local building codes.
Prepare the cable by stripping 1/4" to 3/8" of insulation from the ends and twisting the exposed wire
strands tightly. The spring-loaded binding posts on the back of the speaker will accept raw wire only.
Be sure to wire both the left and right speakers "in-phase." That is, the Positive (red) terminal on the amplifier
output must be connected to the corresponding Positive (red) terminal on the speaker. Likewise with the Negative
(black) terminals.
All speaker cables have some sort of marking along one or both conductors to help you make the
correct connections. Incorrect speaker phase is indicated by weak bass and the lack of a well-defined stereo image.
Operation
The 6.2 Ci was designed to handle a wide range of listening levels, but every speaker has limits. It is important to use
common sense and listen for signs of possible distress from the speakers. Underpowered amplifiers are most often the
cause of speaker damage. For example, a 60-watt amplifier runs out of power when called upon to produce more than 60
watts, and the resulting distortion can damage the speaker. If you tend to listen at high volume levels, more powerful ampli-
fiers are preferable because they are less likely to run out of power.
Noticeable distortion or harsh breakup is an indication that either your amplifier or your speakers are running beyond their
capacity, and the volume should be decreased. If you can feel any heat emanating from the woofers or tweeter, reduce
the level immediately. Speaker damage most often occurs from sustained high volume levels, not from transient sounds
or brief musical peaks. Excessive boosting of bass, treble or equalizer controls can worsen the problem, and is not
recommended.
Maintenance
The 6.2 Ci's require minimal maintenance under normal use. The grille and frame may be cleaned using a damp cloth
or a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Do not expose the speaker to direct sunlight, high temperatures, or moisture. Do not
attempt to clean the actual drivers.
