Connecting speakers
Solo Mini is designed to drive a pair of full-bandwidth
speakers, rated between 4 and 8 ohms. Arcam Muso
speakers ideally complement the performance and
design values of Solo Mini, but other high quality
speaker units will also give good results.
Solo Mini is tted with speaker terminals that can
accept either 4mm banana plugs, spade terminals or
bare wires. To connect the speakers, unscrew the
corresponding terminals on the back of Solo Mini,
insert the speaker wires (or spades) and screw the
terminals back up. Make sure that the red (positive/+)
terminal of the speaker is connected to the red
(positive/+) terminal on the back panel, and the black
(negative/–) terminal of the speaker is connected to the
black (negative/–) terminal on the back panel.
It is important that no stray strands of wire from these
connections are allowed to touch another cable or the
product casing. Failure to ensure this can cause a short
circuit and damage your Solo Mini.
Do not over-tighten the loudspeaker terminals, or use a
wrench, pliers, etc., as this could damage the terminals and
this would not be covered under warranty.
Speaker cables
The speakers should be
connected to the amplier
using good-quality, high-purity,
copper cables. Solid core cables,
or those with surface-only
conductors, are particularly
suitable. Bell wire and very
cheap speaker cables should
be avoided – they are a false
economy and can signicantly
degrade the sound quality.
The cable runs to the two
speakers should be of
roughly equal length and
yet as short as practicable.
Connections to the speaker
terminals should always be
tight, whether using bare
wires or spade connectors,
but do not use tools such as
pliers, wrenches or spanners
to tighten the connectors as
these may cause damage to
the terminals.

Speaker setup
Proper speaker placement is the key to the sound from
your speakers. As a rough guide, speakers should be
placed on rigid stands at about 15cms from the rear
wall and at least 60cms from any side wall. Speakers
should never be placed on the oor (unless they are
oor-standing speakers), or in corners. The speaker
drivers should be about ear-level height when seated.
If poss ble, centre your seating area between the
speakers.
The nal sound will depend on the acoustics of
the listening room and experimenting with speaker
positioning is very worthwhile.
Speaker installation
The advice given here is a general guideline for setting
up speakers. Refer to the documentation supplied with
your speakers for more precise positioning and installation
information.
Room acoustics
Your room’s shape and how it is furnished will affect
the sound you hear. For instance, too many bare
surfaces can cause reections that may add harshness
to the sound. Carpets, wall-hangings and curtains can
all help.
If you have a choice of listening rooms, avoid one that
is perfectly square or has one dimension exactly twice
another. Such a room can aggravate resonances that
colour the sound.
The closer you place a speaker to corners and the
intersection of wall and oor or wall and ceiling, the
stronger the bass output, which may over-emphasise
the bass. Moving a speaker just a few inches can
sometimes make a big difference.
Speaker stands
The more rmly a speaker is held, the better it will
sound. We recommend the use of rigid metal stands of
40–60cms height. Properly damped types that do not
‘ring’ when tapped with a pencil (either by virtue of
construction, or because they are lled with dry silver
sand) will bring out the best in a speaker. Ensure that
the stands and/or speakers do not wobble.
Arcam can supply specially designed oor stands for
Muso (and other bookshelf-sized) speakers. Arcam’s
adjustable wall-xing brackets are a very practical
alternative. Ask your dealer for details.
