APart OVO3T-W 3 Inch Small Design Two-Way Loudspeaker
Introduction
Please read this manual before using the product in order to give you the
necessary product and installation instructions to assure a seamless
installation and non-compromised overall sound quality.
Thanks for purchasing our APart OVO3(T) speaker. Budget and quality sound
united: welcome the OVO speakers. This series of cabinet speakers fits into
any decor or interior style. The OVO3(T) can be used in Lo-Z systems. The T
version features a 100 Volt transformer and a Lo-Z impedance of 16 ohms and 3
power settings at 100 Volt: 1.5, 3 and 6 watts. The OVO3(T) uses a new bracket
system that allows you to position the speaker in a variety of different
angles. In case you want to place your OVO on a flat surface, you can use the
supplied pad. The sturdy ABS plastic housing guarantees years of trouble-free
musical enjoyment. Affordable but by no means a compromise on sound quality –
Typically APart!

Connecting the speaker
Use the correct polarity when daisy chaining speakers! When a mistake occurs
in your daisy chain, it may have a severe inpact on speaker performance as
there will be audio-cancellation.
The daisy chain options are endless and the setup will depend on the
capabilities of your amplifier. When daisy chaining speakers make sure that
the total impedance is not lower than the lowest specified impedance of your
amplifier. Not following this rule may result in distorted sound and may even
damage your amplifier. Always check daisy chains with a dedicated impedance
meter.
