WARNING: DO NOT attempt to lift the loudspeaker alone.
We strongly recommend at least four people to unpack and manoeuvre them.
It is strongly recommended to place each loudspeaker relatively close to the optimum listening
position when unpacking to minimise the amount they have to be moved.
The handles on the sides of the cartons can be used to lift the cartons o the transit pallet and
into position.
Spike cups with Magic Sliders attached to them are available to ease the loudspeakers into
position.

Setting up your system
2-channel system
With the speaker sitting on the Magic Sliders, it is possible to “slide” the speaker into position with
massively reduced resistance other than the weight of the speaker.
When arranging a 2-channel system, the listening position and the loudspeakers should form an
equilateral triangle. Ideally the loudspeakers should be positioned approximately 1.8 - 3m (6 - 10
feet) apart and a minimum of 91cm (3 feet) from the side walls. The ideal distance from the rear
wall is 91cm (36 inches).
NOTE: These are recommended distances for optimal performance.
Actual results will vary dependant on room size, construction and personal tastes.
Experimentation is strongly advised when setting up the loudspeakers, as environment and
personal preference will dier with every installation.
Listen to a few familiar songs, making sure you are happy with the speaker position before
removing the Magic Sliders.
To enhance stereo imaging, try ‘toeing’ the loudspeakers in towards the listening area. Sounds
that are recorded equally to each channel should sound as though they are coming from the
space between the speakers.
Use the diagram opposite for suggested positioning of the speakers.

Spikes & feet
Use on carpeted loors
The outriggers are supplied assembled with spikes, itted to the cabinet for use on carpeted
loors. All that is required is to position the loudspeaker in its listening position, and check it is
level and stable.
Please ensure there are no hidden wires under the carpet that could be damaged by
the spikes.
Use on wooden or hard loors
If the loudspeaker is being installed on a wooden or hard loor, use the supplied
foot cups underneath the spike to protect the loor. Position the loudspeaker in
its listening position and check it is level and stable.
Levelling the speaker
You can check that the loudspeaker is level on all sides by using a spirit level (not supplied). If
it’s slightly uneven, remove the top cap (held in place magnetically) and unscrew the foot at
the lowest point using the supplied Hex key as illustrated below and check again. Continue this
process until the cabinet is fully level, then replace the top cap.

Wiring your speakers
Bi-wiring
Bi-wiring is accomplished by connecting separate pairs of loudspeaker cables to the terminals
on the loudspeaker from a single pair of connections on the ampliier. In the case of Hyphn, the
bottom terminals connect to the bass driver(s) and the top terminals connect to the mid and
tweeter.
Bi-amping
Bi-amping is the same as bi-wiring, except you are introducing a second ampliier into the
equation.
In order to bi-amp, you must connect a set of loudspeaker cables to the top terminals on the
loudspeaker from one ampliier and another set of loudspeaker cables to the bottom terminals
from the second ampliier.

Using your speakers
Running-in your loudspeakers
Run your loudspeakers in by playing music at low-mid listening levels for approximately 5070
hours play time. You may ind the sound will continue to improve, even after the 70 hour mark.
This can be done naturally over time: like a ine wine the performance will improve
with age.
Care & maintenance
Upkeep of cabinets
The inish of the cabinet can be maintained by regular dusting using a soft or micro ibre cloth.
The drive units should only be cleaned with a damp cloth, if more than normal dusting is required.
Be careful not to damage the driver units whilst cleaning.
Never use solvents or aggressive cleaning/polishing agents on your Hyphn loudspeakers. When
in doubt, test the cleaning product on an inconspicuous area on the cabinet, and let it sit for
several days before committing to its use on visible portions of the cabinet.
