Attaching the Spikes to Floorstanding Models – 155, 156, 157, 159

· Make sure you have plenty of unobstructed working space.

· Place a so cloth on the oor to protect the loudspeaker.

· Invert the loudspeaker onto the cloth.

· Thread a locknut onto each spike and loosely rub it up the thread.

· Thread the spikes into the spike inserts. Tighten them nger tight.

· Invert the loudspeaker. Be careful not to damage the oor with the spikes.

Levelling the Loudspeakers

When the speaker is upright: You will probably nd that the speaker will wobble with one spike not contacting the oor. Adjust this spike until

all four spikes are in contact to the oor.

With the aid of a spirit level move each spike in and out until the loudspeaker is level and siing squarely on all four

spikes without rocking.

Now tighten each locknut securely against the collar in the plinth to secure the spike.

Screw in rubber feet are provided for use on wood or stone oors etc. and should be aached in the same manner as the

spikes.

Important Safety Information

This symbol indicates that there are important operating and maintenance instructions in the literature

accompanying this unit.

Stands and Brackets

The bookshelf loudspeakers are intended primarily for stand mounting, though they can be mounted on wall brackets or even on sturdy

shelves. The quality of loudspeaker stands greatly inuences the performance of your loudspeakers, please do not use imsy products.

Centre Channel Loudspeakers

Each centre channel loudspeaker is supplied with two sets of mounting feet. By using combination of large and small feet the loudspeaker may

be angled to point directly at the listening position. This will be found useful when the centre speaker is positioned under the TV screen.

Preparing the Diamond 100 Loudspeakers

Cables and Connectors

Choosing Loudspeaker Cable

Specialist audio cable usually oers beer performance than general purpose 'bell' or 'zip' wire.

Choose a cable of suitable diameter – cable that is too thin will limit the dynamics of the sound and may impair the bass response. Audio cable

is polarised, with two cores of dierent colours, or oen a raised rib or coloured tracer in the case of twin cable. Before you purchase your cable,

give careful thought to the positioning of your loudspeakers.

This is especially the case if you are bi-wiring your loudspeakers.

Cable lengths to loudspeaker pairs should be the same for le and right channels in order to equalise the signal

transmission. Allow some slack in your speaker cables so you can alter their position to best advantage.

Preparing Loudspeaker Cable

Split the twin cores to a depth of about 40mm. Carefully strip the insulation from each end, leaving about 10mm of

bare wire. If the cable is stranded, lightly twist to gather any loose strands.

Connecting Screw Terminals

All loudspeakers use screw terminals.

Unscrew the terminal. Insert the bare end of the cable into the hole in the base of the terminal. Tighten securely.

When connecting terminals make sure you leave no strands of bare wire that can short across to adjacent terminals.

As an alternative to bare wire you can use specialist spade connectors. Your Wharfedale dealer will be pleased to

advise you on this issue.

Crossover Networks

Bi-Wireable Networks

Most speakers in the Diamond 100 series use a special bi-wireable crossover panel with four

terminal binding posts. Please follow the drawing carefully to see the correct orientation of the

loudspeaker terminals. The upper terminals connect to the treble unit, the lower pair to the bass

unit. As supplied, the treble terminal pair is connected to the bass terminal pair via removable

metal straps. These should be le in place for standard installations.

Why Bi-Wire?

Using sepa rate cab les for tr eb le and b ass units in a bi-wiring configurati on reduces

intermodulation eects and improves headroom and clarity. To bi-wire, you will need to install

two lengths of twin core cable between the amplier and each loudspeaker.
