Preliminaries

Unpacking Your Loudspeakers

Lift the loudspeaker carefully out of the packing. Do NOT try and lift the loudspeaker using the protective bag.

Unpack any accessories carefully.

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.

Attaching the Spikes to Floorstanding Models - 10.3, 10.4,10.5, 10.6 and 10.7

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.

Thread a locknut onto each spike and loosely run it up the thread

Thread the spikes onto the spike inserts. Tighten them ﬁnger tight.

Invert the loudspeaker. Be careful not to damage the ﬂoor with the spikes.

Levelling the Loudspeakers

When the speaker is upright: You will probably ﬁnd that the speaker

will wobble with one spike not contacting the ﬂoor. Adjust this spike until all four spikes are on the ﬂoor.

	With the aid of a spirit level move each spike in and out until the loudspeaker is
	level and sitting squarely on all four spikes with no rocking.
	Now tighten each locknut securely against the collar in the plinth

The 10.1 and 10.2 louderspeakers are intended primarily for stand mounting, though they can be mounted on wall brackets or even on sturdy shelves. The quality of louderspeaker stands greatly inﬂuences the performance of your loudspeakers so do not use ﬂimsy products.

The 10.0 may be stand or wall mounted.The rear panel has a threaded insert for attaching a pair of suitable wall brackets.

Centre Channel Loudspeakers

Each centre channel loudspeaker is supplied with two sets of mounting feet. By using a combination oﬂ arge and small feet the loudspeaker may be angled to point directly at the listening position. This will be found useful when the centre speaker is positioned under theTV screen.

Surround Loudspeakers

These speakers are designed primarily for wall mounting, though they may be stand or shelf mounted if required. Please	Page 3
see Page 7.

Looking After Your Loudspeaker

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.

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.

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.

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.

Do not open the speakers; there are no user serviceable parts inside.

Never touch the drive units either with an object or your hands.
