ELAC 4PI PLUS V Bedienungsanleitung/Sicherheitshinweise Seite 7

FUNCTION
We congratulate you on your purchase of this ELAC product. In order to fully exploit
the excellent performance of this appliance, please read the manual.
We would advise you to keep the manual in a safe place for future reference.
The ELAC 4PI PLUS V is an add-on tweeter that is based on the technology of the omni directional ribbon
tweeter. This patented tweeter received its name from the physical definition for the maximum solid ang-
le (= 4PI).
The ELAC 4PI PLUS V can directly be connected to main speakers. The 4PI PLUS V offers sound that
comes off easily. This add-on tweeter provides spacious sound for a broad listening area and can be
used for stereo applications and for home cinema. Even at a value of more than 50 kHz, there will be no
resonances.
The ELAC 4PI PLUS V consists of an internal network (it is called crossover network) with filters and pro-
tections. That makes this add-on tweeter easily connectable to main speakers.
The crossover frequency and levels can be adjusted by means of adjusting pins. Therefore, the tweeter
can be adjusted to meet your individual demands.
INSTALLATION
In most cases, the ELAC 4PI PLUS V is positioned on the top of floor-standing loudspeakers (Fig. A).
By turning the bottom part of the tweeter cabinet against the main part, the 4PI PLUS V offers the
possibility to be placed on angled surfaces, e.g. the top plates of the Vela cabinets (Fig. B).
In some cases, interesting results can be achieved, if the 4PI PLUS V is placed behind or next
to a main speaker.
To ensure perfect omni directional radiation, the distance between the add-on tweeter
and reflecting walls should be 50 cm (minimum).
