Looking After Your Loudspeaker  
Preliminaries  
Your Loudspeakers use a specially sealed finish. They should not be waxed or treated with spray polishes which  
will smear and dim the finish. Occasionally polish them with a dry or barely moist cloth to remove dust and  
finger marks, etc.  
Unpacking Your Loudspeakers  
Diamond 10 loudspeakers come in many shapes and sizes. If you are unpacking the larger loudspeakers or a  
subwoofer, please remember that these units are heavy. We suggest that you have someone to assist you.  
If you play the speakers with the grilles off exercise great care. NEVER operate speakers with the grilles off if there  
are children or pets in the house.  
Lift the loudspeaker carefully out of the packing. Do NOT try and lift the loudspeaker using the protective bag.  
Unpack any accessories carefully.  
Occasionally, remove the loudspeaker grilles and brush them gently with a soft brush before replacing them.  
NEVER use a vacuum cleaner to clean loudspeaker grilles.  
If there is any sign of damage or if the contents are incomplete, report this to your dealer as soon as possible.  
Retain the packing for future safe transport of the product. If you dispose of the packing, do so with respect to any  
recycling provisions in your area.  
NEVER stand objects on your loudspeakers. In particular do not stand flowers etc on them - they are not  
jardinieres!  
Avoid getting any liquid behind the grille. If you accidentally spill liquid on your loudspeakers, take them to your  
dealer for attention before using them again.  
Attaching the Spikes to Floorstanding Models - 10.3, 10.4,10.5, 10.6 and 10.7  
Do not open the speakers; there are no user serviceable parts inside.  
Never touch the drive units either with an object or your hands.  
Make sure you have plenty of unobstructed working space.  
Place a soft cloth on the floor to protect the loudspeaker.  
Invert the loudspeaker onto the cloth.  
Quality Assurance  
Thread a locknut onto each spike and loosely run it up the thread  
Thread the spikes onto the spike inserts. Tighten them finger tight.  
Your loudspeakers have been constructed to the highest standards. From the top grade furniture construction and  
finish to the carefully designed and selected acoustic components our speakers are built to provide a lifetime of  
sonic pleasure. We hope you will derive many years of good service from our products.  
Invert the loudspeaker. Be careful not to damage the floor with the  
spikes.  
Servicing

Delay and LFE Settings  
Cables and Connectors  
Choosing Loudspeaker Cable  
The purpose of delay is to enable surround and dialogue information to arrive at the listener’s ears at the same time  
as the Front channels, even when the listening seat is in a non-ideal position.  
Specialist audio cable usually offers better performance than general purpose ‘bellor ‘zipwire.  
Rear Delay: If the listening position is equidistant from the Front and Rear speakers, a low delay setting should be  
Choose a cable of suitable diameter – cable that is too thin will limit the dynamics of the sound and may impair the  
bass response. Audio cable is polarised, with two cores of different colours, or often a raised rib or coloured tracer in  
the case of twin cable. Before you purchase your cable, give careful thought to the positioning of your loudspeakers.  
This is especially the case if you are bi-wiring your loudspeakers.  
set. The closer the listener is to the Rear speakers the higher should be the delay setting used.  
Centre Delay: If the Centre speaker is level with (or slightly behind) the Front speakers, set the delay to zero. If the  
Centre speaker is forward of the Front speakers, increase the delay.  
Cable lengths to loudspeaker pairs should be the same for left and right channels in order to equalise the signal  
transmission. Allow some slack in your speaker cables so you can alter their position to best advantage.  
LFE: In domestic systems the LFE channel typically feeds into the subwoofer. Where no subwoofer is used, the LFE  
signal is combined with Front Channel information. When you set the LFE level at your AV processor, use care as the  
powerful low frequencies can overload domestic loudspeakers. If you hear popping or thumping noises coming  
from the front loudspeakers or subwoofer, immediately turn the AV Processor's volume level down and then back off  
the LFE level. This should cure the problem. If it does not, back off the volume level at the subwoofer (if you are using  
one) until the problem disappears.  
10mm  
Preparing Loudspeaker Cable  
Split the twin cores to a depth of about 40mm. Carefully strip the insulation from each  
end, leaving about 10mm of bare wire. If the cable is stranded, lightly twist to gather  
any loose strands.  
40mm  
Please read the relevant sections of your AV amplifier manual and familiarise yourself with the various issues. If you  
are unsure, consult your dealer for help.  
Connecting Screw Terminals  
All the loudspeakers use screw terminals.  
Unscrew the terminal. Insert the bare end of the cable into the hole in the base of the  
terminal. Tighten securely.  
Troubleshooting  
When connecting terminals make sure you leave no strands of bare wire that can  
short across to adjacent terminals.  
If your system is not working properly please work through this checklist before returning a unit to your dealer.  
Before investigating a problem, always switch off the system at the mains.  
As an alternative to bare wire you can use specialist spade connectors. Your  
Wharfedale dealer will be pleased to advise you.  
No Sound:  
The system is not switched on. Speaker cables are shorting terminals out. The wrong source is selected.  
The sound lacks bass content: Bass reproduction indistinct:  
The front loudspeakers are out of phase. The subwoofer is not switched on.  
The subwoofer phase is incorrectly set. The subwoofer crossover control is set too low.  
Crossover Networks  
Excessive bass distortion at low volumes:  
The subwoofer level is set too high. The LFE level is set too high. The subwoofer is incorrectly wired.

