INTRODUCTION

Few owners of new Hi Fi

equipment read the instruction

manual.

Vivid Audio has decided not to

provide a formal instruction manual

or user guide on this product.

Instead, we have designed a

concise informative piece, which

should hold your interest whilst

browsing through it. While doing

so, you will learn about the do’s

and don’ts of this fine piece of

equipment.

We at Vivid Audio are enthusiasts.

We enjoy what we do - and are

good at it. Although Vivid Audio is

but a few years old, we have

revolutionised perceptions on the

performance of a good

loudspeaker. We believe in sound

engineering design and have a

skilled crew of engineers and

design professionals on board

looking after all aspects of our

products.

UNPACKING

Lay the sealed product on its back

as indicated by the arrows on the

side of the box.

Use a power driver or Phillips

cross-head screwdriver to remove

the screws securing the top

wooden cover of the crate. Remove

the cover and place safely aside.

Remove the accessories from the

crate before proceeding.

Remove the loudspeakers from the

crate by lifting them from the lower

section of the crate. CAREFULLY

remove the protective materials,

paying special attention not to

damage the drivers in the process

(see warning).

Reassemble the packaging and

save for future use.

Stand mounting (V1p only)

The loudspeaker will benefit

enormously from the use of

approximately 400mm high sturdy

loudspeaker stands. It is

recommended to spike to

loudspeaker stands to the floor and

to compliantly bond the

loudspeaker base to the top of the

stand by using the re-usable

flexible adhesive provided.

Wall mounting (V1w only)

In the case of the wall mount

version, a wall mount kit is provided

and two variants are available,

catering for both dry walling and

brick and mortar type walling.

For dry walling the circular securing

plate is provided with two mounting

holes for the two 8mm coach

screws (provided). Once the plate

is firmly secured into a suitable

sturdy stud, the mounting stalk can

be secured in position and nipped

up with a 13mm spanner (not

provided). The loudspeaker is then

fitted over the cut-out knuckle,

positioned and tightened up by

hand.

PLEASE ENSURE THAT THE

COACH SCREWS ARE FIRMLY

LOCATED INTO WOODEN STUD

AND DO NOT MOUNT THE

LOUDSPEAKER UNTIL THE

SECURITY OF THIS MOUNTING

HAS BEEN APPROVED.

For the masonry/brick mounting,

the plate and coach screws are not

used but the M8 Rawl type bolt is

utilised. By using a suitable 14mm

drill bit, bore the hole to take the

Rawl bolt.

The mounting stalk is screwed

directly onto the exposed m8

thread and is used to secure the

whole sub assembly to the wall

(use a 13mm spanner not

provided).

In order to obtain the maximum

benefit from your purchase, it is

important to know something about

the acoustics of the room in which

you intend to install the

loudspeakers. No matter how well

the product performs in a good

environment, the performance will

be adversely influenced if care is

not taken at this stage. Extensive

information of room acoustics is

available to you on our web site

www.vividaudio.com

This procedure applies to V1p due

to physical constraints on the use

of V1w.

A précis of this guideline follows:

MAKE SURE YOUR AMPLIFIER IS

TURNED OFF!!

All connections/reconnections must

be made when the amplifier is

switched off.

Start with the two main front

speakers. Position the left front

speaker one fifth of the width of the

room from the left hand wall and

one third of the distance from the

back wall. Connect the low

frequency (LF) terminals of the

loudspeaker ONLY (facing the back

of the loudspeaker, the LF

terminals are on your left). We

suggest you now load some well

known music with predictable lower

octave musical content into the CD

player. A listener should be seated

in the listening position and listen to

subtle changes in bass character

and cleanliness whilst the speaker

is moved in the longitudinal plane

towards and away from the rear

wall of the room. A point will be

reached where the bass sounds

clean and believable. Mark this

distance from the rear wall. Do the

same in the lateral place about the

position just realised. An improved

result should be obtained. DEAD

EASY! You have found the optimal

position for the low frequency

portion of the audio band in your

room.

Place the right hand speaker in the

mirror position on the right hand

side of the room. From the seated

position you should be equidistant

from each speaker. We suggest

you toe the speakers in towards the

listening position so that the

visually extended centres of the

tweeters cross some way in front of

you in the listening position. This

may be re-adjusted once the

loudspeakers are settled in.

Use a well-known piece of music.

At this stage you should mark and

note the position you have found.

After listening to this track and a

few others you may find that

moving the speaker forward

(towards the listening position),

improves the sound stage. This is a

personal preference and is worth

spending time on.

MAKE SURE YOUR AMPLIFIER IS

TURNED OFF!!

Connect the right red terminal of

your amplifier to the red terminals

of your right hand loudspeaker. The

black terminal of your amplifier is

connected to your right hand

loudspeaker’s black terminals

The left hand loudspeaker is

connected in exactly the same

manner as the right hand one.

If you are not sure of the method

please obtain help from your

dealer.

INSTALLATION NOTES: DATE:…………………..

______________________________________________

Some early loudspeaker history

1874 - Ernst W. Siemens was the first to describe the "dynamic" or moving-coil

transducer, with a circular coil of wire in a magnetic field and supported so that it

could move axially. He filed his U. S. patent application for a "magneto-electric

apparatus" for "obtaining the mechanical movement of an electrical coil from

electrical currents transmitted through it" on Jan. 20, 1874, and was granted patent

No. 149,797 Apr. 14, 1874. However, he did not use his device for audible

transmission, as did Alexander G. Bell who patented the telephone in 1876. After

Bell's patent was granted, Siemens applied for German patent No. 2355, filed Dec.

