B. Epilogue 2 preparation 

 

  Dismount the top silver steel plate. 

  Dismount the two gold plated side identification plates. 

  Reassemble the silver steel plate in one of the lateral sides (one of the larger 

sides). Use the side which is the closest to the coaxial connector located on the 
back panel and noted Epilogue 1. 

  Reassemble the two gold plated identification plates to the two smaller sides. 

  Mount on the bottom threaded hole of the remaining larger side one of the black 

pointed steel bars provided in the Epiframe 2. Tighten it using a strong 
screwdriver inserted in its lateral hole. 

 

C. Upper Epilogue 1 Satellite preparation 

 

  Dismount the gold plated top plate. 

  Mount on the threaded hole that was hidden by the gold plate one of the black 

pointed steel bars provided with the Epiframe 1 (similar to those found earlier in 
the package of the Epiframe 2). Tighten it using a strong screwdriver inserted in 
its lateral hole. Fill the small holes around with no-head plastic screws provided. 

 
The speakers are now ready to be assembled.  
However, the Epiframe assembly needs also to be prepared before.  
The Epilogue Epiframe is designed to provide stability of the full Epilogue assembly. 
Prepare the following elements before assembling the speakers.  
If you upgrade from an Epiframe 1 to the full system, dismount first the Epiframe 1 
from any speakers attachment and follow the process described below : 
 
 

D. Epiframe 1 preparation 

 

  From the Epiframe 1 you must first disassemble the bottom rectangular assembly. 

See Schematics #1 

  Attach the two vertical bars found in the Epiframe 1 carton with the bottom feet 

taken from the above disassembly (part A). The bottom feet part is assembled on 
the longest length without screws. 

  Insert two 80mm long tubes on the available tube holders. Use rounded head 

screws provided to attach each. 
See Schematics #2 

  Assemble the two vertical bars on the back of the Epilogue 3/4 speaker.  

  Remove the golden plates from the front bar disassembled previously (part C). 

  Assemble one tube holder on top of a Teflon isolator on the corner side from 

where the golden plate was removed. Use 2 M5x30 screws. And do the same 
under. See Schematics #3 

  Insert the two midsize tubes found in the Epiframe 2 cartons with satellite 

attachment and use two rounded head screws to tighten each of them. 

  Assemble this built U shaped frame part on top of the two vertical bars mounted 

on the back of the Epilogue 3.