Bi-Wireable Networks  
Most speakers in the Diamond 10 series use a special bi-wireable crossover panel  
with four terminal binding posts. Please follow the drawing carefully to see the  
correct orientation of the loudspeaker terminals. The upper terminals connect to  
the treble unit, the lower pair to the bass unit. As supplied, the treble terminal pair  
is connected to the bass terminal pair via removable metal straps. These should be  
left in place for standard installations.

Popping or thumping from the subwoofer:

Why Bi-Wire?  
Indistinct sound: Poor localisation of effects. Poor localisation of dialogue.  
Using separate cables for treble and bass units in a Bi-Wiring configuration reduces intermodulation effects and  
improves headroom and clarity. To bi-wire, you will need to install two lengths of twin core cable between the  
amplifier and each loudspeaker.  
One or more loudspeakers is out of phase. (Read the manual for correct connection procedure).  
Television picture colour is distorted: (Conventional CRT screens only)  
The subwoofer is too close to the TV. (Switch off the system and TV. Move the units apart. Switch on after 15 min.).

Positioning the Front Loudspeakers  
Setting Up a Home Theatre System  
Some of this chapter may appear to repeat the content of the Subwoofer pages - the context however is different.  
The 10.3, 10.4,10.5, 10.6 and 10.7 models are designed to be floor standing. We suggest that they are positioned at least 200  
mm from the rear walls and 700 mm from the side walls, facing slightly inwards. The 10.1, and 10.2 models should be stand  
or wall mounted though they may be placed on a rigid shelf. The 10.0 model can be stand or wall mounted. The bass  
extension will improve if the small speakers are operated closer to the rear wall.  
Placement  
Front And Effects Channels: The front loudspeakers are placed on either side of the television screen, 2 to 3 metres  
If the loudspeakers are placed too close to the walls the bass will increase but may be boomy and indistinct. If the  
loudspeakers are placed away from the walls, the inward angle may be increased by up to 40%, although this may  
restrict the width of the optimum listening position.  
apart. The speakers should be angled slightly so they are aimed towards the listeners.  
We recommend placing the rear effects speakers in a high position, behind the listener’s head. If the rear or side  
walls are a long way from the listening seat, consider stand mounting the loudspeakers. If the centre loudspeaker is  
very high or low, angle it towards the listener's ear level. The front faces of the centre and surround loudspeakers  
should also be in line as far as possible.  
A useful rule of thumb is that the listener should be as far from the loudspeakers as they are from each other. The  
speakers should ideally be positioned so that the treble units are roughly at ear level to a seated listener. As personal  
taste plays a large role, experiment with different configurations and play a wide range of programmes before  
finalising the position of your speakers.  
Subwoofer: As the ear is unable to detect the direction from which deep bass originates, you have freedom to  
position the unit. Varying the distance from the wall alters the bass. Placing the subwoofer across a corner boosts  
the bass but may impair clarity. The performance of Home Theatre systems is enhanced by using two subwoofers.  
2 - 4 metres  
6.1 and 7.1 System Placement  
Dolby Labs, DTS and THX offer 6.1 and 7.1 formats. Although the precise configuration of these systems will depend  
on the capabilities of your processor and you should be guided by those instructions, we would make some  
observations.  
10.0 - 10.2  
>50 mm  
>0.7metre  
10.3 - 10.7  
>200 mm  
For 6.1 and 7.1 formats the listening seat should not be too close to the rear wall.  
Optimising the time delay so that information from all speakers arrives at the listening seat coherently is critical if  
the benefits of these systems are to be fully realised.

