1. ການຫຸ້ມຫໍ່

Carefully remove the speaker from its packaging. Retain all packaging materials for future transport or storage.

2. Attaching Stabilizer Feet

The D17 speakers are designed to be floor-standing. Attach the included stabilizer feet to the base of the speaker. Use spikes for carpeted floors to penetrate the carpet and couple the speaker to the subfloor, or use glides for hard surfaces to protect the floor and provide stability.

3. ການຈັດວາງລຳໂພງ

Optimal speaker placement is crucial for sound quality. Position the speakers equidistant from your primary listening position. Experiment with toe-in (angling the speakers slightly towards the listener) to achieve the best stereo imaging. Keep speakers away from corners and walls to avoid excessive bass resonance.

4. Connecting to Your Amplifier/ຮັບ

The D17 speakers feature high-quality binding posts for secure connections. Use appropriate gauge speaker wire for the distance between your amplifier and speakers. Connect the positive (+) terminal of the speaker to the positive (+) terminal of the ampຕົວເພີ່ມສຽງ, ແລະ ຂົ້ວລົບ (-) ຂອງລຳໂພງໄປຫາຂົ້ວລົບ (-) ຂອງ amplifier. Ensure all connections are tight and free from stray wire strands that could cause a short circuit.

ຄໍາແນະນໍາການດໍາເນີນງານ

1. Initial Playback

Once connected, select your audio source on your amplifier/receiver and begin playback at a low volume. Gradually increase the volume to a comfortable listening level. Verify that sound is coming from both speakers and that the stereo image is balanced.

2. ໄລຍະເວລາພັກຜ່ອນ

Like many high-performance speakers, the Demand D17 benefits from a break-in period. During the first 50-100 hours of use, the drivers will loosen up and reach their optimal performance. You may notice an improvement in bass response and overall clarity as the speakers break in. Play a variety of music at moderate volumes during this period.

3. Ampຄວາມເຂົ້າກັນໄດ້ຂອງ lifier

ຮັບປະກັນຂອງທ່ານ amplifier is capable of driving an 8-ohm load and provides sufficient power for your listening preferences. While the D17 speakers are efficient, a quality amplifier will allow them to perform at their best.

ບໍາລຸງຮັກສາ

ທໍາຄວາມສະອາດຕູ້

Use a soft, lint-free cloth to gently wipe the speaker cabinet. For stubborn marks, slightly dampen the cloth with water. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or solvents, as these can damage the finish.

The magnetic grille can be carefully removed. Use a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment on a low setting to remove dust from the grille fabric.

Driver Care

Avoid touching the speaker drivers (tweeter, midrange, woofers) directly, as this can cause damage. If dust accumulates, use a soft brush or compressed air from a distance.
