Introduction

Thank you for choosing Scansonic loudspeakers, we hope they

will bring you many years of enjoyment.

Please read this manual fully before unpacking and installing

the product.

Carton contents

We have during production and packing carefully checked and

inspected these loudspeakers.

After unpacking please check for any damage from transport.

We recommend that you keep the original cartonbox and

packing material for any future shipping.

In the cartonbox you will ﬁnd:

1 Bracket for flat wall mounting

1 Bracket for 15° angle wall mounting

8 Self-adhesive rubber pads.

Loudspeaker installation

The speakers are best used with the tweeters approximately

at ear level when seated. Brackets are enclosed and wall

mounting is optional and offers opportunity for optimising

the sound through selecting the height and angle of the

loudspeaker position.

If you place the loudspeakers on a shelf or furniture unit, the

enclosed adhesive pads may be attached under the cabinet

and will protect from unwanted resonances and from scratches.

Loudspeaker positioning

Variations in placement of your loudspeakers can produce

dramatic differences in the way music sounds. No listening

rooms are the same and therefore we encourage you to spend

some time experimenting with which placements work best in

your listening room. Trust your ears and be willing to experiment

freely. You can start with our basic recommendations.

Please try to ensure that the rooms surroundings of each

loudspeaker left and right are similar in acoustic character.

For example, if one loudspeaker is placed on bare walls while

the other is placed close to soft furnitures and curtains, both

the overall sound quality and the stereo image are likely to be

compromised.

To begin with, the speakers should be positioned between

1.5m and 3m apart at two corners of an equilateral triangle

completed by the listening area at the third corner. See fig. 1

The loudspeakers should ideally be at least 0,5 metre away

from any side walls.

Home Theatre Systems

Scansonic S5 can be used as front channels in a surround

sound home theatre system.

Positioning the front loudspeakers within approximately 1metre

of the sides of your TV will create the best sound image in scale

with the visual image. The loudspeakers’ height should ideally

be between the centre and top of the screen.

If Scansonic S5 are to be used for reproducing the surround

channels in a multi channel home theatre system, we suggest

you place them as illustrated in Figures 2 to 4 depending on the

number of channels.

Magnetic interference

Scansonic S5 tweeter and woofer drive units are magnetically

shielded ensuring that the magnetic field outside the cabinet,

except the front, is too low to cause distortion of the TV picture,

and you can place the loudspeakers as close to the TV screen

as possible without causing visual interference or electro-

magnetic interference with the TV.

Because of the higher magnetic field in front of the

loudspeakers, all magnetically sensitive articles (audio and

video tapes, computer discs etc) should be kept at least 0,3

metre away from the front of the loudspeaker.

Connecting your loudspeakers

We recommend that you read the manual of your amplifier or

av-receiver carefully before connecting your loudspeakers.

Please switch off all equipment when connecting your

loudspeakers.

The binding posts on the terminal accepts wire up to Ø 4mm or

cables with bananaplugs.

Make sure that positive terminal binding posts on the speaker

(marked + and coloured red) are connected to the positive

output terminal binding posts on the amplifier and that the

negative terminals on the speaker (marked – and coloured

black) are connected to the negative output terminal on the

amplifier. See fig 5.

You are now ready to enjoy your Scansonic S5 loudspeakers...!
