Introduction

Thank you for purchasing music hall marimba loudspeakers.

Please read this manual carefully. In addition to installation and operating instructions, it provides valuable information that will help you get optimum performance from your system. Please contact your authorized music hall dealer for answers to your questions. In addition, all of us at music hall welcome your questions and comments. Save the shipping carton and all enclosed packing material for future use. Shipping or moving the speakers in anything other than the original packing material may result in severe damage that is not covered by the warranty. Be sure to keep the original sales receipt. It is your best record of the date of purchase, which you will need in the event warranty service is required.

Connections

All connections should be made with the amplifier switched off.

There is one pair of terminals on the back of each speaker. Ensure the positive terminal on the speaker (marked + and colored red) is connected to the positive output terminal of the amplifier and the negative (marked – and colored black) to negative. Incorrect connection can result in poor performance and loss of bass.

Placement

Use common sense when placing the loudspeakers. Always place them on a firm, level surface. Mount the speakers on firm dedicated stands that place the tweeters approximately at ear level. When placing the speakers make sure that the shelf or stand can support their weight.

Position the speakers and the center of the listening area approximately at the corners of an equilateral triangle. Keep the speakers at least 6 feet (1.5m) apart to maintain left-right separation.

Ensure the speaker stands are firm on the floor. If you have carpet, use carpet piercing spikes and adjust them to take up any unevenness in the floor.
