Founded in 1966, B&W has always striven for perfect sound reproduction in its products. To this end, the company has invested heavily in research and development in order to maintain its position at the forefront of acoustic design. Through the years, B&W has introduced many advanced features and techniques. Although many of these have been developed initially for the more expensive models, our “waterfall” design policy has seen them incorporated, wherever possible, elsewhere in the product range. Features to be found in the CDM™NT Series include cabinets with contoured edges to reduce sound diffraction (the radiation of sound waves from sharp edges that interfere with and blur the direct sound from the drive units). An integral part of the CDM™NT range is the use of Kevlar® cone bass/midrange drive units for lowest coloration and maximum definition. The treble units incorporate Nautilus™ tube technology, which eliminates resonances behind the dome diaphragm. It is important to spend time setting up the speakers, as care spent on the installation process will reap the reward of many hours of listening pleasure. Reading this manual fully will help you obtain the best from your audio system. B&W distributes to over 65 countries worldwide and maintains a network of dedicated distributors who will be able to help should you have any problems your dealer cannot resolve. Their mailing addresses can be found on the web site or by calling B&W direct. UNPACKING (Figure 1) • Fold the carton flaps right back and invert the carton and contents. • Lift the carton clear of the contents. • Remove the inner packing from the product. We suggest you retain the packing for future use. Check in the carton for: • 2 Foam bungs. • 8 Self-adhesive rubber pads • 1 International warranty booklet. POSITIONING (Figure 2a) Mount the speakers on firm dedicated stands that place the tweeters approximately at ear level. Bookshelf mounting is possible but alows less opportunity for optimising the sound. The shelf or stand used will affect the sound quality of the speaker. The B&W FS-CDM stand is designed to fit the CDM™1NT and is recommended. As an initial guide: • Position the speakers and the centre of the listening area approximately at the corners of an equilateral triangle. • Keep the speakers at least 1.5m apart to maintain left-right separation. Stray magnetic fields The speaker drive units create stray magnetic fields that extend beyond the boundaries of the cabinet. We recommend you keep magnetically sensitive articles (television and computer screens, computer discs, audio and video tapes, swipe cards and the like) at least 0.5m from the speaker. CONNECTIONS (Figure 3) All connections should be made with the equipment switched off. There are 2 pairs of terminals at the back of the speaker which permit bi-wiring if desired. On delivery, the separate pairs are connected together with high-quality links for use with a single 2-core cable. For single cable connection, leave the links in place and use either pair of terminals on the speaker. Ensure the positive terminal on the speaker (marked + and coloured red) is connected to the positive output terminal of the amplifier and negative (marked – and coloured black) to negative. Incorrect connection can result in poor imaging and loss of bass. To bi-wire, remove the links by loosening the terminal caps and use a separate 2-core cable from the amplifier to each pair of terminals. This can improve the resolution of low-frequency detail. Observe the correct polarity as before. When bi-wiring, incorrect connection can also impair the frequency response. Ask your dealer for advice when choosing cable. Keep the total impedance below the maximum recommended in the specification and use a low inductance cable to avoid attenuation of the highest frequencies. FINE TUNING Before fine tuning, make sure that all the connections in the installation are correct and secure. Moving the speakers further from the walls will reduce the general level of bass. Space behind the speakers also helps to create an impression of depth. Conversely, moving the sp...
