4344 MK 11 Manual 7/21/98 3:18 PM Page 4 Mid-Frequency Transducer The 4344MkII also features a 10" (254mm) mid-frequency transducer. The voice coil is 3" (76mm) in diameter and wound on edge from flat ™ copper ribbon wire on a thermoset composite form. Its very high-power capability and freedom from breakup make it an ideal midrange in a system that is designed to play at high levels with absolutely no signs of distress. It makes the transition from the woofer at 340Hz, providing excellent res

4344 MK 11 Manual 7/21/98 3:18 PM Page 5 Dividing Networks The job of the dividing network is to distribute the various frequencies to their respective transducers. The network is also designed to complement component location on the baffle. Slopes are chosen to match the exact response of each driver in its respective frequency range, as well as to ensure that the high-frequency transducers are adequately protected from dangerous low-frequency components. For the 4344MkII system, we chose our

The height, at the bottom of the Lens assembly, should be at ear level. The two 3' 3' speakers should be equidistant from your primary listening position; the 10 – 15 10 – 15 distance should be determined by the distance between the speakers. We recommend that the angle between the speakers, at the listening position, be between 45° t

4344 MK 11 Manual 7/21/98 3:18 PM Page 9 Bi-Wiring The 4344MkII’s outer connection panel and internal dividing network are designed so that separate sets of speaker cable can be attached to the low-frequency transducer and midrange/high-frequency transducer portions of the dividing network. This is called bi-wiring. Bi-wiring can provide several sonic advantages and considerably more flexibility in power amplifier selection. The advantages of bi-wiring are as follows: Reduction of Intermodulati

4344 MK 11 Manual 7/21/98 3:18 PM Page 11 Figure 9 Bi-Amp Connecting Method Bi-Amping Connections AMP The optimal method of powering the 4344MkII system is with two NORMAL/ BI-WIRE amplifiers, one for low frequencies and one for the mid/high frequencies. It is necessary to use a high-quality active crossover module. Since each amplifier only drives a limited frequency range, this method allows the user to select amplifiers with the desired sonic character for low and high frequencies. Make sur

4344 MK 11 Manual 7/21/98 3:18 PM Page 12 Maintenance and Service The 4344MkII loudspeaker systems have an oiled finish. Cleaning should be done with an untreated dust cloth. Do not use conventional furniture waxes and polishes, which are not designed for oiled finishes. If touch-up is necessary or the finish appears to be drying out, the surface may be re-oiled with a commercially available oil-finishing preparation. Do not use any solvents on the finish. The grille may be gently vacuumed. Stain
