Unpacking Your Loudspeakers
Please read this manual as soon as you have opened the carton.
Lift the loudspeaker carefully out of the packing. Do NOT try to lift the loudspeaker using the cloth bag.
Unpack any accessories carefully.
If there is any sign of damage or if the contents are incomplete, report this to your dealer as soon as possible.
Retain the packing for future safe transport of the product. Dispose of the packing with respect to any recycling provisions in your area.
Positioning Stereo Loudspeakers
The distance between the speakers should be the same as between you and the speakers.
If the loudspeakers are placed too close to the walls the bass will increase but may be boomy and indistinct. If the loudspeakers are placed further away from the walls, the inward angle ("toe in") may be increased by up to 30%. As personal taste plays a large role, experiment with different configurations and play a wide range of programme material before finalising the position of your speakers.
The optimum listening position is in the area broadly known as the "sweet spot" . The more extreme the angle the narrower the sweet spot is. Wharfedale loudspeakers are designed to cover a medium sonic perspective so there should be no need for extreme settings.
Standard Loudspeaker Wiring
Choose a suitable length of twin core speaker cable for each channel and prepare the ends. Unscrew each terminal a few turns. Connect the red, positive (+) terminal of the Left loudspeaker to the corresponding red, positive (+) amplifier terminal.
Connect the black, negative (-) terminals similarly. Tighten the terminal securely. Repeat this procedure for the Right
Channel. If you are standard wiring make sure the terminal links are securely in place.

Bi-Wiring
To bi-wire, you will need to install two pairs of twin core cable between the amplifier and each loudspeaker and remove the terminal links.
Note: Some amplifiers have two pairs of output terminals to facilitate bi-wiring but this is not essential. The advantages of bi-wiring are fully retained if your amplifier has only one pair of loudspeaker terminals per channel (as in the illustration).
Looking After Your Loudspeaker
Your Wharfedale loudspeakers use a specially hardwearing sealed finish. They should not be waxed or treated with spray polishes which will smear and dim their lustrous finish. Occasionally polish them with a dry or barely moist cloth to remove dust and finger marks, etc.
Occasionally, remove the loudspeaker grilles and brush them gently with a soft brush before replacing them carefully.
Never stand objects on your loudspeakers. In particular do not stand flowers, etc. on them – they are not jardinieres!
Avoid getting any liquid behind the grille. If you accidentally spill liquid on your loudspeakers, take them to your dealer for attention before using them again.
Do not open the speakers; there are no user serviceable parts inside. Never touch the driver units either with an object or your hands.
