3. Impostazione

3.1 Posizionamento degli altoparlanti

For optimal sound quality, consider the following placement guidelines:

• Bookshelf Placement: Place speakers on a sturdy, level surface at approximately ear height when seated. Avoid placing them too close to walls or corners, which can overemphasize bass.
• Montaggio a parete: The TSi100 speakers feature a built-in keyhole bracket for wall mounting. Ensure you use appropriate wall anchors and screws capable of supporting the speaker's weight (approximately 10 pounds per speaker).
• Immagine stereo: Position the speakers equidistant from your primary listening position and angle them slightly inward (toe-in) towards the listener for a focused soundstage.

3.2 Collegamento degli altoparlanti

The TSi100 speakers are designed for connection to an amplifier or receiver. Follow these steps:

1. Spegni: Assicurati che amplificatore/ricevitore sia spento prima di effettuare qualsiasi collegamento.
2. Cavo dell'altoparlante: Use high-quality speaker wire. For runs up to 25 feet, 16-gauge wire is sufficient. For longer runs, use 14-gauge or thicker wire.
3. Polarità: Collegare il terminale rosso positivo (+) dell'altoparlante al terminale rosso positivo (+) del amplifier/receiver. Connect the negative (-) black terminal on the speaker to the negative (-) black terminal on your amplifier/receiver. Maintain consistent polarity for all speakers in your system.
4. Tipo di terminale: The TSi100 features binding post terminals that accept bare wire, spade connectors, or banana plugs. If using banana plugs, remove the small plastic caps from the binding posts.

4. Utilizzo degli altoparlanti

Once properly connected, your Polk Audio TSi100 speakers are ready for use. They are designed to be highly efficient and can be driven by a wide range of receivers and amplifiers, with a recommended amplification of 20-100 watts per channel.

• Controllo del volume: Regola il volume del tuo amplifier/receiver to a comfortable listening level. Avoid excessively high volumes that cause audible distortion, as this can damage the speakers.
• Periodo di rodaggio: Like many audio components, your speakers may benefit from a 'break-in' period of several hours of normal use to achieve their full sonic potential.
• Integrazione del sistema: The TSi100 speakers are voice-matched to other speakers in the Polk TSi Series, allowing for seamless integration into multi-channel home theater systems.

5. Manutenzione

To keep your Polk Audio TSi100 speakers in excellent condition, follow these simple maintenance tips:

• Pulizia: Dust the speaker cabinets with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn marks, use a slightly damp cloth, but avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• griglie: The speaker grilles can be removed for cleaning or for a different aesthetic. Handle them gently to avoid damage.
• Ambiente: Avoid exposing speakers to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, or high humidity.

6. Risoluzione Dei Problemi

If you encounter issues with your TSi100 speakers, consult this section before contacting support.

• Nessun suono:
  • Controllare tutti i collegamenti dei cavi degli altoparlanti sia sull'altoparlante che sul amplificatore/ricevitore per un contatto sicuro e una corretta polarità.
  • Assicurare il ampil convertitore/ricevitore è acceso e la sorgente di ingresso corretta è selezionata.
  • Verificare che il volume non sia disattivato o impostato su un livello troppo basso.
• Suono distorto:
  • Riduci il volume del tuo amplifier/receiver. Distortion often occurs when the amplifier è sovraccarico.
  • Controllare i collegamenti dei cavi degli altoparlanti per verificare che non vi siano fili sfilacciati che potrebbero causare un cortocircuito.
  • Ensure the speakers are not placed too close to walls or corners, which can cause boomy or distorted bass.
• Suono sbilanciato:
  • Controlla le impostazioni del saldo sul tuo amplificatore/ricevitore.
  • Verificare che entrambi gli altoparlanti siano collegati con la polarità corretta.
