CHOOSING AN AMPLIFIER
In an 8Ώ Amplifier configuration:
It is not an excess of amplifier power that can damage your loudspeaker and drivers, but rather a lack of power. In fact, if
the volume is too high, the amplifier saturates and generates parasite signals that may destroy the tweeter. The dynamic
capacity and definition of Littora loudspeakers are high enough to reveal the strengths and weaknesses of whatever amplifier
is connected to them. Your dealer will be able to guide you, depending on your tastes and budget.
In a 70V/100V Amplifier configuration:
It is recommended to use an amplifier that delivers 20% more power than the system's total power to avoid a surge or damage
to Littora products. Your retailer will be able to guide you depending on your tastes and budget.
An amplifier used at full power, combined with a 70V/100V transformer, can deliver dangerous voltages. Always
disconnect the power from the amplifier and the transformer before handling, to avoid any risk of electric
shock.
Follow the recommendations and instructions/configuration of your amplifier in order to correctly connect
each Littora 200 loudspeaker.
Cable choice
Choose good quality cables with a cross-section appropriate for outdoor installation: your dealer will be able to advise you.
LOUDSPEAKER POSITIONING
OD STONE 8/OD SAT 5
The loudspeakers should be arranged, evenly spaced, in a line or arc in order to cover the listening area as best as possible.
The space between two loudspeakers will be at least 6.5ft (2m) for a listening station measuring between 6.5ft - 19.6ft (2-6m)
(fig. 14). However, it is possible to vary these distances to find an ideal compromise depending on the space layout.
OD SUB 12
To supply the listening area as best as possible, place the OD SUB 12 as close as possible to the centre of the system, avoiding
any pools (fountains, swimming pools, water sources, etc.). The optimal listening zone is a radius of 16.6ft (6m) around the
sub. For more bass, place it closer to a wall (fig. 15).
INSTALLATION
Before installing the loudspeakers, ensure that the intended positions on the ceiling/wall/ground are not obstructed by the
passage of air vents, for example, or any cables that may interfere with the installation.
These products are IP55 certified for increased water and dust-resistance. To protect their service life do not expose them to
constantly running water and never immerse them in water. After heavy rainfall, we recommend waiting a few hours before
turning them on again; allowing them to dry-out naturally will restore nominal audio functioning.
OD STONE 8
The design of the OD STONE 8 allows it to be placed on any surface without mounting. It can either be placed or fixed using
its attachment loop located on the base.
