helpful tips and ideas on properly setting up and using your system. 
We promise that if you take the time to read and follow these tips 
you’ll get better system performance and more enjoyment.

Unpacking the Speaker

Use care when unpacking the speakers. Remember to keep the original 
boxes and packing material, in the unlikely event the speakers need servic-
ing, or if you move.

Attaching the Grille

The included metal grilles are held to the front of the enclosures with power-
ful neodymium magnets. There are depressions on the back of the grille that 
the magnets fit into. Once the speakers are in their final position. Position the 
grille over the magnets on the baffle. Move them together slowly and when 
you get close enough, the magnets will draw the grille in and hold it tight. Be 
careful not to get your fingers caught between the grille and the cabinet.
