User manual Q-ACOUSTICS 1000I

[. . . ] This symbol indicates that there are important operating and maintenance instructions in the literature accompanying this unit. This symbol indicates that dangerous voltage constituting a risk of electric shock is present within this unit. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding type plug. [. . . ] An optional bracket designed specifically to wall mount the Q Acoustics 1010i, 1020i and 1000Ci is available from your dealer. Be prepared to experiment to find the best setup for your taste in your particular listening room. If you are using a regular TV set, make sure that the TV is capable of adequately supporting the speaker and has a level top. If not, consider placing the TV on a cabinet with the 1000Ci on a secure shelf immediately below the TV. If you have a Plasma or LCD monitor, mount the 1000Ci to the wall or other suitable surface immediate ly above or below the screen. Surround Speakers 400mm There are recommendations from Dolby labs for 5. The 1010i and 1020i are ideally mounted on Q-Acoustics floor stands or wall mounted. If you are stand mounting, a simple guide is that the treble unit should be at ear level to a seated listener. Wall mounted speakers may be mounted slighter higher with the speaker angled down. Stand mounted speakers should be treated as floorstanding speakers except that the speaker may be placed a little closer to the back wall. Surround speakers should be mounted on either side of the listener, slightly behind the listening position. The speakers should be sited facing inward either mounted on the side walls of the room or if the room is large, on high stands and with their centres above ear level to a seated listener. Specialist loudspeaker cables will offer a higher standard of reproduction than general purpose `bell' or `zip' wire. Use cable with generous amounts of copper for the front and centre channels. The cables connecting the amplifier to the front loudspeakers should ideally be the same length. Bare the wire to a depth of 10mm and twist the ends to gather any stray wires. Make sure there are no stray wires which could touch adjacent terminals. In the EU it is against safety regulations to use 4mm loudspeaker plugs. The upper pair of terminals connects to the treble (HF) speaker and the lower pair to the bass (LF) speaker/s. As supplied the crossovers are fitted with removable links to connect the terminal pairs. This permits you to connect the loudspeaker conventionally using one pair of cables or in bi-wired mode with two pairs. Standard Connections Each loudspeaker is provided with a cable guide so you can dress the cables neatly. [. . . ] Never run line level signal cables parallel to power cables especially on long runs. If the subwoofer is triggered on by appliances switching on and off, re-route the input signal cable before taking further measures. If this is not possible, consult your processor manual for guidance on adjusting relative centre/front delay times. We recommend you choose 'Small' for the 1000Ci and the 1010i and 1020i wherever they are used in the system. [. . . ]
