
The Prestige Facet 6B speakers are designed to be connected to an amplifier with a rated power of 70 W or less per channel.
- Ensure your amplifier is turned off and unplugged from the power outlet.
- Use high-quality speaker cables. Strip approximately 10-15 mm of insulation from the ends of the speaker wires.
- Connect the positive (+) terminal (red) on the speaker to the positive (+) terminal on your amplifier.
- Connect the negative (-) terminal (black) on the speaker to the negative (-) terminal on your amplifier.
- Repeat for the second speaker, ensuring correct polarity for both. Incorrect polarity can lead to poor sound quality.
4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Initial Power On
Once all connections are secure, plug in your amplifier and turn it on. Start with the volume at its lowest setting and gradually increase it to a comfortable listening level.
4.2 Break-in Period
Like many high-fidelity speakers, the Elipson Prestige Facet 6B may benefit from a break-in period. Allow approximately 20-50 hours of normal use for the drivers to fully loosen and achieve their optimal sound characteristics.
4.3 Bluetooth Connectivity (if applicable)
While the primary connection is wired, some amplifiers or source devices may offer Bluetooth connectivity. Refer to your amplifier's manual for instructions on pairing Bluetooth devices. The speakers themselves do not have integrated Bluetooth; this refers to the source connection.
5. Maintenance
5.1 Cleaning
- Dust the speaker cabinets regularly with a soft, dry cloth.
- For stubborn marks, slightly dampen the cloth with water (do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners).
- Avoid touching the speaker cones (drivers) directly, as this can cause damage.
5.2 General Care
- Keep speakers away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and excessive moisture.
- Do not place heavy objects on top of the speakers.
- Ensure proper ventilation around the speakers and amplifier.
