Speaker installation
The advice given here are general guidleines for speaker installation.
Refer to the documentation supplied with your speakers for more
precise positioning and installation information.
Positioning
As a rough guide, speakers should be placed on rigid stands at about
15–40cms from the rear wall and at least 60cms from any side wall.
Speakers should never be placed on the oor (unless they are oor-
standing speakers), or in corners.
The nal sound will depend on the acoustics of the listening room
and experimentation with speaker positioning is very worthwhile.
As a starting point, we suggest that the speakers are placed
2–3m apart with their backs 15cms from the rear wall.
Listening in a second room
Solo Neo provides two independent volume
controls, oering you the possibility of listening
to the same output in two dierent rooms of your house. To do this, you will require the
following:
< a power amplier (such as the Arcam P38) and speakers;
< suitable interconnect cables, such as those described above;
< a remote control receiver (optional), available from your Arcam dealer;
< a second Solo Neo remote control (optional), available from your Arcam
dealer.
Make the connections as follows:
1. Ensure that all equipment is switched o and disconnected from the mains
supply.
2. Connect the outputs of Solo Neo labelled ‘Zone 2’ to the audio inputs of the
power amplier using the interconnect cables.
3. Connect the speakers to the speaker terminals of the power amp. The speakers should
be connected in the same method as described in the panel on page 4, ‘Speakers’.
4. Plug the remote receiver from the second room into the connector labelled ‘In Zone 2’
on the rear of Solo Neo.
5. Reconnect the equipment to the mains supply and switch on. You should be able to
hear the output of Solo Neo in through the power amp. and control the volume using
the remote control.
Adjusting Zone 2 volume
Press and hold MENU on the front panel until ‘Z2 Vol’ is displayed, then use the volume
control to decrease/increase the Zone 2 volume. Press MENU again to exit.
Note that the second room is always muted when
Solo Neo is switched on – it must be unmuted
‘explicitly’ when required. This is to avoid
unexpected output in the remote location.
Speaker stands
The more rmly a speaker is held, the better it will sound. We
recommend the use of rigid metal stands of 40–60cms height.
Properly damped types that do not ‘ring’ when tapped with
a pencil (either by virtue of construction, or because they are
lled with dry silver sand) will bring out the best in a speaker.
Ensure that the stands and/or speakers do not wobble.
