UNPACKING
The easiest way to remove the speaker from its carton is to turn the open side of the box
down so that it is resting on a table or the floor, with the flaps spread out and away. Then
pull the box straight up and off. Remove any packing material from the speaker and grille,
place it back in the carton, and store in case you ever need to ship the loudspeaker. Align
the magnetic posts on the inside of the grille with the screws on the front of the speaker
and it will snap into place.
PLACEMENT
Center the speaker directly above or below your video screen. If necessary, you can place
the speaker on a floor stand in front of and below the screen that elevates it to the correct
height. Ideally, however, the speaker’s front baffle should be flush with the front of the
screen. (See Figure 1.)
If the speaker is well above or below the ear height of seated listeners, you can improve
performance by angling it slightly to compensate. Included with the speaker is an adjustable
foot that you can screw into one of two threaded inserts on the bottom of the cabinet. To tilt
the speaker down, install the foot in the insert near the back of the cabinet; to tilt it up,
install the foot in the one near the front of the cabinet. After adjusting the amount of tilt,
gently snug on the supplied jamb nut to secure the foot’s position. Cover any unused
threaded holes with the supplied flat, self stick rubber pads. Attach the dome shaped,
self-stick pads on the bottom of the cabinet for shelf protection. (See Figure 2.)
CONNECTIONS
Note: Proper connection of your speakers to your amplifier or receiver is vital to obtaining
good sound quality. Please follow these directions carefully. Sloppy connections can cause
amplifier malfunction or damage.
