  4. Follow all instructions.

  5. After unpacking the product, make sure do not leave the packaging within reach children. It presents a risk of suffocation.

  6. Clean only with a dry cloth.

  7. Do not block any ventilation openings. Install the device following the manufacturer’s instructions.

  8. Do not install the appliance proximity to a heat source (e.g. cooking appliance, flame, etc.) or any device (including amplifiers) dissipating heat. The device should not be exposed to a temperature above 65°C.

  9. Only use props recommended by the manufacturer.

  10. If cords or harnesses are provided, use them properly as mentioned in the instructions without replacing or modifying them any way.

  11.  The methods of installation and securing the speakers to any surface whatever it is (support, anchoring to ground, etc.) meet conditions and standards for installation, layout, safety and wiring force applicable to surfaces and/or media concerned. Moreover, the products can vibrate and damage the supports on which they are fixed.
    This is why the operation installation must be carried out by a qualified professional, knowledgeable installation and safety standards.
    Focal does not provide any warranty destination to a medium or a given installation, the implementation of the installation of the loudspeakers of the single customer.
    Focal cannot therefore be held liable in any capacity in the event of an incident, accident and/or any other consequence or damage of any kind related to the installation speaker.

  12. Only use handling equipment adapted, carts, stands, tripods, recommended stands or tables by the manufacturer or those sold with the device. When a cart is used, be extra careful during moving the carriage assembly/ device to avoid injury. by tipping.

  13. Any maintenance task must be carried out by qualified personnel. Maintenance is required for following any damage caused to device such as deterioration of the power cord or plug, inserting objects, spilling of liquid inside the device, the malfunction or fall of the device.

AMPLIFIER CHOICE

In an 8 Ώ Amplifier configuration:

It is not the excess power of an amplifier that risks damaging the enclosure and the loudspeakers, but on the contrary a power failure. Indeed, if the volume is too high, the amplifier saturates and generates parasitic signals which risk to destroy the tweeter. The dynamic capacity and definition of Littora loudspeakers are high enough to highlight highlights the qualities and defects of the amplifiers associated with them. Your dealer will be able to direct you according to your tastes and your budget.

In a 70V/100V Amplifier configuration:

The use of an amplifier delivering a power 20% higher than the total power of the installation is recommended to avoid overloading or damaging Littora products. Your dealer will be able to advise you according to your tastes and your budget.
An amplifier used at full power, associated with a 70 V/100 V transformer can deliver dangerous voltages. Always disconnect power from the amplifier and transformer before any handling in order to avoid any risk of electric shock.
Follow the recommendations and instructions/configuration of your amplifier in order to connect correctly each Littora 200 loudspeaker.

Choice of cables
Choose quality cables with an appropriate section for the length and for outdoor installation: your dealer will know to advise you.

SPEAKER POSITIONING

OD STONE 8/OD SAT 5

The loudspeakers must be distributed in a line or in an arc of a circle in a homogeneous manner in order to best cover the listening area.
The spacing between two loudspeakers will be at least 2 m for a listening area of ​​between 2 and 6 m (fig. 14). He is
However, it is possible to vary these distances to find the ideal compromise according to the layout conditions.

OD SUB 12

To supply the listening area optimally, place the OD SUB 12 as close as possible to the center of the installation, avoiding basins (fountains, swimming pools, water deposits, etc.). The optimal listening zone corresponds to a radius of 6 m around the sub.
For more bass, place it closer to a wall (fig. 15).

FACILITY

Before installing the loudspeakers, ensure that the chosen locations on the ceiling/wall/floor are not obstructed by the passage an air duct for example, or by any cable likely to interfere with the installation.
These products are IP55 certified for increased resistance to water and dust. To preserve their lifespan, do not subject them to a constant stream of water and never immerse them. After severe weather, it is advisable to wait a few hours before switching the installation back on; natural drying will restore normal functioning nominal audio.

OD STONE 8
The design of the OD STONE 8 allows it to be placed on any surface without mounting. It can optionally be placed or fixed using its attachment loop located on its base.

WALL MOUNTING

DO SAT 5 (fig.7)
Before attaching the products, verify that the supports are resistant, in perfect condition, and that they are suitable for rest. in the time. For fixing the wall brackets (E), call a professional and use only screws and dowels suitable for materials. To mount the loudspeakers, firmly fix the support using adaptors to the Materials. For a more discreet installation, pass the cable through the central perforation as well as the notch located on its base (fig. 16). Make sure to keep about 30 cm of cable so that you can easily make the connection and orient the enclosure afterwards. Then, orient the loudspeaker in the direction of the listening area and tighten the joints firmly with the lockout screw (fig. 8).

FLOOR MOUNTING

DO SAT 5 (fig. 9)
Floor mounting is only done on earth or sand. Excluded are rigid floors made of metal, wood or concrete. Take the stake (F) provided and plant it by hand about 4-5 cm from the ground. Then push in the stake as far as it will go using a suitable maintenance tool. For a more discreet installation, pass the cable through the perforation central as well as the opening situate at the base of the stake. Be sure to keep about 30 cm of cable in order to be able to easy to connect and orient the speaker afterwards. The stake is breakable for installations on little ground. deep. For this purpose, notches are available at 10 and 20 cm to facilitate cutting.
Warning : the pique section will generate cutting edges that can cause injuries.
Next, orient the enclosure in the direction of the listening zone and firmly tighten the joints with the locking screws. (fig. 8).

OD SUB 12
To supply the listening area optimally, place the OD SUB 12 as close as possible to the center of the installation, avoiding basins (fountains, swimming pools, water deposits, etc.). For more bass, it is possible to bring the OD SUB 12 closer to a wall (Fig. 15). Prepare the location of the sub by digging a hole of 330 x 880 x 380 mm (fig. 10). Positioning (fig. 10 and 11): To take full advantage of the capabilities of the sub, make sure you have a minimum space of 7 cm between the ground and its external part. Adjust the height of the vent to your liking by exerting a rotation during its positioning in its location.
Then cover his body with about 2 cm of soil.
Caution: This product is not intended for use other than with the body buried.

CONNECTIONS

OD STONE 8

For To do this, make the appropriate connections using the waterproof cable connectors provided (B). In order to avoid any disruption of the signal, take care to electrically insulate the strands which are not used using suitable equipment

DO SAT 5
The power of the OD SAT 5 is adjusted using the two-position notched selector on the back. To get there, remove the screw on the back of the satellite (fig. 6). Each position selects two values. It is the type of amplifier connected to the speaker that determines the power emitted through the enclosure


Position dedicated to a traditional 8Ω hi-fi amplifier.
5W/100W, 10W/20W, 20W/40W and 40W/ΘFOCAL-LITTORA-200-OD-Stone-8-Basalte-fig-

In these positions you can use a 70 V or 100 V amplifier.
Θ Do not use
This position requires the exclusive use of a 70 V amplifier. The use of a 100 V amplifier risks damage the speaker and the amplifier.
OFF
Default location. No link is active.

OD SUB 12

  • With its 5-wire cable, the OD SUB 12 adapts perfectly to 70/100 V (fig. 13) or 8 Ω (fig. 12) amplification.
  • To do this, make the appropriate connections using the waterproof cable connectors provided (B).
  • In order to avoid any disturbance of the signal, take care to electrically insulate the strands which are not used using equipment adapted.
