Step 1: Connect the active speaker to the passive speaker
Connect the two speakers together using the speaker wire provided. If you need a longer
length than is shipped with the system, we recommend 12 to16 gauge speaker wire.
!
The speaker terminals on the active speaker are OUTPUTS. DO NOT connect
the output terminal of a stereo amplier to these terminals. Doing so might
damage the stereo amplier and/or the active speaker itself.
Connect the speaker wires to the Passive Speaker1.
Locate the red speaker input terminal (15) on the a.
passive speaker.
Loosen the screw cap to expose the hole in the b.
connector.
Thread the exposed wiring through the hole. We c.
think it’s easier to thread upwards from the bottom.
Tighten down the screw cap until the wire is d.
securely in place.
Repeat steps a-d for the black terminal (15) on the e.
passive speaker.
!
To avoid the possibility of shorting the terminals, make sure
the exposed sections of speaker wire do not touch during
installation or operation.
Connect the speaker wires to the Active Speaker 2.
Repeat steps a through e for the red and black terminals (7) on a.
the active speaker. Make sure to connect the red terminal to the
red terminal, and the black terminal to the black terminal. Wire
manufacturers visually differentiate the two lengths of speaker wire
(e.g. by color, marking on the outer covering, etc.).
!
If the terminals of the same color are NOT connected to each other, the two
speakers will be out of phase, resulting in poor audio quality.
Step 2: Connect the active speaker to the power outlet
Make sure the power switch (12) is in the 1. OFF position.
Connect the AC power cord into the Power In connector (13) on the active speaker. 2.
Plug the AC power cord into the power outlet. 3.
www.vanatoo.com 9
Step 3: Connect the active speaker to your audio device
Turn the volume control (10) on the speaker and audio device down to minimum. 1.
Find the correct input connector for your audio device on the active speaker back 2.
panel (2, 3, 5, or 6). Connect the device using the appropriate cable and turn it on.
Turn the power switch to the 3. ON position (12). The blue LED (11) will light up
within 5 seconds to indicate power to the unit.
TIP An auxiliary AC power output (14) is provided as a convenient source of power for
your audio device.
!
T he AUX AC power connector is not fused and is not switched (i.e. it is live
whenever the active speaker is plugged into the wall power, regardless of the
position of the on/off switch).
TIP If you are using a wireless network device, or connecting to a computer using the
USB port, there may be additional setup necessary on your audio source. Consult
the device manufacturer for setup instructions.
TIP While adding or removing cables with the power on won’t damage your speakers,
we recommend that you turn them off rst.
Step 4: Optimize for your space
Vanatoo knows each customer’s environment and listening preferences are different.
Transparent One speakers have bass, treble, and volume adjustments, and allow you
to choose whether the active speaker is in the left or right position.
Locate the L–R switch (1) on the back of the active speaker.1.
Set the switch to designate whether the active speaker is the speaker on your left 2.
(L) or right (R) when you are facing both of the speakers from the front.
Turn the audio device volume up to ¾ to full. 3.
Turn the active speaker volume knob (10) up to the maximum volume you desire. 4.
This should provide a good volume combination so that, in the future, you should 5.
only need to adjust the volume control on your audio device to achieve your
desired listening volume. Adjust the volume combination down if your settings
cause distortion. As with all speakers, prolonged distortion can cause permanent
damage.
Rotate the treble (8) and bass (9) controls to adjust the balance as desired. In 6.
most cases, the optimum setting for a at frequency response is to set the treble
and bass knobs at the detents (straight up position). This is our default setting.
Visit our website for pointers on how to optimize the settings for different room 7.
conditions. www.vanatoo.com/audiospeak
Step 5: Enjoy!
That’s It! You are ready to enjoy your Vanatoo Transparent One speakers.
Congratulations and happy listening.

CONNECTING TO AN OPTIONAL SUBWOOFER
Vanatoo Transparent One speakers are designed to provide excellent bass at louder
than normal listening levels without the need for a subwoofer. However if you are
playing very bass heavy music, adding a subwoofer will allow you to play even lower
bass and achieve louder overall volume. When a subwoofer is connected, the active
speaker automatically detects the connection and adds a digital crossover network
between the Transparent One speakers and the subwoofer.
Connect to any powered subwoofer using the “SUB OUT” connector (4) on the 1.
active speaker.
Set the crossover frequency on your subwoofer to its maximum setting. 2.
Set the volume control on the subwoofer to desired level. 3.
The Transparent One system will automatically set the crossover frequency 4.
between the TP1’s and your subwoofer.
AUDIO MUSIC SOURCE PRECEDENCE
If multiple devices are connected to your Transparent One speakers, the device you
hear is automatically selected based on the hierarchy shown below:
3.5 mm analog1.
TOSLINK Optical S/PDIF2.
Coax S/PDIF3.
Audio USB4.
For example, if the Transparent One is connected to an MP3 player via the 3.5 mm
analog connection and to a networked audio device via the TOSLINK optical
connection, and both are turned on, the MP3 player is the source that will be played.
If however, the MP3 player is turned off and the networked audio device is left on, the
networked audio device will be the source that is played.
When switching from an analog source to a digital source, the analog source
must be OFF (or silent) for 15 seconds before the Transparent One amplier will
switch to one of the digital inputs. This enables the amplier to discern between the
analog input being turned off and normal inter-track silence thus avoiding switching
to the digital input between analog tracks. This 15 second wait time is not necessary
when switching from a digital source that has been turned off.
TIP Some digital audio devices (optical, coax and audio USB) continue to output a
signal even though they aren’t delivering sound or are in ‘sleep’ mode. They are not
off from the system’s perspective. Therefore, we recommend connecting no more
than one digital device and one analog device simultaneously unless you can
ensure that all but the desired digital device is truly powered off. Otherwise, the
digital device will prevent your Transparent Ones from switching to a source with
lower precedence.
