Congratulations on your purchase of the Dayton Audio
These affordable tower speakers feature dual 6-1/2" woofers in a custom-
tuned bass reflex enclosure for huge dynamic impact and bass performance
from a compact, floorstanding design. Please read on to discover how to get
the most from your new speakers.
1) Parts Inventory
The T652 speaker package includes the following items:
• 1 pair of Dayton Audio T652 speakers
• 1 pair of 2-conductor red/black speaker cables
2) Installation Tools
No tools are required for installation of the T652 speakers. The T652 speakers
should be placed on the floor.
3) Speaker Placement
Because of their well-behaved off-axis response and excellent dispersion,
your new Dayton Audio speakers are less critical to position than most loud-
speakers. Often, simply placing them where they best fit into the decorating
scheme is all that is necessary for exceptional performance.
CAUTION: Wall-mounting of the T652 speakers is not recommended.
Use extreme caution whenever suspending a hanging load overhead,
or serious injury may result.
If you are inclined to go through a more rigorous positioning exercise, the
following paragraphs will help you achieve all the performance that your
system is capable of.
Carefully select a few recordings. Choose recordings made with simple ar-
rangements and strong vocals by a single performer. Physically small sound
sources localize much more precisely. Placement of horns, strings, vocals,
and drums will snap into focus when the loudspeakers are optimally positioned.
Start with the speakers directly in front of your primary listening position. Avoid
hard vertical edges within 3 or 4 feet of either side of the cabinet. Position
the cabinets about 1-2 feet out from the wall. Listen to one of the selected
recordings paying close attention to the positions of the instruments and
vocalist. Move the speakers 6-12 inches at a time, returning to the listening
position to evaluate the results. Once placement is optimized, the vocalist
will be firmly positioned in front of the instruments and the instruments will
seem to be between or behind the loudspeakers. If possible, position your
speakers to that when you are seated in the primary listening position your
ears are 10-12 feet from the tweeter. Viewed from your seat, the angle be-
tween the speakers should be 30 to 60 degrees.
T652 speakers.
Pay special attention to the bass. The relation between bass response and
®
room position is critical. Adjust the position of the speakers closer to or further
away from nearby walls so that the bass levels are in proportion with the rest
of the musical spectrum. The T652 speakers may be placed directly against
walls, but if there is too much bass, move the speaker away from the rear wall.
Loudspeaker positioning can be time-consuming, but the rewards justify the effort.
4) Speaker Connection
Use the supplied speaker wire or other good quality wire for the connection
between your Dayton Audio loudspeakers and the amplifier. For longer runs,
heavier wire should be used. For proper performance the speakers must
be "phased" correctly. To insure proper phasing, connect the red speaker
terminals to the red amplifier terminals and the black speaker terminals to
the black amplifier terminals. All two-conductor wire is marked in some way
to help you do this. One side will be marked with a colored stripe, a raised
rib, or a different colored conductor. Use the marked side for the "red" con-
nections, if a color code is not provided.
5) Caring For Your Speakers
Clean your speakers by wiping with a damp, lint-free cloth. The finish of your
speakers can be maintained and enhanced by periodic use of a surface
protection such as "ArmorAll". The grilles may be vacuumed (with brush
attachment) or gently tapped or brushed to remove dust and debris. It is
recommended to leave the removable grills in place during use.
POWER RATING NOTE: Almost any speaker can be used successfully with
almost any amplifier. Conversely, almost any speaker can be damaged by
almost any amplifier-despite either unit's power rating. The published power
rating is accurate only if the volume level is never set above the point of au-
dible distortion. Distortion is an indication that the amplifier or loudspeaker
is operating beyond its design limits, and damage may occur – often within
seconds. If you hear distortion, immediately reduce the volume. The T652
is designed to be used with stereo equipment rated from 5 to 150 watts and
from 4 to 8 ohms impedance.
Dayton Audio T652 loudspeakers are designed to reproduce music and
speech in a home environment at moderate volume levels. When used
within their limits Dayton Audio T652 loudspeakers will provide many years
of trouble free performance.
