cable should be lightly twisted to gather the ends.

When connecting cables, ensure that there are no 
loose strands which may touch adjacent terminals.

  

In a Home Theatre system, the directional cues come 
from the front and centre channels. The rear channels 
provide ambience and rear perspective and for this 
purpose a bipolar design with its mix of direct and 
reflected sound is ideal.

The Diamond DFS is fitted with 125mm Kevlar bass 
units and is ideal for use with other loudspeakers in the 
award-winning Diamond Series.

If the listening position is some distance from a rear wall, the 
loudspeakers may be mounted on opposing side walls but 
always behind the listening position.

WARNING:   To reduce the risk of fire or electrical 
shock do not expose this product to rain or moisture. 
The product must not be exposed to dripping and 
splashing and no object filled with liquids such as a 
vase of flowers should be placed on the product. 

NO naked flame sources, such as a lighted candle 
must be placed on the product.

CHOOSING AND PREPARING CABLES

 

Choose a quality loudspeaker cable of 

suitable diameter. Audio cable is polarised, with two 
cores of different colours or a coloured tracer. To 
prepare a cable, split the cores to a depth of 25mm.
