Removal of Speaker and Grille

Removing The Speaker

If the grille is already installed, remove it by using a bent paper clip or the tip of a corkscrew and pulling it away from the frame.

Utilizing Two small screwdrivers or two needle nose pliers, release the snaps that hold the speaker to the frame. Insert the screwdrivers into the holes in the snaps and exert force straight down (towards the woofer) until the snaps release. Once the snap releases, the speaker can be tilted away from the frame to be removed. Do not attempt to use the frame for leverage, as this may damage the surface of the frame (See Figure 20).

Operation

Listening at Higher Volumes

It requires more power to achieve a reason- able volume of sound in a large room than it does in a small room. It is possible (even if you are not a teenager) to turn the volume so high that the amplifier runs out of power. This creates “clipping” distortion.

Clipping distortion makes treble sound very harsh and unmusical. When you hear harsh sounding treble from any good speaker, turn the volume down immedi- ately! Those harsh sounds are masking some much more powerful ultra-high-fre- quency sound spikes which will quickly damage any fine loudspeaker. You are much less likely to damage a speaker with a large amplifier because it will be very loud indeed before it produces any clip- ping distortion.

Cleaning

You can clean the speaker with a damp- ened soft cloth or paper towel. If the speaker is mounted high up on a wall or ceiling, use a broom to gently brush it off.
