5. HOW TO PERFORM A QUICK AND PROPER INSTALLATION The Final Sound loudspeaker system consists of separate products, which can function individually or perform as a complete system. Every product has its own description.
6. FINAL SOUND MODEL F400i CENTER SPEAKER 6.1 What is the function of a Center Speaker? The center channel is the most important channel in a Home Theatre system. Its audio signals deliver critical localization cues to our ears to keep the voices and special effects locked on-screen. The Final Sound flat-panel center speaker is a true line source, with a single speaker element to deliver precise localization. Today’s electrodynamic and hybrid center channel speakers are flawed using multiple drivers.
6.3 How do I start installing the Final Sound Center Speaker safely? Before connecting the center speaker panel, your audio system should be disconnected from the main power supply until you have gone through all steps as explained in this manual. This will avoid the risk of damage to your system while connections are made of broken. The center speaker panel comes with a 12VDC power supply, which has to be connected to the mains.
7. FINAL SOUND F600i FLAT-PANEL FRONT AND REAR SPEAKERS 7.1 What is the function of the Final Sound front and rear speaker panels? The Final Sound flat-panel front speakers are the main channels in a stereo setting and have a dual role in a Home Theater system. The front and rear speakers are used to create ambient effects. In a home cinema setting even actions occurring at the back of the listener will be reproduced.
7.3 How do I install the Final Sound speaker panels safely? The speaker panels are labeled with an L: Left and R: Right code. The Model F600i flat-panel speakers are designed to use as floor-standing loudspeakers. The egg-shaped footplates have to be fixed under the flat-panels by means of the screws (included in the packaging). However Final Sound provides specially designed brackets to mount the speaker-panels on the wall.
8. FINAL SOUND SUBWOOFER 8.1 What is the function of the Final Sound subwoofer? The Final Sound subwoofer is capable to reproduce music signals up to 250 Hz, which is a unique feature and exclusive to the Final Sound concept. This Final Sound Subwoofer is designed to match perfectly with the characteristics of the Final Sound Model F600i flat-panel speakers and belongs with the electronics and its perfect driver to the upper end of the subwoofer range.
8.5 How do I connect the wires? There are various applications and systems where the subwoofer can be used for and therefore there are also various ways how the subwoofer can be connected. The different options are described below to make an easy shift to the applicable audio system possible.
9. CONNECTING THE FINAL SOUND HOME THEATRE SYSTEM For the wiring scheme of the complete Final Sound Model F600i Home Theatre System please have a look at figure 1 at page 16. The wiring scheme of the Final Sound Model F600i Stereo system is represented in figure 2 at page 17. There are 4 different types of connections shown in this figure to get the best performance and functionality from your Home Theater System.
Step 3 Make the necessary connections of the Audio/Video receiver to your Final Sound subwoofer. The Final Sound subwoofer is designed with two uses in mind. It provides bass to the front channels and to the center channel. Therefore both the subwoofer pre-out and the center pre-out on your Audio/Video receiver or multi channel amplifier have to be connected to the (left and right) line-inputs on the Final Sound subwoofer (as shown in Figure 1).

10. GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT FINAL TECHNOLOGY The flat-panel loudspeakers made by Final Sound are speakers with remarkable and unique features. Thanks to many years of research, the Final Sound design and engineering team succeeded in effectively suppressing interfering resonance, thus reducing the resulting distortions to an absolute minimum. The result is an extremely refined and clear sound in which the signal peaks and dynamic extremities are reproduced without any problems.
11.
Could my children, pets, or myself be shocked by the high-voltage present in the flat-panel speakers? No. Whilst your Final Sound loudspeaker systems are indeed connected to a power supply, they have excellent insulation. When you remove your sweater in the winter, its electrostatic charge will be considerably greater than the charge on the diaphragm in a Final Sound speaker. But of course, you should not open the loudspeakers, nor repair them.
What are the roles of the six speakers in a Home Theater System? Your main channels, e.g. the left and right speakers, will handle the larger special effects, the musical score, and any left and right effects. The Center channel will handle almost all the dialogue as well as 60-70% of the main action on the screen. The rear channels are for ambient effects or to recreate different settings, as well as the screen action that is recorded to happen at the rear of the listener.
