Anthony Gallo Acoustics Nucleus Reference AV Bedienungsanleitung

Introduction

Welcome to Anthony Gallo Acoustics!

Thank you for choosing us! Our all-new Nucleus® Reference AV and Nucleus® Reference AV Center were

designed to mimic the incredible dynamics and clarity of our award-winning Nucleus® Reference 3.1.

Because of the speakers’ unique dispersion, we think you will find them to be the perfect complement to

your stereo or home theater system.

Please take a moment to review the information in this manual so you can properly install your Reference

AV or Reference AV Center loudspeakers. If you have any questions about your new speakers or any

Anthony Gallo Acoustics product, please call us at (800) 459-4183, or send us an email at

[email protected]. As one of our valued customers, your feedback is always welcomed and

encouraged.

We think you will be delighted at how easy it is to connect your Reference AV and Reference AV Center

speakers, and how amazing the sound quality will be. So read on and let’s get you started.

Getting Started

Design Details:

Anthony Gallo Acoustics' Nucleus® Reference AV and Nucleus® Reference AV Center accomplish the

transition between the spheres and cylindrical diaphragm tweeter purely in the mechanical domain.There

is no crossover to rob the musical information of energy, dynamics and micro cues, no crossover to skew

phase and time and no crossover to make your amp or receiver work unnecessarily hard. The outer two

spheres are added for bass augmentation, assisting the inside spheres below 100Hz and entering via a

single-part low-pass filter. A total of four spheres enables a bass response of 55Hz, which is well below the

critical threshold where human hearing is sensitive to directionality. Adding one or two of our subwoofers

below 60Hz can extend the bass performance of the final system (Reference AV + subwoofer(s)) for a more

full-range, highly dynamic, but cosmetically unobtrusive, reference speaker setup.

Vertical or Horizontal?

The Reference AV works both vertically and horizontally. It’s available as the Reference AV (vertical version

w/300° tweeter) or Reference AV Center (horizontal version w/130° tweeter) to adapt usage as main

speaker, rear speaker, side speaker, center channel speaker or sound distribution speaker (for whole-house

sound, restaurant sound, office sound and other commercial installations). In horizontal orientation as the

Reference AV Center, the tweeter is rotated 90° and grows a small skirt to restrict lateral dispersion. This

rotation is fixed at the factory and is not user-adjustable. Because the AV Center is fully-optimized for that

orientation, it can be used in non-center applications, whenever axial orientation becomes an aesthetic or

specific space consideration.

Getting Connected

Unpacking: ( See Figure 1 )

Each Reference AV ships with a perforated metal grill affixed to its chassis with ten rear-mounted bolts.To

protect the speaker during shipping, a foam sheet is inserted between the drivers and the grill.This foam is

removed by undoing five (all on one side) of the ten grill-mount Phillips head screws.This will loosen the grill

sufficiently to remove the protective foam, while the remaining five screws retain the alignment. Once the

foam insert has been removed, refasten the screws.The speaker is now ready for installation, either on the

wall or on the optional stand.

Wall Mount: ( See Figure 2 )

Regardless of orientation, each Reference AV loudspeaker incorporates its own integral wall mount. This

wall mount consists of two parts, which are connected during shipment. They need to be separated for

installation. The outer half gets mounted to the wall. Screw alignment for the included drywall anchors is

provided with the enclosed template. Be sure to affix the wall mount such that the side-facing channels,

which allow you to later hang the speaker into them, are oriented upwards.The second half of the wall mount

that is attached to the speaker slides right into the wall-mounted half via the four included side-facing bolts.

(It is not necessary to hit studs, as the enclosed drywall mounts are sturdy enough to support the weight of

the Reference AV directly. However, stud mounting is preferable).

Once you slide the two pieces of the wall mount together, make sure to tighten the four screws in the

picture hanger channels and the fifth lock screw.This is required for safety and to avoid vibration.

