User manual HECO METAS 700 BROCHURE

[. . . ] Twist the ends ­ this is much better than tinning them with solder ­ insert them in the terminals and tighten the terminal screws firmly (fig. Loudspeaker cables with CE-compliant banana or single-pin plugs (4 mm) or forked fittings can also be used. [. . . ] When you install the loudspeakers the following distances should be maintained: Metas 500, 700: at least 20 cm away from the rear wall and at least 30 cm from the side walls. Metas 300: shelf loudspeakers should also be as free-standing as possible, the distance to the sides and rear to walls and items should be at least 10 cm, the tweeters should be located at ear height. This isolates them from the supporting surface, preventing unpleasant resonance effects. You can choose between metal and hard rubber spikes for the standing speakers, while the enclosed hard rubber spikes are used for the shelf speakers. The spikes are screwed into the threaded bushes on the bottom of the speaker. The HECO Metas loudspeakers are ideal for use with the Metas Sub 30A active subwoofer. HECO METAS 300, 500 AND 700 AS A FRONT OR REAR LOUDSPEAKER The front loudspeakers are positioned at ear height on the left and right as equidistant from the television as possible. The rear loudspeakers are placed at ear height or a little above on the left and right besides or better behind the listening position. Metas 300: if possible, the cross-over frequency for the front and rear channels should be adjusted to approximately 80 Hz in the AV receiver's set-up. Otherwise all the recommendations made in the previous chapter also apply. HOW TO AVOID DAMAGE TO YOUR VALUABLE SPEAKERS All HECO loudspeakers are designed and built for optimum sound reproduction with the tone controls in the central position ­ i. Turning up the bass and treble controls too far delivers more power to the woofers and/or tweeters, and at high volumes this can actually destroy the speaker units!If the output of your amplifier is significantly higher than the rated power handling capacity of your speakers extremely high volumes can physically destroy your speakers. This doesn't actually happen often but you should be aware that it is possible. [. . . ] The guarantee period is not altered by the fact that we have carried out guarantee work.
