Installation

Mounting the driver grilles

The grilles are easily fastened to the speakers magnetically when the small magnets on the grille are aligned on top of the driver screws.

1. 

Place and hold the grille lightly on top of the driver as 
shown below

2. 

Turn it clockwise or counter-clockwise until you can 
feel the magnets attach to the screws below.

To detach the grille from the speaker simply turn the grille clockwise or counter-clockwise and remove it.

Connecting your speakers

Connecting your speakers to your amplifi er must only be performed with the amplifi er turned off . Otherwise damage may occur. Connect 
the red speaker terminal 

(+)

 to the positive speaker output on your amplifi er. Now connect the white speaker terminal 

(-)

 to the negative 

speaker output terminal on your amplifi er.

Bi-wiring and bi-amping

The FM-2 features a double set of high-quality WBT gold plated copper 
binding posts that can accommodate separate cables and/or amplifi ers for 
high and low frequency reproduction respectively. 

PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING IMPORTANT INFORMATION: 
Permanent damage may occur to your audio system if the copper 
shorting plates are not removed before connecting more than one 
amplifi er to your speakers!

There are many theories about bi-wiring and bi-amping. Our best advice is 
to experiment with diff erent cables, amplifi ers and methods of connection. 
Whatever performs best in your system might not work equally well in 
another setup or in a diff erent room. In general, our advice would be to 
use the same kind of cable both for bi-wiring and bi-amping, and also 
to use identical amplifi ers when bi-amping. This is simply due to the fact 
that both methods will add more headroom and clarity to the sound
