User Manual Phi3 PhiS amp Phi6 MKII Speakers www gamutaudio com INTRODUCTION The materials and constructions chosen for a GamuT product will make it last a life time and give you years of musical enjoyment Thank you for choosing a GamuT product With an optimized production setup we can now offer this exquisite strong and inert enclosure solution for music lover to enjoy outstanding performance from real world priced speakers Having the new improved sonic foundation from the laminated form pressed enclosure we have done our utmost to optimize other components used to obtain an absolute maximum of performance We designed a new woofer and midrange driver based on a wood fiber cone structure using a size optimized inverted spike dust cap a low distorting magnet system using aluminum shorting rings and a dynamic linear suspension We finished off the performance by hand doping the cones with our proprietary organic leather oil treatment first used for our El Superiores mid woofer drivers Our tweeter is our well known dual ring tweeter now taken to new heights by an optimized version of the NRLI network The NRLI network is assuring seem less integration between the woofers midrange and tweeter by creating a Non Resonant perfectly Linked Impulse reproduction NRLI We also optimized the internal acoustics The new less resonant character of the enclosure lets us minimize the use of acoustic dam2. multiplications of 6 months before they reach their optimum performance 1 2 fractions of the room dimensions l e the position During the run in period the final positioning of the where the room length width and height is divided speaker cannot be determined as the bass character will with 2 4 8 16 etc The obvious solution is to avoid change Please also allow time for the mid and tweeter these positions by positioning the speaker in un even character to fall into place fractions of the room dimensions m The preferred divisions of room dimensions are 1 3 2 7 1 5 amp 1 7 see the diagram below Example Measurements Results Divided Divided 2x Divided x 3x by 7 by 5 divided by 3 divided divided by 7 by 5 by 7 Measurements Results Divided Divided 2x Divided 2x 3x by 7 by 5 divided by 3 divided divided by 7 by 5 by 7 4 Phi MKII User Manual Phi3 PhiS amp Phi6 MKII Speakers m The process to calculate is to draw your room with measured dimensions and draw lines with the specified divisions of the dimensions both length and width wise Choose the positions that exceed the minimum require ments for clearance to the walls and allows the mini mum spacing between the speakers Speaker Width 5 2x Width 7 4 Length 7 2 x Length 7 Length 5 Where each of the measured lines cross you have a possible speaker position m Tilting Optimizing the midrange character Use