Positioning the Centre Loudspeaker  
The Centre channel loudspeaker should be positioned centrally between the loudspeakers, close to the television  
and mounted above or below the screen.  
The loudspeaker should be located on a stable flat surface to avoid  
any cabinet movement at high sound levels. If you mount the unit  
above the television, move it forward so that the front grille sits  
slightly in front of the screen. This will reduce sound reflections  
from the screen and the top of the cabinet.

Centre channel speakers are supplied with a set of four self  
adhesive mounting feet and two extra feet. Remove the protective  
backing from four feet. Place the feet at the bottom of the cabinet.  
Attach each foot 10 mm in from the sides of the cabinet and place  
them so that the cabinet is supported in a horizontal position with  
the curve of the cabinet clear of the shelf. The extra feet enable  
you to tilt the cabinet up or down so that the speaker points  
directly at the listening position. This facility is particularly useful if  
the speaker is mounted under the screen.

Setting Loudspeaker Sizes and Levels  
If you are not using a subwoofer: Set the Front Speakers to ‘Large. Set the ‘Subwooferoption on the processor to  
'Off' or ‘No'. The Front channels will now receive all the system bass.  
If you are using a subwoofer: When set to ‘Smallall the system bass will go into the subwoofer. If you choose  
‘Largethe Front channel bass will be reproduced from the Front speakers. Follow the instructions on the previous  
page for suitable size and crossover settings.  
A custom stand is available for the D10 CM which allows the  
loudspeaker to be positioned under a wall mounted monitor and  
has an adjustable vertical tilt for optimal dispersion.  
Once the loudspeaker settings have been finalised, put the AV amplifier into its “Testmode and adjust the level of  
each channel until all channels are reproduced at equal loudness. You may need to adjust the subwoofer output  
level. Avoid setting too high a level or you will swamp the sound with bass which be tiring to listen to and may limit  
the subwoofer’s ability to respond to large bass transients. Set a sensible level going into the subwoofer. The  
subwoofer volume control should be between 12 o’clock and 3 o’clock

Positioning Surround Loudspeakers  
Fine Tuning Procedures  
Set up the subwoofer with all tone controls and filters on your amplifier or processor set ‘flat’.  
D10 DFS Surround Loudspeakers  
220 mm  
The speakers should ideally be sited 600 mm-1.5 metres above the listening position and 2.5-3.5  
metres apart, central to the listener and behind the listening position, preferably on a rear wall. If  
the listening position is some distance from a rear wall, the speakers may be mounted on opposite  
side walls but always behind the listening position.  
Listening rooms are not ideal. Because of room geometry and construction there will be areas with severe peaks at  
some frequencies and severe troughs at others. If you site loudspeakers in such areas the response will be highly  
non-flat. It is easier to treat high frequency irregularities by the use of drapes, soft furnishings etc., but very hard to  
do the same at bass frequencies due to the very long wavelengths.  
Ensure that the wall is sound and can support the product. Drill two 5mm holes in the wall 220mm  
apart. Fix a suitable No 8 round head screw firmly into each hole using appropriate wall plugs.  
Leave a stub of 5mm protruding from the wall.  
To help locate standing waves in your listening room, one idea is to sit in the listening seat and recruit a friend with a  
deep voice to speak as he moves around the area where you propose to site your subwoofer - you will soon find out  
where notto site it! Where the voice sounds most natural is a good place to start.  
Connect the loudspeakers. Align the holes in the mounting brackets over the screw and carefully  
lower the unit onto the screws. The speaker should now be securely attached with the spacers  
resting against the wall. Now connect the speakers to the amplifier.  
Although the subwoofer's bass output is enhanced by walls or corners, so often is coloration. The floor will influence  
the sound. The surface under the subwoofer should be stable and unobstructed. If the carpet is very thick, consider  
placing the subwoofer on a solid surface such as a marble slab. If you place the subwoofer where it amplifies the  
irregularities of the room or the main speakers the result will be bloated, coloured bass. If acoustic guitar and male  
voice sounds coloured when the subwoofer is operating at normal level and less coloured if the subwoofer volume  
is reduced, you need to address the positioning first before adjusting any controls.

