Interconnect cables

We recommend the use of high-quality audio

interconnect cables to ensure the best performance

of your system. All cables should be kept as short as

practically possible.

It is good practice to make sure that any mains power-

supply cabling is kept as far away as possible from your

audio cables, to eliminate unwanted noise in the audio

signals.

Connecting to a sound source

Check that your ampliﬁer/sound processor/receiver is

switched off before connecting Muso. Failure to do this

may result in both speaker and ampliﬁer damage.

Refer to your ampliﬁer/receiver/sound processor

handbook to identify the speaker terminals and

their polarity. For each speaker, connect the positive

terminal of the ampliﬁer (normally coloured red or

labelled with ‘+’) to the red (positive) terminals on

Muso. Similarly, connect the negative terminal of the

ampliﬁer (normally coloured black or labelled with

‘–’) to the black (negative) terminals on Muso.

After connecting

Turn the sound source ampliﬁer volume down to

minimum before switching on. Switch the ampliﬁer(s) on,

select a source signal, then gradually increase the volume

to the required listening level.

Rubber mat

We recommend you sit the Muso speaker on the

rubber mat supplied. The mat ﬁts inside the recessed

area of the speaker base and provides a stable, non-slip

surface that helps to acoustically decouple the speaker

from its support.

Detachable speaker cover

Although the metal front grille is effectively acoustically

transparent, some users prefer speakers with an ‘open’

appearance. The cover is secured by four magnets and

can be easily detached and replaced.

In removing the cover (and during storage), be careful

not to bend or twist the grille as it is a precise ﬁt with

the speaker. The tweeter unit has a metal guard to

protect it, but take care not to damage either drive unit,

or place any object in the port opening.

Care of your speakers

Running-in

In the same way as a new car requires a ‘running-in’

period, so do all loudspeakers. Your Muso speaker may

sound good when you ﬁrst connect it, but with time it

will improve dramatically. Expect about 50 hours use

before the full potential of your Muso is realised.

Power handling

Arcam speakers are designed to reproduce recorded

music under normal domestic conditions. We do

not recommend nor warrant them for commercial

applications, such as discothèques, public address, etc.

Bearing this in mind, these speakers will perform well

and safely with hi-ﬁ ampliﬁers rated between 20 and

100 watts per channel. Care must be taken, however, to

avoid ampliﬁer overload or ‘clipping’. Apart from possible

damage to the ampliﬁer, this can (and does) damage

loudspeakers. In this respect, an overdriven low-powered

ampliﬁer is more likely to cause damage than a properly

used high-powered one.

Speaker stands/wall brackets

The more ﬁrmly a speaker is held, the better it will

sound.

This is best achieved by using sturdy, metal, speaker

stands or wall brackets. In the case of stands, properly

damped types that do not ‘ring’ when tapped with a

pencil are recommended. It is helpful to have stands

with adjustable spikes or spacers to eliminate rocking

movements in the speakers. Suitable speaker stands or

wall brackets are available from your Arcam dealer.

If the Muso speakers are to be shelf-mounted,

remember to sit the speaker on the rubber speaker mat

supplied

Cleaning

To clean your speakers use a soft, slightly dampened

cloth to wipe off any dust or dirt. Do not use solvent-

based or chemical cleaning products as these may

damage the ﬁnish of the speaker cabinet.
