Running-in period
The Aria K2 936 loudspeaker is a complex mechanical assembly which need a period of adaptation
("runin") to operate at their best and to become acclimatised to the temperature and humidity conditions
of your environment. This running-in period varies depending on the conditions in question and may last
for some weeks. To facilitate run-in, we recommend operating the speakers for approximately twenty hours
consecutively. Once the loudspeakers' characteristics totally stabilised you will be able to enjoy your Aria
K2 936's performance to the full.
Carton contents:
• 1 loudspeaker
• 1 user manual
• 1 cleaning cloth
• 1 spike adjustment spanner
• 1 aluminium alloy plinth
• 4 screws + Allen key
Specifications
Aluminum/Magnesium alloy inverted dome TNF Tweeter : the tweeter developed for the Aria K2 936
range uses Focal exclusive inverted dome technology, for optimal energy transfer and limited directivity.
The dome's Aluminum/Magnesium alloy guarantees outstanding stiffness and damping. The mechanical
properties of the new suspension system using Poron, an open cell polyrethane microcellular foam, provide
numerous benefits: excellent dimensional stability and no degradation over time. The advantages of the
use of Poron in this tweeter are obvious in terms of linearity and distortion reduction. This leads to a silkier,
more precise sound with greater harmonic richness. The tweeter mounting has an integral waveguide
which maximises horizontal directivity and minimises diffraction.
K2 cone midrange and bass drivers: aramid fiber is a textile with astounding structural properties: It is rigid
and light and well damped for great dynamism and precision
Magnetic front grille: easy to fit; more modern design.
Powerflow System : port tube air speed cut by half compared to traditional technology. No bass dynamic
compression.
Profiled vent: powerful, distortion-free bass.
High-efficiency acoustic wadding: excellent internal damping, sustained, deeper bass.
High-torque, reliable multi-purpose cable connections.
Decoupling spikes included.

Attaching the base to the cabinet
To attach the base to the cabinet, firstly turn the cabinet over so that it is resting on its top (on the
packaging padding), taking care not to damage the cabinet-work, glass top-plate or speaker cones when
carrying out this operation. Position the base on the cabinet and screw in the four screws provided.
Tighten the screws using the Allen key (fig. A).
Connections
The connectors provide reliable, multi-purpose contacts for stripped cables (up to 4 mm diameter) or fork
terminals. Banana jacks are covered for compliance with electrical and connection standards in force in
some countries. Do not remove the plastic covers.
It is essential to connect the loudspeakers using the correct polarity. The connector marked " + " must be
connected to the matching output on the amplifier and the connector marked " - " must be connected
to the negative terminal (fig. B). If the loudspeakers are connected with incorrect polarity there will be
considerable degradation to both the stereo image and the audio perception of bass.
Where to position your loudspeakers
Your Aria K2 936 loudspeakers have been designed to reproduce as faithfully as possible every kind of
music and home cinema programme. Nonetheless, it makes sense to follow some simple rules to optimise
their performance and to guarantee good tonal balance and a realistic sound stage.
The loudspeakers should be positioned symmetrically, facing the listening area, ideally forming an
equilateral triangle with it. It is, however, possible to change these distances to reach the ideal compromise
for any particular conditions (fig. C).
The loudspeakers should be positioned at the same height, in the same horizontal plane. Ideally, the
tweeter should be positioned at the same height as the listener's ear when listening normally (fig. D).
Do not position your loudspeakers too close to a corner of the room and do not place them too close to
a wall. If they are positioned close to a wall or a corner this has the effect of exciting certain resonances
within the room and artificially increasing the bass. Conversely, if the bass level is judged to be insufficient,
you could try moving the loudspeakers nearer a wall to re-balance the bass level (fig. E).
Optimisation
For perfectionists, here is the formula for optimal positioning:
If A is the distance from the centre of the woofer to the nearest floor or wall, B is the distance to the
next closest floor or wall and C the greatest distance (A < B < C), the equation B2 = AC defines the ideal
loudspeaker position.
For example:
If the centre of the woofer is 50 cm away from the back wall (A) and 60 cm from the floor (B), then the
side wall will ideally be 72 cm away (C = B2⁄A = 72 cm) (fig. F).

Recommendations for use
The behaviour of Aria K2 936 loudspeakers depends on the acoustics in the listening room, on the correct
positioning of the loudspeakers within the room and on the position of the listener. It is possible to work
these elements together to correct or improve a desired effect.
Stereo perception is imprecise and poorly centred : try moving the loudspeakers closer to one another
and/or have them facing the listening point
Sound is harsh, aggressive : the acoustic in your listening room probably has too many reverberations.
Consider using sound softening (carpets, upholstered furniture, wall hangings, curtains, etc.) and sound
reflecting materials (furniture) to absorb or diffuse resonance.
Sound is "flat", "strangled": there are too many sound absorbent items in the room, the sound is soaked
up, it has no relief. Look for the best compromise between sound absorbing and sound reflecting materials
in your room.
In general terms, it is good to aim for the wall behind the loudspeakers being reflective for the sound to
develop correctly. The wall behind the listening position, on the other hand, is ideally sound absorbing
to avoid rear reflections "contaminating" the stereo image. Furniture can be judiciously placed near the
side walls of the room to diffuse sound waves and ensure certain frequency zones, particularly in the mid-
range, are not excited ("flutter echo" suppression).
Accessories
Aria K2 936 floorstanding speakers are fitted with spikes on their metal plinth. These can be adjusted
in height using the tool provided. After use, this tool is stored behind the loudspeaker protection grille
(fig. G, H).
Precautions for use
The TNF tweeter uses a relatively flexible Aluminum/Magnesium alloy, with a "shape memory" enabling it
to withstand the majority of small impacts in the home. Nevertheless, we recommend leaving the fabric
grilles in place to protect the dome. If the dome surface is marked this could have an impact on the
tweeter.
Cleaning instructions
The only maintenance required for the Aria K2 936 is dusting with a dry cloth. If the cabinet becomes
marked, we recommend simply using a damp cloth. The glass top-plate can be cleaned using a soft cloth
and a standard glass cleaning product.
Never use solvents, detergents, alcohol-based or corrosive products, scrapers or scourers to clean the
loudspeaker surface.
Keep the loudspeakers away from sources of heat.
Choice of amplifier
It is not an excess of amplifier power that can damage your loudspeakers and drivers but a lack of power.
Moreover, if the volume is turned too high, the amplifier saturates and generates parasite signals that may
destroy the tweeter.
The dynamic capacity and definition of Aria K2 936 loudspeakers are sufficient to show up the strengths
and weaknesses of whatever amplifier is connected. Your retailer will be able to guide your choice, to suit
your tastes and budget.
