Yarden 6-OD - Getting Started

2 Getting Started

We recommend that you:

Unpack the equipment carefully and save the original box and packaging

materials for possible future shipment

Review the contents of this user manual

Go to http://www.kramerelectronics.com/support/product_downloads.asp

to check for up-to-date user manuals, application programs, and to check if

firmware upgrades are available (where appropriate).

2.1 Achieving the Best Performance

To achieve the best performance:

Use only good quality connection cables (we recommend Kramer high-

performance, high-resolution cables) to avoid interference, deterioration in

signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated noise levels (often

associated with low quality cables)

Do not secure the cables in tight bundles or roll the slack into tight coils

Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may adversely

influence signal quality

Position your Kramer Speaker away from moisture, excessive sunlight and

dust

This equipment is to be used only inside a building. It may only be

connected to other equipment that is installed inside a building.

Do not open the housing of the speaker; doing so may reduce the

quality of the sound.

Yarden 6-OD - Overview

3 Overview

The Yarden 6-OD is a high performance on-wall speaker that can be mounted on

the wall vertically or horizontally. The mounting bracket is made of painted steel that

can be attached to the speaker, letting you rotate it to the left or right.

The Yarden 6-OD speaker features:

A MONO/STEREO selector switch

Two pivoting titanium tweeters and two transformers, letting you use the

speaker in the mono or stereo mode

A multi-tap power transformer for selecting 8Ω (bypassing the transformer)

or 70V/100V power settings that are suitable for an array installation

4 Installing the Yarden 6-OD

This section explains how to:

Choose the best location for your speakers (see Section 4.1)

Install the speaker wires (see Section 4.2)

Install the mounting brackets (see Section 4.3)

Setup an array installation (see Section 4.4)

Connect the Yarden 6-OD (see Section 4.5)

4.1 Choosing the Best Location

Before installing the speaker:

Experiment by placing the speakers in different locations before finally

deciding on the most suitable location

Be sure that the wall type is appropriate for the mounting brackets, that is,

either solid wood, bricks, concrete, hollow building blocks, or wood studs

Check that the mounting location is free of obstructions, such as electrical

piping, AC ducts or water lines, and so on

4.2 Installing the Speaker Wires

To install the speaker, do the following:

1. Prepare the wires for the speaker:

Cut the wires to similar lengths

For achieving high quality sound

Measure the length from each speaker to the receiver, and cut the

wires accordingly, adding some access wire length to let you easily

remove the speakers from the bracket without having to disconnect the

input wires

2. Strip the ends of the wires to expose a length of approximately 3/8 inch.