Loudspeaker Phasing: Make sure that all loudspeakers are connected in phase. If there is a doubt about the way  
the loudspeakers are connected, check their phasing by playing a mono source - the sound should appear from a  
point midway between the front loudspeakers. If this position is indefinite, reverse the connections to one speaker.  
Correctly connected loudspeakers give a definite centre sound source with fuller bodied tenor and bass registers.

Setting the Phase of the Subwoofer: Phase at very low frequencies is not straightforward to detect. Initially we  
suggest you temporarily set the low pass filter to highest setting and the phase to 0º and play some bass heavy music in Stereo  
through the main speakers and the subwoofer. From the listening position, switch the phase between 0º and 180º. The  
setting which appears to give the greater bass output is correct. Now follow the instructions below for setting the  
Crossover filter.

Setting Loudspeaker Sizes: Most digital AV Processors ask you to specify the size of speakers in the various

channels. These are usually ‘Largeor ‘Small. This sets the bass management for the system.  
Front Loudspeakers: The larger loor standing loudspeakers (10.4,10.5, 10.6 and 10.7) can be set to 'Large'. Smaller  
loudspeakers (including stand mounted units) should be set to 'Small' The 10.3 should be set to small. If the bass is  
excessive, then set the loudspeaker to ‘Large’.  
D10 SR Surround Loudspeakers  
Before mounting the loudspeakers, establish the location using the same criteria as for the D10. DFS.  
Centre and Surround channels: The D10. CM centre channel speaker should be set to ‘LARGE. The other centre  
channel speakers and the surround channel speakers should be set to ‘SMALLso that bass from these channels will  
be directed to the subwoofer. Set the ‘Subwooferoption on the processor to 'Onor 'Yes'.  
The D10 SR is supplied with four mounting feet for shelf or stand mounting.  
The terminal panel has a built in mounting slot for wall fixing.  
Wall mounting the D10 SR:  
Crossover Control: If you are using a digital AV processor the initial subwoofer setting should be 85Hz as the  
processor will have its own bass management system. After experimenting with various sources you may need to  
adjust the Subwoofer Crossover settings. Try to ensure the subwoofer blends into the sound stage - the more  
invisible the subwoofer component of the sound field is, the better.  
Ensure the wall is sound and can easily support the weight of the loudspeakers. Drill and fix a No. 8  
screw and suitable wall plug at each chosen location. The screw should protrude about 5mm from the  
wall. Connect the cable to the speaker. Align the keyhole slot over the screw. Pull gently down to secure  
the speaker.  
Setting levels: Once the loudspeaker settings have been finalised, put the AV amplifier into its “Testmode (see  
instructions supplied with your processor.) Adjust the levels until all channels are reproduced at equal loudness.  
Alternative 5.1 System Layouts with D10 SR Surrounds  
When adjusting the subwoofer output level avoid setting too high a level or you will swamp the sound with bass  
which be tiring to listen to and may limit the subwoofer’s ability to respond to large bass transients. Set a sensible  
level going intothe subwoofer from the processor.

