User manual BOSTON ACOUSTICS VSI 555W2

[. . . ] The aluminum cup is specially sculpted to eliminate diffraction when the tweeter is pivoted. All VSi models include a boundary compensation switch that allows the installer to shape the sound of each speaker to counteract the effect of being installed too close to a listening area's corner, or too far away for that matter. The VSi speakers are constructed of rugged materials--making them ideal for installations in kitchens or bathrooms. [. . . ] ) Taking steps to increase the rigidity of the mounting surface by using additional drywall screws, and/or the use of a construction adhesive between the drywall and studs adjacent to the speaker location, will further enhance performance. If you are using your VSi loudspeakers with a surround sound processor and subwoofer, set the bass management control as follows: · If the VSi loudspeakers are installed in a damp location (kitchen, bathroom), they should be positioned so that moisture cannot collect inside them. The VSi speakers are NOT for use in locations where they will be submerged. For new construction installations, we offer new construction brackets. Each speaker has a knockout molded into the speaker baffle that will accommodate standard 1/2-inch diameter infrared (IR) sensors. Use a #2 Phillips screwdriver and hammer to punch out the knockout from behind. If you are bi-wiring or bi-amplifying your VSi 5835 loudspeakers you must move the jumper on the crossover from the "NORMAL" terminal to the "BIAMP"terminal or you risk damaging your speakers and your amplifier. If the VSi 5835 is installed horizontally, the tweeter/midrange sub-baffle should be rotated so the tweeter and midrange drivers remain vertical. If the speaker is mounted far off-axis, the sub-baffle can be angled toward the prime listening position. Rotate the sub-baffle so the tweeter is oriented above the midrange driver, and slide the baffle back into place. The response of a speaker changes when it is mounted close to the boundary junctions of a room (near an adjacent wall or ceiling or close to the corners of the room). Your Boston VSi loudspeakers have been carefully voiced to compensate for these boundary effects. The speaker is mounted less than 18-inches (46cm) from the junction of two surfaces (wall/wall, wall/ceiling or wall/floor). The speaker is mounted less than 24-inches (61cm) from the junction of three surfaces (a room corner). Always turn off the amplifier or receiver when connecting speakers or any other components to the system. This manual assumes the installer possesses skill in the proper use of hand and power tools, knowledge of local building and fire codes, and a familiarity with the environment behind the wall or ceiling in which the speakers will be installed. A utility knife, jig saw or other tool for cutting the required hole in the mounting surface. Insert a long, bent piece of wire and rotate to confirm that there are no obstructions behind the chosen location.
