INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of your IWO series loudspeaker. The
IWO Series is a break-through in loudspeaker design for the modern home,
combining style and decor with an amazing sound quality. Elegantly finished in
glossy white or black, it is only 4" deep, and yet produces a full-bodied dynamic
and detailed sound. It can be easily hung on your wall without looking obtrusive.
What’s more, you can even flush-mount on your wall using the ingenious wall-
mounting kit (optional).
As far as performance is concerned, the IWO series ticks all the right boxes -
build quality, design, frequency and dynamic bandwidth, and detailing. Be it for
stereo or multichannel audio, you will find a suitable solution from this range.
So go ahead and play your favourite music and movies and let your eyes and
ears feast.
UNPACKING
Your carton contains:
• 1 x loudspeaker
• Audiophile grade speaker cable, 3m long
Please retain all packing materials in case you need to transport the loudspeaker
We suggest that the loudspeaker be "broken in", i.e., played for some time, so
that it can quickly start performing at its best! If you do not want to do this when
you are at home set your source unit, i.e., CD player on "repeat entire disc"
mode. Then, allow the loudspeaker to play at moderate volume level for 6 - 8
hours.

AMPLIFIER SELECTION
We recommend using amplifiers whose continuous (rms) power per channel is
greater than or equal to that the speaker handles. Recommended power ratings
of amplifier are given under specifications. Please see page 20 & 21.
In the event that the power is greater, care must be taken to avoid playing music
at excessively loud levels and thus damage the speaker. Also, while using an
amplifier with rms power lower than the rated power handling of the speaker,
please ensure that the amplifier volume is set such that there is no audible
distortion. Lower powered amplifiers, operating at close to maximum volume,
often produce distorted signals at high levels. This can lead to damage of the
high frequency driver, the tweeter.
WIRE CONNECTIONS
Please proceed with the connection in the following fashion:
1. Turn off the amplifier.
2. Gently pull off the insulation on the cable ends (which has been pre-cut at
the factory) and twist the strands on the wire.
3. Insert them into the holes on the gold plated binding posts and turn them to
tighten. Please note the following
A. Verify that the wires from the positive terminal and negative terminal
do not touch each other, as a short-circuit could damage the amplifier.
B. Verify that the loudspeaker is in proper phase: The + (red) terminal on
the loudspeaker is connected to the + (red) terminal on the amplifier.
The - (black) terminal on the loudspeaker is connected to the - (black)
terminal on the amplifier.

7a. PLACING STEREO OR FRONT LEFT AND RIGHT SPEAKERS IN
A MULTI-CHANNEL SYSTEM
Finding the right position for the IWO 501, 502, 611 and 612 are also very
important. The following should aid in locating that optimal position:
Ensure that there are no objects between the speaker and the listener in general.
Avoid placing the loudspeakers near corners which will boost the low frequency
level but at the same time create reflections in the midrange and treble area,
which results in a deterioration of the stereo image. As a guideline, for optimum
placement, the distance to the side wall should be at least 50 ~ 80 cm.
The distance between the IWO 501, 502, 611 and 612 should be the same as the
distance from either loudspeaker (left and right) to your preferred listening position
(thus forming an equilateral triangle with the left, right speakers, and you as the
three vertices.) If distances are not a premium, then the optimal position could be
attained by playing a stereo recording, separating the left and right speakers till an
acoustical hole is formed in the middle. Then bring the two speakers together to
attain a uniform sound front.
Another important point to bear in mind while placing the speakers is that the
tweeters of the speaker are at ear level. Detach the grill so you can see the tweeter
