cables between your amplifier’s positive output terminal and the two positive (red) terminals on the speaker. Then connect the other two cables between the amp’s negative output terminal and the two negative (black) terminals on the speakers.

If you chose not to bi-wire your speakers, do not remove the metal strips between the speaker terminals. Connect each cable in the standard manner, with one cable each between the positive and negative speaker terminals and your amplifier.

Floor Spikes

Floor spikes may have been provided with your new Phase Technology speakers to steady the speaker cabinets, especially on carpeting and uneven floor surfaces. Because most speakers tend to rock back and forth in small increments due to the force of the in/out motions of speaker drivers, these movements can affect the speakers’ performance.

Attach the floor spikes by screwing them into the pre-drilled holes in the base of the speaker and tighten the nuts securely. The sharp points will penetrate the carpet to make a more solid contract with the underlying floor surface. If your floor is not rigid, the spikes may actually add to the rocking motion, so we recommend you audition the speakers with and without the spikes inserted to see if you discover a personal preference in the sound quality.

Be especially careful when moving speaker cabinets with the spikes attached, as the points could damage carpeting or scratch floors.

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE

Care for Your Speaker Cabinetry

All Phase Technology speakers are finished with a high degree of craftsmanship in either wood veneers or vinyl laminates. We recommend using a fine-quality furniture polish to maintain the long-lasting beauty of weed veneers. Avoid products containing silicones, oils, or oil derivatives. Enclosures finished in vinyl laminates may be cleaned with a damp cloth as necessary.

Some Advice About Amplifiers

If you are considering upgrading your amplifier, we offer this advice: Purchase as much power as your budget permits. It will always be better to have an affordable higher-powered amplifier with fewer “bells and whistles” than a lower powered model straining to operate near its power limits.

Critical questions about your current system – its power ratings, the number of speakers it can drive, future expansion capabilities, and compatibility with multi-channel surround-sound systems – should be directed to your Phase Technology dealer.

SERVICE ISSUES AND WARRANTY

Because of Phase Technology’s uncompromising quality control programs, it’s unlikely that your speakers will ever need service if connected and used as outlined in this Owners’ Manual.

In the unlikely event that a problem does occur, please contact your Phase Technology dealer. Your dealer has the necessary factory-authorized parts and trained technicians to quickly restore your speaker to its original performance specifications. Please refer to the warranty card included with your new Phase Technology loudspeakers.
