Unpacking

SR-1 Owner’s Manual

Caution: These boxes are heavy and require two people using proper lifting techinques and care when unpacking.

Your SR-1 system comes double boxed with each cabinet in it’s own double box. Within the double box, each speaker sits in rigid foam top and bottom trays. We do not suggest that you attempt to separate inner and outer boxes.

Starting with the two large boxes: Carefully cut the tape securing the top end-flap on the outer box. Repeat for the inner box. If you have done this correctly you will now be looking at the bottom of the speaker, the lower foam tray and a box of hardware containing 4 feet and a jumper cable. Remove and retain the foam tray for future use.

Once the bottom tray is removed, install the four leveling feet with the protective washers between the feet and cabinet. The “no-mar” washers are essential to protect the wood surfaces of the cabinet from the anodized surface of the leveling feet.

Once the feet are installed, unpack the large (bass) cabinet by tilting the packing on it’s side first and then titling so the bass cabinet is resting on it’s feet. At this time lift the outer and inner boxes straight up and off of the speaker. Retain these boxes as storage containers for all additional SR-1 packing materials. Remove and retain the top tray and foam sock. Now place the bass cabinet aas close to the intended and final location. Once the smaller top cabinet is in place further movement other than minor positional changes of the large cabinet will not be convenient.

The top cabinet will be unpacked in a similar fashion. Carefully cut the tape securing the tops of the outer and inner boxes. Once the boxes are open you should again be viewing the bottom surface of the cabinet and a box of hardware.

The smaller top cabinets require that the user install several pieces of adjustment and dress hardware. All of these pieces will be installed
