frequencies up to 150 Hz; the midrange driver reproduces

the frequencies up to 6.5 kHz. The crossover used in your

AMADIS is a mix of 1

. order between the woofer and

midrange units and 3

. order between the mids and high

frequency units.

Just like all Verity Audio loudspeakers, The AMADIS works

with the room reinforcement characteristics to produce

quick and solid bass performances. Despite its small size,

the AMADIS loudspeaker provides a low frequency

extension down to 20 Hz.

The midrange unit has been optimized for maximum cone

rigidity without breakup resonance. This special unit is

offering a low level of distortion, extended dynamics range,

high-power handling, and simple dividing network.

The tweeter has been specifically designed to give

extended, natural and resonance free reproduction of the

harmonic content of all musical instruments. These units

have been integrated with a very carefully designed

crossover that allows each driver to deliver its full potential.

Moreover, all components used are carefully computer-

matched and indexed to enable optimum sound staging

performance.

Packing and Unpacking

Before they left the factory, your AMADIS cabinets passed

an exhaustive quality control procedure to guaranty their

genuine state. Please observe carefully the following

unpacking instructions for maximum product safety. Once

your AMADIS cabinets will be unpacked, inspect them

carefully for any physical damage. If any transit damage

can be noticed, please notify your dealer immediately and

request the carrier’s name so a written claim can be

initiated.

Your AMADIS comes packed in four ATA (Air

Transportation Association) approved flight cases with all

the necessary protection accessories. For transportation

purposes, we strongly recommend you to keep and store

all your packaging hardware.

Unless the carrier is notified promptly and all the shipping

cases are available for inspection, the right to claim can be

forfeited.

Installation

This section depicts how to assemble and connect the

AMADIS loudspeaker.

To identify a proper location for the installation of your

AMADISs, please refer to the Room Placement section of

this manual or follow the recommendations of your dealer.

Once the speakers are properly installed, connect them to

your amplifier by using quality speaker cables. Make sure

that polarities are respected at both ends and that your

cables are installed in the proper direction. The positive

input is identified by a red dot located on the connector

plate.

For vacuum tube equipment that has multiple output

impedance taps, the four-ohm taps should provide the

best interface with the AMADIS.

Room Placement

Indoors, acoustic intelligibility is of great concern for a

variety of reasons. It requires low background noise levels

and “good” acoustical design. In any room, the reverberant

sound pressure level increases as the acoustic power

increases and decreases as sound absorption in the room

increases and / or sound power flows from the room. The

sound field in a room is composed of two parts, the direct

field and the reverberant field.

The complex theories of physical acoustics, the

uncertainties in predicting the property variations of both

natural and manufactured room materials, and the none

negligible effects of painting, sealing, bracing, furring, and

draping all keep the specification and prediction of room

acoustics from being an exact science. Adding together,

loudspeaker characteristics, the auditory personal taste and

ergonomics make, by practical means, the equation

impossible to solve. The frequent need to evaluate the final

result by listening rather than by purely quantitative

methods gives acoustical tuning a somewhat subjective

aspect.

Nevertheless, knowing what the AMADIS is capable to do

will be your major asset in establishing the best setup for

your loudspeaker. Here are a few simple rules that will

guide you. A good setup will give you fast transients from

bottom-end to top-end, proper image height and a wide

and deep soundstage.

The following guidelines are based on our own experience

with the AMADIS. We recommend you to start with these

and later on (after getting familiar with your AMADIS) bring

Over tightening the connectors could cause

permanent damage.
