Vivid Audio C1 - Manual (Page 3)

3
INTRODUCTION
It is indeed true that very few
owners of new Hi Fi equipment
read the enclosed instruction
manual.
The people Vivid Audio have, in the
light of this fact decided not to
provide an instruction manual or
user guide on this product!
Instead we have designed a
concise informative piece of
literature design to enthral you
whilst looking through it and without
even knowing it learning about the
dos and don’ts of this fine piece of
equipment.
The people at Vivid Audio are an
enthusiastic bunch. They really
enjoy what they do - and are good
at it too! Although only a few years
old we have in this short space of
time revolutionised many peoples’
perceptions on what a good
loudspeaker should be able to do.
We believe in sound (excuse the
pun) engineering design and as
such have a skilled bunch of
engineers and design professionals
on board looking after all aspects of
our products.
UNPACKING
Lay the complete sealed product
on its back as indicated by the
arrows on the side of the box.
A power driver can now be used to
remove the screws securing the top
wooden cover of the crate (red).
Remove cover and store carefully.
Now lay the crate on the bottom
side as indicated and remove the
accessories from the crate before
proceeding further.
The loudspeaker is now exposed. Slide the loudspeaker towards you
out of the crate (on the poly end
pieces).
CAREFULLY remove the protective
materials paying special attention
not to damage the drivers in the
process.
Reassemble the packaging and
save for future use.
Assembly
Assuming you have purchased the
matching C1 stand (which will
provide the ultimate platform to
optimise the performance of the
C1), you would have unpacked the
product in a similar way to the C1
and will now be in a position to
mount the C1 onto the C1s. For
this a 5mm o ring and two M8 bolts
are provided. Ensure you have
positioned your stand correctly
using the knurled spikes provided
or alternately the rubber feet if
there is a chance of damaging the
floor with the spikes. Make sure
that all five spikes are securely
mounted and the stand is not
rocking. With the o ring in position
place the C1 CAREFULLY on the
C1s lining up the two location bolt
holes in the process. Insert these
ensuring not to over tighten
them, - the o ring should just begin
to flatten as the bolts are nipped
up.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
If you are satisfied with the
positional stuff above the time has
come to connect the loudspeakers
to you power amplifier.
MAKE SURE YOUR AMPLIFIER IS
TURNED OFF!!
