Note for UK users When replacing the fuse in the supplied moulded mains plug, always refit the integral fuse holder/cover. Always fit a 3 amp fuse either in the plug or adapter, or at the distribution board. If the supplied mains plug is not suitable for your mains socket, remove its fuse and cut the plug off the lead. Destroy the severed plug immediately to avoid the potential shock hazard if this were plugged into a mains socket.
Introduction The Ultimate 3D Speaker System Thank you for buying Sirocco Crossfire. Based on the award-winning Sirocco studio-quality speaker system, Sirocco Crossfire uses high-quality pro-audio techniques and components to produce a complete PC entertainment speaker system with sound quality comparable to high-end hi-fi.
Connecting Speakers to amplifier Connect the speakers and subwoofer as shown below. Use the longer, 8 metre cables for the rear satellites, and the shorter, 2 metre cables for the front speakers and the subwoofer. On all speakers, connect the all-black cables to the black (-) terminals, and the cables with the white stripe to the red (+) terminals. The subwoofer connects to the Sub terminal.
Source to amplifier You can connect up to three sources to Sirocco Crossfire: one full 3D positional or surround sound source, and two stereo sources. 3D or surround sound Source 1 is the 3D sound source. This could be a PC with a 4channel audio card for 3D positional sound, such as VideoLogic’s SonicVortex2, or a home cinema surround sound decoder such as VideoLogic’s DigiTheatre Decoder.
Positioning General Here are some general rules of thumb you can use for positioning Sirocco Crossfire’s units. They are only recommendations – the keyword is ‘experiment’, until you have a set-up and a sound you like. Amplifier The amplifier fits neatly on top of the subwoofer, but if you want to place it somewhere else, make sure it is well-ventilated. Try to put it on a hard, even surface such as your desk, or a hi-fi stand.
Using the amplifier Source selects which source you want to use. • If you’re using a PC for 3D positional gaming, or a surround sound decoder for home cinema, select source 1. • If you’re using a full-size unit, such as a CD player, select source 2. • If you’re using a line-level device that has a 3.5mm jack output, such as a portable CD or MiniDisc player, select Source 3. This is where you plug in your headphones. When you insert the headphone jack, the speakers are muted.
Troubleshooting Solving the problem These are some of the most likely reasons for problems you might have with Sirocco Crossfire. I can’t get any sound. Make sure that the amplifier and audio source are: • switched on. • connected properly. • producing sound. Listen through headphones to confirm this. If you have connected Sirocco Crossfire to a PC sound card, make sure the Windows volume control isn’t set to mute, by doubleclicking the speaker icon on your Windows taskbar.
