Victa floorstanders: at least 20 cm away from the rear wall and at least 30 cm from the
side walls. This will prevent excessive emphasis of the bass range.
Victa bookshelf speakers: shelf loudspeakers should also be as free-standing as
possible, the distance to the sides and rear to walls and items should be at least 10 cm,
the tweeters should be located at ear height.
Spikes (Victa floorstanders): you should use the supplied spikes when setting the
speakers up. This isolates them from the supporting surface, preventing unpleasant
resonance effects. You can choose between metal and hard rubber spikes for the
standing speakers. The spikes are screwed into the threaded bushes on the bottom of
the speaker.
HECO VICTA LOUDSPEAKERS AS A FRONT OR REAR LOUDSPEAKER
The front loudspeakers are positioned at ear height on the left and right as equidistant
from the television as possible. The rear loudspeakers are placed at ear height or a little
above on the left and right besides or better behind the listening position. (Fig. 3)
HECO VICTA 700, 500, 300 – BI-WIRING AND BI-AMPING
Bi-wiring means using separate cables to carry the high and low audio frequencies. Bi-
amping takes this idea one step further and uses separate power amplifiers as well as
separate cables for high and low frequencies. Bi-amping in particular produces an
additional improvement in sound reproduction quality.
The special connection terminals of the Victa loudspeakers support both conventional
connection and operation in bi-wiring and bi-amping modes. There are four screw
terminals on each speaker. The top pair are for the tweeter (high frequencies), the lower
pair for the woofer (low frequencies). The factory-installed metal strips connecting the
positive and negative terminals are for conventional 2-wire connection and must be
removed for bi-wiring and bi-amping operation. The pictures below show the correct set-
up for conventional operation (Fig. 4a), bi-wiring (Fig. 4b) and bi-amping (Fig. 4c).
HECO VICTA CENTER 100
The Victa Center 100 loudspeaker visually and acoustically ideally matches the other
Victa models. The loudspeaker is placed immediately on or under the television set.
Otherwise please adhere to the general recommendations outlined in the previous
chapters.
