1. INTRODUCTION
Thank you for selecting the German Physiks PQS-202 Mk II loudspeakers for your audio system. The
PQS-202 Mk II is a 3 way design based on our PQS-201 loudspeaker. It is designed for use in high-end
2-channel systems and also as the front loudspeakers in high quality home theatre systems. It may be

Mk II is entirely handmade and is built and tested by highly skilled technicians at our factory in Germany.
Every step in the design and manufacture of this product has been dedicated to producing a loudspeaker
that will provide a lifetime of musical enjoyment. We strongly recommend that you read this manual
before attempting to use the loudspeakers, as this will enable you obtain the best performance.
2. UNPACKING YOUR LOUDSPEAKERS
NOTE:
To allow the packing to be lifted off the loudspeakers, ensure that
the room where the loudspeakers are to be unpacked has at least
90cm of clearance between the top of the carton and the ceiling.
When lifting the loudspeakers out of the packing hold them around
the cabinet or top plate – figure 2. Do not lift them by the DDD
driver support pillars as this may damage the DDD driver.
Each loudspeaker weighs approximately 73kg (160lbs) and should
not be lifted by one person alone. Always have help when lifting a
loudspeaker.
The DDD drivers may be protected with clear film or cardboard
covers. We recommend that these be left in place until the
loudspeakers have been placed in their final location, so as to
guard against accidental damage during handling.
Each loudspeaker is supplied in an individual shipping carton. This must be kept upright as shown in
figure 1. Before opening the carton, please inspect it for damage. If you see any damage, please
contact the supplying audio dealer immediately and provide them with a full description of the damage.
Do not attempt to unpack the loudspeakers until you have spoken with the dealer and have been advised
how to proceed.
