3. Impostazione

3.1 Posizionamento degli altoparlanti

Il posizionamento ottimale degli altoparlanti è fondamentale per ottenere la migliore qualità audio. Ecco alcune linee guida da seguire:

• Configurazione stereo: Posizionare gli altoparlanti equidistanti dalla posizione di ascolto principale, formando un triangolo equilatero.
• Distanza dalle mura: Experiment with placing the speakers away from the front and side walls to minimize bass reflections and improve imaging. A good starting point is 1-3 feet from the rear wall and 2-4 feet from side walls.
• Convergenza: Angle the speakers slightly inward towards the listening position. Adjusting the toe-in can affect the soundstage width and focus.
• Acustica della stanza: Soft furnishings, carpets, and curtains can help absorb sound and reduce unwanted reflections.

3.2 Connessione a un Amppiù vivace

The Q11 Meta speakers connect to your amplifier using speaker wire. Ensure your amplifier sia spento prima di effettuare qualsiasi connessione.

1. Preparare il cavo dell'altoparlante: Togliere circa 12 mm di isolamento dalle estremità dei cavi degli altoparlanti. Attorcigliare strettamente i fili scoperti.
2. Connetti all'altoparlante: Collegare il terminale positivo (+) (rosso) dell'altoparlante al terminale positivo (+) del amplifier. Collegare il terminale negativo (-) (nero) sull'altoparlante al terminale negativo (-) sul tuo amplifier. Maintain correct polarity for both speakers.
3. Connessioni sicure: Ensure all connections are tight to prevent signal loss or short circuits.

4. Istruzioni per l'uso

4.1 Accensione iniziale

After connecting your speakers, turn on your amplifier and select the appropriate input source. Start with the volume at a low level and gradually increase it.

4.2 Periodo di rodaggio

Like many high-fidelity speakers, the KEF Q11 Meta may benefit from a break-in period. This typically involves playing music at moderate volumes for several hours (e.g., 50-100 hours). During this time, the drivers will loosen up, and the sound quality may improve, becoming more open and refined.

4.3 Volume Control and Listening Levels

Always adjust the volume from your amplifier or source component. Avoid excessively high listening levels that can cause distortion or damage to the speakers and your hearing.

5. Manutenzione

5.1 Pulizia del mobiletto

Wipe the speaker cabinet with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. For stubborn marks, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed immediately by a dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents, or polishes, as these can damage the finish.

5.2 Cleaning the Drivers and Grilles

The Uni-Q driver and bass drivers should be cleaned gently with a soft brush or a dry, lint-free cloth. Avoid applying pressure to the cones. If your speakers include grilles, they can be carefully removed and dusted. Ensure they are securely reattached after cleaning.

6. Risoluzione Dei Problemi

If you encounter issues with your KEF Q11 Meta speakers, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

• Nessun suono:
  • Controllare tutti i collegamenti dei cavi degli altoparlanti sia sull'altoparlante che amplifier ends for proper contact and polarity.
  • Assicurare il amplifier è acceso e la sorgente di ingresso corretta è selezionata.
  • Verify that the volume is not muted or set to a very low level.
• Suono distorto:
  • Ridurre il livello del volume sul tuo amppiù vivace.
  • Controllare i collegamenti dei cavi degli altoparlanti per verificare che non vi siano fili allentati che potrebbero causare un cortocircuito.
  • Assicurati che amplifier non è sovraccarico o in clipping.
• Uneven Sound (one speaker louder/softer):
  • Verificare che entrambi gli altoparlanti siano collegati con la polarità corretta.
  • Controlla il tuo amplifier's balance settings.
  • Ensure speakers are placed symmetrically in the room.
• Ronzio o ronzio:
  • Ensure all audio cables are securely connected and not running parallel to power cables.
  • Try connecting your audio equipment to a different power outlet or a power conditioner.
