Unpacking

then we say sit back and enjoy the “SR-2” Loudspeaker for what it does. If you want to enjoy the equipment we say sit back and enjoy the “SR-2” for all the things it lets you do.

Your SR-2 system comes double boxed with each cabinet in it’s own pack. Within the double box, each speaker sits in rigid foam top and bottom trays that facilitate unpacking by a single person. We do not suggest that you attempt to separate inner and outer boxes.

Starting with the two large boxes, arrows on the box pointing up: Carefully cut the tape securing the flaps on the outer box. Open outer box and repeat for the inner box. Carefully open both of the boxes exposing the upper and lower foam trays containing the speakers.

At this point you should be viewing speakers in their normal upright position. They may be unpacked inverted, but are more stable if upright at this point.

Grasp the bottom foam tray and slide the tray, with speaker out of the double box. Remove the top tray and cloth sock, exercising caution so as to not damage the speakers grill covers in this process.

Place top tray next to SR-2 cabinet. Lay speaker on its side, balancing the cabinet squarely upon the top tray, cushioned and protected against scuffing by the cloth sock. With the speaker on it’s side, level and balanced upon the top tray remove the bottom foam tray.
