Heco LA DIVA Mode D'emploi page 7

Dear HECO Customer,
We congratulate you on acquiring this exclusive HECO product.
Acquiring this loudspeaker will enable you to fulfil your wildest dreams for listening to natural,
unadulterated sound.
Please study the instructions and information below carefully before using your new loudspeakers.
SET-UP INFORMATION
LA DIVA should if possible be set up without obstruction and slightly inclined towards the place of
listening (fig. 1).
In the ideal configuration the speakers and the listening position should form an equilateral triangle.
When the left and right speakers are the same distance from the listening position their sound arrives at
the same time, resulting in a harmonious, natural music reproduction.
There should be a clear line of sight between the loudspeakers and the listening position. Any sound-
absorbing or reflecting obstacles in the path will distort the sound.
FITTING THE FLOOR PLATES
The floor plates provided must be fitted to both speakers before use. To do this, place the speakers on
a clean, stable base with the bottom facing upwards. It is better not to remove the protective bag until
after fitting has been completed so as to avoid damage to the paint surface.
First fit the four metal spikes to the floor plate, as shown in Fig. 2a: Four spikes (x) are screwed into the
threaded holes in the floor plate (y) from below as far as they will go. The lock screw (z) is then fitted
and tightened.
Now fit the pre-assembled floor plate using the M6 screws provided, as shown in Fig. 2b.
The metal spikes (x) are height-adjustable so as to guarantee the stability of the speaker. To do this,
loosen the top lock nut (z) and adjust the spike by turning it. Once the right setting has been found,
tighten the lock nut again.
Rubber inserts are screwed into the bottom of the cone spikes. These ensure optimum stability on
smooth, hard floor coverings, such as laminate or tiles. The rubber inserts can be replaced with metal
inserts (included in the package). This variation is better suited for carpets, for example.
BI-WIRING AND BI-AMPING, TRI-WIRING AND TRI-AMPING
LA DIVA possesses a field with eight screw terminals, which – besides conventional connection to an
amplifier – also permit bi-wiring/bi-amping and tri-wiring/tri-amping.
The (-) terminals are on the left.
The top terminals are connected to the treble branch, the middle ones to the crossover filter's mid-range
branch and the bottom terminals to the bass branch. The additional terminal at the top right allows the
treble range to be elevated by 2dB, the other terminal in the centre right allows the mid-range to be
lowered by 2dB.
