HDS-255c CENTER SPEAKERSMTMThe HDS255c audiophile, high definition center speaker is designed tofaithfully reproduce both music and home cinema sound with crystal clearand pinpoint imaging. Best suited for use in small to medium sized roomson speaker stands, a shelf or on top of the Television. This exceptionalspeaker was developed to work in horizontal axis and uses shielded driversfor use near TVs, with home theatre, developed with extra attention given tovocal clarity required by cinema.

The purpose developedPeerless HDS tweeter is Acoustically-Alligned (physically counter-sunk intothe box) and Phase-aligned in an MTM coaxial design with a premiumquality, professionally tuned box for incredible clarity, definition, accuracyand fantastic dynamic impact that rivals any speaker in this sized package.A truly audiophile speaker for music and/or home theatre. Highlyrecommended to be used with our Peerless HDS Series of speakers andthe XLS Series of subwoofers to complete the audio-visual experience.

To best reproduce the DVD home theatre audio experience, it isrecommended by most installers that all speakers be identical. This is toachieve a seamless transition of sound from one speaker to the otherwithout any obvious change in tone. You can accomplish this by using acombination of all HDS250 speakers (HDS255c as centers). However, itcan also be achieved by the use of a combination of different speakers inthis range, due to the close sonic resemblances of each HDS speaker. eg.For a most impressive setup, use the HDS455 as mains, the HDS255c asyour center and the conveniently compact HDS150 or HDS250 as surroundspeakers. The choice of XLS800 or XLS1000 depends on room size andpotential listening volume.

Two 5.5" Peerless HDS mid-woofers givearticulate tight, fast bass, natural mids, an impressively wide sound stagewith low distortion at even high volume levels.

WHY A DUAL PAIR TERMINAL CUP ?Our premium grade HDS Series of speaker systems come with dual pair terminal cups.This facilitates connection to both the upper and lower frequency drivers separately.Generally this is not required for a normal audio system set up but is given as an option forAudiophiles who wish to take advantage of the improvements from Bi-Wiring or Bi-Amping.

BI-WIRE CONNECTION

This refers to the running of separate cables from the amplifier to both the highrange and low range drivers. This arguably improves definition and focus byimproving the amplifiers damping and reducing intermodulation crosstalkbetween the woofer and the tweeter." ".An inexpensive tweak for getting the best sound quality from your investment

NORMAL SINGLE WIRE CONNECTION

A)

B)

C)

If you do not wish to use Bi-Wire or Bi-Amping,then simply leave the supplied "Shorting-Straps"in place on the rear terminal block and use astandard speaker wire pair to connect yourspeakers to your amplifier system. Please note thatthe Gold plated terminals must be tightenedsecurely so the straps don't accidentally slip looseover time with the speakers vibration and onedriver stops functioning due to being disconnected.

As an option to stop this from happening,you could solder in the shorting links on theCrossover Circuit Board (Shown as "Links 1" & 2).

Alternatively you could connect the inputspeaker cable from your system to both terminals.

CROSSOVER CONNECTION:

If you have a Soldering Iron, a drop of solder makes for excellent reliability.

Velcro strips are supplied as a quick and easy solution for affixing theCrossover Circuit Board directly to the inside bottom of the speaker box.

Ensure Bottom Inside of the Box is clean of dust, etc. (with a damp cloth).

Remove Velcro tape to expose the sticky and

Attach the Velcro strips to the underside of the Crossover Circuit Board.We suggest positioning flat onto PCB where there is no solder blobs todistort the tape and its adhesive surface. Use all six for a most secure fit.

Familiarise yourself with the boards connections and where they should go.

Identify the leads to be connected to the rear plate from the diagram below.

Insert the Board into thespeaker through the woofers hole and stick down on the bottom side.

Now attach the four appropriate leads to the rear terminal plate.

Insert the rear terminal plate into the cabinet with the supplied screws.Take care not to over tighten and crack the plastic.

Next stage is to install the drivers.....

HDS250 Positioning and usage:The HDS250 speaker system has been developed for premium home theatre andmusic reproduction. The highly efficient dual 5" drivers will fill a reasonable sized roomwith ample volume from any sized amplifier, from 10 to 110 Watts. Speaker stands or ashelf of 600mm in height is best, however as a general rule the tweeters should beabout ear height. Do not obstruct the rear port, about 10/15cm clearance minimum.The HDS250s' are fully shielded so they can be positioned as close to the TV as youlike, but around 10/15cm out is best for Dolby . For optimum music listening it isdesirable to have the speakers approximately 2.8M apart, around 3M away from thecentre listening positioned and toed-in by 10 if desired, however, this obviouslychanges depending on the room acoustics and aesthetic or domestic compromises.

Apply the gasket tape. This is essential for an air-tight seal.Use the speaker drivers packaging to hold and protect the faceand dome/surround when applying the gasket tape..For the tweeter, carefully run the tape around the outercircumference once then cut off excess.For the woofer, keep to the inner rim of the drivers mountingflange, again, only once around then cut.

Place your speaker cabinet on a non-slip, non-scratch surface.

into the cabinet. Internalspeaker cables thread thru the Internal Damping Cloth. Aim the4mm Banana plugs UP . Screw inusing four of the supplied black screws, not too tight or youmay damage the plastic panel.

Check the cables have sufficient length to reach each speakerand don't catch anywhere, or block the port.

Insert the speaker jack panel

(This stops the plugs falling out!)

Drilling pilot holes for the woofer:Drop in the driver and align it to the side edge of the cabinet

Attach the drivers.

BEWARE

Apply the spade connectors totheir respective drivers, ensuring you have the correct

polarity. We recommend you also solder theseconnections for excellent long-term reliability.

not to apply too much heat to the tweeter contacts ordamage to the plastic mounts can occur. Only a smallamount of solder is required for a secure connection.

Screw in the drivers, carefully, moving to opposingscrews and tightening until the driver is flush with the

cabinet and not too tight as to thread the screw. If usingan electronic screwdriver, set it to a medium torque

setting, and use your hand for the final tightening.

making sure it is absolutely square.Hammer in centre punch for the six screw holes.

Remove the driver and drill a 2mm pilot hole for each screw.

If the felt is supplied separately, insert it now. The speaker boxdesigner recommends a modest amount on the rear panel only.

This gives the best sound and response.Ensure the felt is secured and will not touch any moving part of

the woofers or obstruct the port tube on the back panel.Affix using heat glue or a small staple gun.

Check the run of the speaker cables for ample reach and thatthey too will not touch the woofer nor obstruct the port

or rattle against the cabinet walls, etc.