14, 1877, for a nonmagnetic parchment diaphragm as the sound radiator of a

moving-coil transducer. The diaphragm could take the form of a cone, with an

exponentially flaring "morning glory" trumpet form. This is the first patent for the

loudspeaker horn that would be used on most phonographs players in the acoustic

era. His German patent was granted July 30, 1878 and his British patent No. 4685

was granted Feb. 1, 1878.

1898 - Oliver Lodge filed for British patent No. 9712 on

Apr. 27, 1898, for an improved loudspeaker with

nonmagnetic spacers to keep the air gap between the

inner and outer poles of a moving coil transducer. This

was the same year he applied for a patent on his famous

radio tuner. A model of his loudspeaker is in the British

Science Museum in South Kensington, and a photo was

published in Wireless World Dec. 21, 1927. This

improvement was later claimed by Pridham and Jensen in

the Magnavox application for patent No. 1,448,279 filed

Apr. 28, 1920, and granted Mar. 13, 1923.

Oliver Lodge

from Das Fotoarchiv

1901 - John Stroh first described the conical paper diaphragm that terminated at the

rim of the speaker in a section that was flat except for corrugations, filed for the

British patent No. 3393 on Feb. 16, 1901, granted Dec. 14, 1901.

1908 - Anton Pollak improved the moving-coil loudspeaker with a voice-coil centering

spider, filed for U.S. patent No. 939,625 on Aug. 7, 1908, granted Nov. 9, 1909.

1911 - Edwin S. Pridham and Peter L. Jensen in Napa, California, invented a

moving-coil loudspeaker they called the "Magnavox" that was used by Woodrow

Wilson in San Diego in 1919.

1915 - Harold Arnold began program at Bell Labs to

improve phonographic sound recording. The first priority

was the electronic amplifier using the new vacuum tube,

second was the microphone, and third was the

loudspeaker that would improve the "balanced armature"

units developed for public address. After WWI, J. P.

Maxfield led this project that produced E. C. Wente's

moving coil speaker by 1925, the Orthophonic

phonographic player by 1925, and Vitaphone talking

motion pictures by 1926.

early Bell loudspeakers

1918 - Henry Egerton on 1918/01/08 filed patent for balanced-armature loudspeaker,

used in the Bell Labs No. 540AW speakers developed by N. H. Ricker Oct. 6, 1922,

that became the 540 commercial speaker by 1924; was based on the balanced

armature telephone patent of Thomas Watson granted Oct. 24, 1882, similar to

devices also developed by Siemens and Frank Capps.

1921 - The Phonetron based on patent No. 1,847,935 filed

Apr. 23, 1921, by C. L. Farrand, was the first coil-driven

direct-radiator loudspeaker to be sold in the U.S. and was

well-received, competing with the horns used by table

radios

1925 Grebe radio

receiver and 1924

Western Electric 540

speaker (NMAH)

1923 - The Thorophone was a gooseneck loudspeaker

with a voice-coil driver

1925 - The research paper of Chester W. Rice and

Edward W. Kellogg at General Electric was important in

establishing the basic principle of the direct-radiator

loudspeaker with a small coil-driven mass-controlled

diaphragm in a baffle with a broad midfrequency range of

uniform response. Edward Wente at Bell Labs had

independently discovered this same principle, filed patent

No. 1,812,389 Apr. 1, 1925, granted June 30, 1931. The

Rice-Kellogg paper also published an amplifier design that

was important in boosting the power transmitted to

loudspeakers. In 1926, RCA used this design in the

Radiola line of a.c. powered radios.

1925 - Victor Orthophonic acoustic phonograph player had a folded exponential horn

that was later used as model for the Klipsch speaker of the hi-fi era. Within a year,

the Orthophonic faced competition from all-electric phonographs with an

electromechanical pickup, vacuum-tube amplifier, and moving-coil loudspeaker, such

as the Brunswick Panatrope sold by the Brunswick-Balke-

Collender Company.

1926 - Vitaphone sound system for motion pictures used a

new speaker developed at Bell Labs. Wente and Thuras

designed the Western Electric 555-W speaker driver that

was coupled with a horn having a 1-in. throat and a 40-sq.

ft. mouth; it was capable of 100-5000 hz freq. range with

an efficiency of 25% (compared to 1% today) needed due

to low amp power of 10 watts. The power amps were 205-

D. Older loudspeakers were balanced armature type, but

the newer 555-W speakers of the Vitaphone were moving

coil type.

1928 - Herman J. Fanger filed patent No. 1,895,071 on

Sep. 25, 1928, granted Jan. 24, 1933, that described what

came to be known as the coaxial speaker, composed of a

small high frequency horn with its own diaphragm nested

inside or in front of a large cone loudspeaker, based on

the variable-area principle that made the center cone light and stiff for high

frequencies and the outer cone flexible and highly damped for lower frequencies.

Vitaphone 555-W, from

AT&T Archives

1929 - E. W. Kellogg filed patent No. 1,983,377 on September 17, 1929, granted

December 4, 1934, that described an electrostatic speaker composed of many small

sections able to radiate sound with out magnets or cones or baffles. This patent, as

well as the 1932 British patents of Hans Vogt, influenced Peter Walker to build the

Quad ESL flat panel speaker in 1957.

1929 - J. D. Seabert of Westinghouse developed a horn-type loudspeaker that

directed the sounds of human speech toward the audience better than cone

speakers that were intended for the over-all sound including music to fill the entire

theatre. These "directional baffle" horns had an opening 3 ft. by 4 ft. and were

different from small-throat horns.
