TS10 PREPARATION

Getting Started

Thank you for purchasing the TS10 1" tweeter. Although Dual has attempted to make sure all of the information contained within this manual is accurate, please be aware that any part of it is subject to change without notice.

Safety

To prevent injury and damage to the unit, please read and follow the instructions in this manual.

If you feel unsure about installing this system yourself, have it installed by a qualified audio technician.

Before installation, disconnect the battery negative (-) terminal to prevent damage to the unit, fire and/or possible injury.

Do not connect Amplifier or any audio source to illumination inputs. Inputs are designed for 12 volt power source only.

Placement

The TS10 must be combined with other component speakers to develop a complete speaker system. A 2-way system is comprised of a midrange and tweeter, while a 3-way system includes a midrange, tweeter and woofer/subwoofer.

Midranges, like tweeters, are directional and require a similar "line of sight" location. In addition, a tweeter should be located as close as possible to its corresponding midrange driver to assure good sound cohesion. Woofer and subwoofer drivers are generally considered non-directional due to the nature of the low frequencies they produce; therefore, their placement is less critical. Carefully consider the layout of your entire system before installing any speaker components.

The TS10 is a high performance tweeter which reproduces the upper portion of the audible frequency range. As such, it should be mounted in locations which provide a direct line of sight path to the listener's ear. Ideal locations include dashboard and upper areas of door and side panels.

The included mounting adapters provided with this kit allow surface, flush or angled mounting. Experiment with tweeter placement to determine best location before permenantly mounting tweeters in vehicle.
