PACKAGING

Save all packaging, including the protective cover for the ribbon tweeters.  If you need 
to transport the speakers, they can be shipped safely only in the original packaging. 
You may never have to return your speakers, but should the occasion arise, they 
should not be shipped in any packaging but the original.  Should you discard it, factory 
packaging is available, including special packaging for ribbon tweeters.

SPEAKER UNPACKING AND ASSEMBLY

UNPACKING SPEAKER-DO not pull a speaker abruptly from the carton.  The resulting 
partial vacuum could burst the ribbon.  Do not remove the tweeter protector strips until 
the speaker is completely assembled.

SUPPORT FEET INSTALLATION-The four support feet are shipped in the separate 
accessory carton along with the eight mounting bolts. Two feet must be fastened to the 
backside of each of the panels. The nuts are already installed in the panels.

A.

Lay the speakers on the side as shown in Figure 1. We suggest you have a 
second person hold the speakers during installation to ensure they do not fall.

B.

Locate the four holes in the fabric along lower backside of the panel.

C.

Carefully place a foot from the backside against the panel so the holes in the 
foot align with the holes in the panel.   Using your fingers, insert bolts through 
the foot and into the panel until they engage nuts in the panel.  Care should be 
taken so the bolts do not cross-thread.  Final tightening is done with a Phillips #2 
screwdriver.   Repeat for remaining foot.
