User manual B&W FPM2

[. . . ] Front (figure 3) left and right The angle between the speakers should normally be less than for 2-channel audio ­ nearer 40º than 60º. If using a screen, it may be desirable to place the speakers closer to the screen for aesthetic reasons, but be aware that the apparent size of the acoustic image is related to the left and right speaker spacing and ideally you should try to balance this with the picture. When used with a screen, the mounting height of the speakers should be matched to the screen. In an audio-only installation, set the height so the tweeters at the centre of the speaker are approximately at ear level. [. . . ] If the central image is poor, try moving the speakers closer together or, if they are not fixed to the wall using the supplied wall plate, toeing them in so they point at or just in front of the listeners (figure 2). Should service be required, please follow the following procedure: 1 If the equipment is being used in the country of purchase, you should contact the B&W authorised dealer from whom the equipment was purchased. If the equipment is being used outside the country of purchase, you should contact the B&W national distributor in the country of residence who will All connections should be made with the equipment switched off. Always screw the terminal caps down tightly to optimise the connection and prevent rattles. Keep the total impedance below the maximum recommended in the specification and use a low inductance cable to avoid attenuation of the highest frequencies. 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. on a shelf or table (FPM2 only) A rear support leg is provided to enable the speaker to stand upright on a flat surface. With the strengthening rib pointing away from the enclosure, attach the leg to the two threaded inserts in the back of the speaker, using the screws provided. (figure 10) To the optional table stand or floor stand Mounting instructions are provided with the stands. the table stand allows the speaker to be mounted in either vertical or horizontal orientation. The FPM2 is not suitable for fixing to either the table stand or the floor stand. If the sound is too harsh, increase the amount of soft furnishing in the room (for example use heavier curtains), or reduce it if the sound is dull and lifeless. Test for flutter echoes by clapping your hands and listening for rapid repetitions. Reduce them by the use of irregular shaped surfaces such as bookshelves and large pieces of furniture. To the wall Use the wall plate supplied if you do not need to angle the speaker. (figure 8) At each end of the terminal tray at the back of the speaker is a dovetail feature that slides into the wall plate. Use the template provided to mark the position of the fixing screws for the wall plate. The overall height and width of the template correspond to the size of the speaker and both the vertical and horizontal centre lines are marked. This allows you to align the speakers with the television screen and any other objects. Pierce through the screw position marks in the template to leave an indent in the wall. Hold the wall plate against the wall, aligned with the screw marks and trace round the inside of the oval hole, which is used for cable entry. [. . . ] With the grille detached from the cabinet, clean the fabric with a normal clothes brush or vacuum cleaner with appropriate accessory. Avoid touching the drive units, especially the tweeter, as damage may result. Suivez les instructions fournies avec le support et fixez la plaque de montage du support à l'arrière de l'enceinte en utilisant les deux vis M6 fournies avec cette dernière (figure 9) Assurez-vous, spécialement sur les cloisons creuses, que la longueur des vis et la cheville utilisées soient suffisantes pour soutenir le poids de l'enceinte. Use the template provided to mark the position of the fixing screws for the wall plate. [. . . ]