Install the speaker cables before you permanently fasten the Reference AV to the wall mount. Be sure to

observe proper polarity (red/+ to red/+, black/- to black/-). If you route the wire from above the speaker,

the wall mount has two central openings to snake the wire through to the terminals.

Figure #2 To attach the speaker first make sure the wall plate is firmly attached to the

surface. Next loosen the four screws on the section of the wall plate still

attached to the speaker. Now carefully slip the speaker into the hook

channels of the wall plate and tighten all four screws with the supplied allen

wrench. Lastly add the fifth lock screw and tighten.

Attach directly to the

wall, preferably into

a stud.

These hook channels will need to face up for vertical

mounting of the Reference AV

Refernce AV Owner's Manual 3/3/06 10:34 AM Page 4

Stands: ( See Figure 3 )

The Reference AV was deliberately designed and voiced to perform best when it is wall-mounted, as it relies

on the specific acoustical reinforcement generated by the wall.However, optional color-matched stands are

also available. They add "feet" to the speaker if you want to place it atop a lowboy console flanking a

television or as a stereo pair of music speakers. The stand elevates the speaker a mere 2.75” above

whatever surface it sits on. A special center stand with adjustable tilt control for the Reference AV Center is

available as well. This may be placed above or below a television screen or monitor when wall mounting

isn’t practical. Mounting the stand requires dismounting the entire wall mount first.The same four threaded

chassis holes that accept the wall mount bolts will now be used to affix the stand. When you use any

Reference AV model with a stand, try to place the speaker as close as possible to the wall behind it for best

performance.

Figure #3 Remove these four screws and reuse to attach the Reference AV Center stand.

Six screws are required for attaching the stands for the vertical side

speakers. (Refernce AV) These two screws along with the four in the center

are required. The screws supplied with the wallmount are reused for this

application. When attaching the Reference AV Center only the four center

screws are used. 5

Connection to the System:

The Reference AV loudspeakers can be connected to an integrated amplifier, power amplifier, two-channel

receiver or home theater receiver. Connect your speaker cable of choice between the main outputs of your

amplification device and your speakers (or the center and/or rear channel outputs for multi-channel music

or movies). On home theater receivers, set the main and rear speakers to “large.” This does not restrict the

signal to the front channels to above 80Hz only, which would defeat the presence of the AV loudspeakers’

two outer spheres.Those operate to 55Hz and still output audible signal at 40Hz. For best results, feed a

full-range signal to your Reference AV speakers. They were designed with appropriate power handling,

ensuring that low-frequency information is not subtracted. They naturally begin their gradual roll-off below

60Hz (this roll-off is slowed down with wall mounting and accelerated with stand mounting).Wall mounting

means more bass and a richer mid-range; stand mounting means less bass and a leaner presentation.

Adding a Subwoofer:

The Reference AV was designed to mate with a subwoofer, and we highly recommend our own TR-1 and

TR-2 subwoofer models, but quality units from other manufacturers can also be used. Regardless of which

subwoofer(s) you use, choose a low-pass crossover value (the frequency at which the subwoofer “kicks in”)

of 60Hz.You may end up slightly above or below that figure depending upon your room, the placement of

the Reference AV’s and sonic preferences. There is no need to bass filter the Reference AV’s through a

subwoofer’s high-level inputs and outputs. Connect a subwoofer either line-level (from a preamplifier’s

second pre-out, aY-connection from the preamplifier’s main out or a processor/multi-channel receiver’s 0.1

or sub out); or, connect it high-level from a multi-channel receiver, integrated or power amplifier’s main

speaker outputs in parallel to the Reference AV’s.

Depending on where your subwoofer(s) is placed with regard to the front channels, experiment with the

sub’s phase control to create the most satisfactory blend and time alignment with the Reference AV.

Customization:

The powder-coated metal grills can be removed via their ten rear-mounted machine screws to facilitate

custom painting. If you choose to do so, be sure that you do not clog the perforations with paint.
