Before you start

The nominal impedance of this speaker system is 6 .

Connect the speaker system to an amplifier with a load impedance ranging from 4 to 16 (a model with “4 to 16 ” displayed on the speaker output terminals).

In order to prevent damage to the speaker system resulting from input overload, please observe the following precautions:

Do not supply power to the speaker system in excess of the maximum permissible input.

When using a graphic equalizer to emphasize loud sounds in the high-frequency range, do not use excessive amplifier volume.

Do not try to force a low-powered amplifier to produce loud volumes of sound (the amplifier’s harmonic distortion will be increased, and you may damage the speaker).

Caution: installation

When placing this unit, ensure that it is firmly secured and avoid areas where it may be likely to fall and cause injury in the event of a natural disaster (such as an earthquake).

Do not attach these speakers to the wall or ceiling. They may fall off and cause injury.

Do not install your speakers overhead on the ceiling or wall. If improperly attached, the speaker grille can fall and cause damage or personal injury.

Switch off and unplug your AV equipment and consult the instructions when connecting up components. Make sure you use the correct connecting cables.

Caution: in use

Do not place the speaker on an unstable surface. It could present a hazard if it falls, as well as damaging the equipment.

Do not use the speaker to output distorted sound for long periods of times. This can result in a fire hazard.

Do not sit or stand on the speaker, or let children play on the speaker.

Do not put large or heavy objects on top of the speaker.

Do not place magnetic objects such as screwdrivers or iron parts near the tweeter or midrange. Since the speakers use strong magnets, the objects may be attracted, causing injury or damaging the diaphragm.

CAUTION

These speaker terminals carry HAZARDOUS LIVE voltage. To prevent the risk of electric shock when connecting or disconnecting the speaker cables, disconnect the power cord before touching any uninsulated parts.

WARNING: Handling the cord on this product or cords associated with accessories sold with the product will expose you to chemicals listed on proposition 65 known to the State of California and other governmental entities to cause cancer and birth defect or other reproductive harm.