Basic Tuning  
Volume Setting: Play a programme with extended bass and set the system volume to a reasonable level. Adjust the  
subwoofer volume control to produce the desired level of bass. The bass should be even and an extension of the  
main loudspeakers. Do not set the control too high or you will swamp the sound with too much bass and clarity and  
definition will suffer.  
RIGHT SPEAKER  
LEFT SPEAKER  
BI-WIRED CONNECTION  
Phase Switch: If the bass is indistinct or lacks depth, the Phase switch may need adjustment. Set the switch to 0º  
and listen carefully to some music with extended bass. If there is insufficient bass output from the sub-woofer set the  
Phase switch to 180º. Select the position which produces the most natural, extended bass.  
Bi-Wiring  
HF+  
Using separate cables for treble and bass units in a Bi-Wiring  
configuration reduces intermodulation effects and improves  
headroom and clarity. To bi-wire, you will need to install two  
equal lengths of twin core cable between the amplifier and  
each loudspeaker.  
HF+  
Crossover Adjustment. This adjusts the blend between the subwoofer and the main speakers. and enables the  
system to be set up for optimum bass performance. The higher settings are for use with small bookshelf  
loudspeakers, the lower settings for large floorstanding models. If you choose too low a setting with small speakers,  
there will be a ‘holein the bass response; too high a setting with large speakers will result in the upper bass  
becoming bloated. See the next section for further details.

Mains Operation  
When the system is not in use for extended periods, we suggest you switch off the subwoofer to protect it from  
switching noises caused by domestic appliances, etc. The best practice is to switch the complete system on and off  
from a central point. Bear in mind that if you play the system with the subwoofer switched off you will get no bass!

Autopower Switch. (Diamond 10. SX-SUB, 10.MX-SUB). If the subwoofer is left permanently on this may result in  
low level hum or noise from the subwoofer when the rest of the system is switched off. Setting the AUTO switch to  
ON will automatically turn the subwoofer on when a signal is detected at any of the inputs and turn it off (Standby  
Mode) after a period of inactivity. We recommend that the AUTO switch be set to ON for normal operation.

Introduction  
DIAMOND 10. GX-SUB REAR PANEL  
Wharfedale subwoofers are intended for use with high quality domestic sound systems. They are equally effective in  
Stereo and Home Cinema applications. Your subwoofer will probably be used in conjunction with Wharfedale  
loudspeakers though they will partner any audiophile or top-quality home cinema amplification and loudspeakers.

Although the unit may be placed almost anywhere in the room, we recommend that it be placed in front of the  
listener and as central to the listening position as possible. There should be a mains outlet within easy reach. The  
subwoofer should not be operated within 450mm of a television set as the drive unit magnet may distort the picture.  
The bass unit is mounted underneath the subwoofer and moves a lot of air at high volume, so make sure the floor is  
sound. Do not place the subwoofer with the bass port near surfaces or objects that may rattle.  
We suggest you initially position the subwoofer about 20cm (8 inches) from the wall. Placing the unit close to the  
wall will enhance the bass; placing it across the corner of the room will increase the bass further, possibly at the  
expense of clarity.

Switch off your amplifier and all connected source units at the mains. Unplug the power cords if necessary.  
Make sure the subwoofer is disconnected from the mains and that the ON/OFF switch is OFF.  
Before re-connecting your system to the AC power supply, check that all the connections are properly made.  
Signal cables should be properly terminated and fully screened to minimise hum. If you connect your subwoofer  
via the low level signal inputs, the cable between your control unit or processor and the subwoofer could be  
quite long so screening is particularly important. Consult your dealer if in doubt.  
MANUFACTURE DATE:  
All three subwoofers feature the same connectivity.  
The 10. MX-Sub has one additional feature - a USB power supply 1! for charging the internal battery of an  
optional wireless receiver. This receiver enables a Subwoofer to receive signals from a suitably equipped AV  
amplifier or processor without the need for a signal input interconnect. Consult your Wharfedale dealer for details.
