Wall Mounting - Heco AMBIENT 11 F Bedienungsanleitung/Garantieurkunde

Dear HECO Customer,
Congratulations on your fine new loudspeakers and thank you very much for choosing HECO! You
have made an excellent choice. The high-quality speakers produced by HECO are renowned all
over the world.
Please study the instructions and information below carefully before using your new loudspeakers.
GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT CONNECTING YOUR HECO AMBIENT LOUDSPEAKERS
Please always use a good quality loudspeaker connection cable from an audio dealer. To prevent
impairment of sound quality, we recommend cables with cross-sections of at least 2.5 mm² for
lengths up to 3 m and at least 4 mm² for lengths above 3 m.
Always turn off the amplifier or receiver before connecting or disconnecting loudspeaker cables.
Place the loudspeakers in their planned positions and cut the cables to the right length. The cables
for both channels should always be exactly the same length.
Strip 10 – 15 mm of insulation from the ends of the cables. Twist the ends – this is much better than
tinning them with solder – insert them in the terminals and tighten the terminal screws firmly (fig. 1 + 2).
Loudspeaker cables with CE-compliant banana or single-pin plugs (4 mm) or forked fittings can
also be used.
For good sound it is imperative that the cables must be connected in such a way that the speakers
are "in phase". This means that the black negative terminals on the speakers (-) must be connected
to the negative (-) terminals on the amplifier, the red positive (+) speaker terminals to the positive (+)
amplifier terminals. To make this easier one wire of most speaker cables is marked with a coloured
strip or a ridge in the insulation.
Before switching on the system double-check all your connections and make sure that the terminal
screws are tight and that there are no short circuits caused by stray wire filaments – this could
cause serious damage to your amplifier!

WALL MOUNTING

The Ambient 11F, 22F and 44F speakers are designed as wall speakers and offer two wall-mounting
options:
1. Attached to the rear are 4 metal fixtures that allow the speaker to be hooked onto two screws
fitted to the wall. The speakers can be fitted to the wall vertically or horizontally. The logo on the
cover frame is fitted in such a way that it can be easily turned to match the direction of the speaker.
Figure 5 - 8 provides information about the screw spacing and the screw dimensions.
2. There are 4 additional threaded inserts on the back (centre of the housing), which allow the use
of a VESA standard wall bracket. The hole size is 100 mm x 100 mm, M4 thread.
Important information/safety instructions:
The customer is solely responsible for the use of wall brackets / speakers attachments.
The customer is also solely responsible for the secure attachment of the speaker bracket to the wall
and the selection of suitable mounting material (e.g. screws, wall plugs, etc.), while taking account of
the weight and construction of the speaker and the condition of the wall.
