User manual B&W DS8S

[. . . ] At B&W, we have always followed John Bowers' original philosophy of combining the art and science of acoustic design to create simply a better product, the objective always being to get the maximum amount of enjoyment and fulfilment from listening to music or watching movies. The original Nautilus 800 Series contained a raft of new technologies that propelled it to being probably the best selling high-end speaker range in the world. Since then, our team of research and development engineers have been striving to improve performance still further. bass cones throughout now feature a sandwich construction of carbon fibre skins bonded to a Rohacell foam core. [. . . ] The screw length should be chosen to give a minimum of 25mm (1 in) engaged thread. (figure 28) Ensure, especially when fixing to drywall panels, that the screw length and wall plug security are sufficient to hold the weight of the speaker. B&W can accept no liability for any failure of wall or ceiling fixings. the outside dimensions of the template correspond to the rear of the cabinet. Stick 4 of the clear self-adhesive rubber pads to the rear panel of each speaker, one close to each corner. These stop the speaker vibrating against the surface and help keep it in position. (figure 30) Adjust the protrusion of the screws such that the rubber pads are a friction slide on the surface when the wall plates are hooked over the screw heads. (figure 31) Always check and ensure that: · All the screws slide right to the ends of the slots in the wall plates. Screw protrusion is adjusted so that the rubber pads provide enough friction to prevent the speakers sliding out of position. The speaker is designed to be fixed to a wall and is supplied with a bracket that allows adjustment of both horizontal and vertical angles. (figure 29) The bracket should be fixed to the wall using screws in the range 5mm to 6mm diameter (No. The screw length should be chosen to give a minimum of 25mm (1 in) engaged thread. (figure 28) Hold the template provided against the wall in the desired position and use a spirit level to line it up properly. the outside dimensions of the template correspond to the rear of the cabinet. Note especially that the centre of the wall plate does not coincide with the centre line of the speaker. Ensure that the screw length and wall plug security are sufficient to hold the weight of the speaker. When fixing to drywall construction, try to arrange for the screws to go into a stud. B&W can accept no liability for any failure of wall or ceiling fixings. Part screw two of the supplied machine screws into the upper two threaded inserts in the back of the cabinet. Offer the speaker up to the speaker plate E, locating the two screw projecting from the back of the speaker into the slots at the top of the plate. Fit the remaining two machine screws through the plate E into the lower All models in the range except for the DS8S may be bi-wired or bi-amplified. Separation of the signal paths to each section of the speaker can improve imaging and the resolution of low-level detail, and allows the user to optimise the cable to the frequency range of use. [. . . ] Colour differences may be rectified by exposing all the veneer surfaces equally and evenly to sunlight until the colour is uniform. This process can take several days or even weeks, but may be accelerated by careful use of an ultra-violet lamp. 800D , 801D , 802D , HTM1D only To replace the midrange grille , locate the central peg in the hole at the tip of the plastic centre plug fitted to the drive unit. Push the centre of the grille firmly, but do not force a misaligned peg as damage may result. [. . . ]
