Connecting the Speakers
Using Speaker Mounts/Brackets
Read the following before connecting your speakers:
• Turn off your amp before making any connections.
• The nominal impedance of these speakers is 6 Ω. Use
only an amp that supports this impedance.
• Pay close attention to speaker wiring polarity. Con-
nect positive (+) terminals to only positive (+) termi-
nals, and negative (–) terminals to only negative (–)
terminals. If the speakers are wired incorrectly, the
sound will be out of phase and will sound unnatural.
• Be careful not to short the
Threaded inserts for 5 mm machine screws are provided
on the rear and buttom of the speaker for wall-mounting
with commercially available speaker mounts and brack-
ets. Refer to the manual supplied with your mounts or
brackets for installation details.
Note:
The portion of the screw that goes into the speaker’s
threaded insert should be between 5 mm and 9 mm
long.

used for normal music reproduction. If any of the fol-
lowing signals are fed to them, even if the input power
is within the specified rating, excessive current may
flow in the speaker coils, causing burning or wire break-

insert the wire into the hole, and
then release the lever.
Make sure that the terminals are
gripping the bare wires, not the insulation.

5. Special test tones from audio test CDs and so on.
6. Thumps and clicks caused by connecting or discon-
necting audio cables (Always turn off your amplifier
before connecting or disconnecting cables.)
7. Microphone feedback.
• The speaker contain strong magnets, so do not put
magnetic or iron objects such as screwdrivers close to
them. If you do, the object may be attached to the
magnets, causing personal injury or damage to the
diaphragm.

Wipe the cabinet occasionally with a dry silica or soft
cloth. For heavier dirt, after dampening a soft cloth in a
weak solution of mild detergent and water and wringing
it out dry, wipe off the dirt. Then, dry immediately with
a clean cloth. Do not use rough material, thinners, alco-
hol or other chemical solvents or cloths since these
could damage the finish, remove the panel lettering, or
cause discoloration. If you are using a chemical cloth,
always follow the instructions that come with the cloth.
For dust accumulated on grilles, use a vacuum cleaner
or brush it off.
