Induction Dynamics S2.c - Manual (Page 4)

General Information
Please read these instructions thoroughly before attempting to connect and operate the
S2.c.
Check Speaker and Parts
Unpack and carefully check each loudspeaker. If you suspect damage from transit, report the
problem immediately to your dealer and/or delivery service. If possible, save the shipping
cartons for future use.
General Care of Your Loudspeaker
Whenever changing speaker wires, interconnect wires, or power cords, always turn off all
equipment. To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose the amplifier to rain or excessive
moisture. To avoid electric shock, do not open the amplifier. There are no user serviceable
parts inside.
Your speakers and amplifier come in a high quality finish that is both attractive and durable.
To clean, use a soft, damp cloth. If your drivers become dusty, dust them with a paintbrush
or a brush vacuum attachment. Do not use a strong or abrasive cleaner.
The grille is covered in acoustic cloth. To keep your grille clear of debris, we recommend
you use a lint roller (like you would use on clothes).
Bass and Loudness Contour Controls
Do not use bass or loudness contour controls. Induction Dynamics’ subwoofers produce
very low frequencies without these controls. Use of these controls will make the bass sound
“boomy”, obscure higher frequencies, and possibly cause damage.
S2.c Location
S2.c speakers are normally mounted on-wall, but may also be used as bookshelf speakers.
The height of the S2.cs should be determined by locating the tweeter at ear level. The
tweeter reproduces high-frequency audio, which our ears perceive as most directional, so
we are most attuned to their level and placement. Consider whether people will be sitting
or standing in the listening area when placing the S2.cs.
A pair of S2.cs should be placed a few feet from the front wall of the listening area, six
feet or more apart, usually mounted in the corner between two walls, or between a wall
and ceiling. Experiment with the distance between the two speakers to achieve an evenly
spread sound stage. Speakers should be at the same height (with the tweeter at ear level).
To optimize bass response, vary the distance of your S2.c speakers from the front wall.
