Dear Friend:
Thank you for purchasing my Sun
Þ
re
True Subwoofer EQ Solitaire. I hope you
enjoy it and the music it makes as much
as I have enjoyed creating it for you.
The big breakthrough features of
the subwoofer are its uncanny track-
ing downconverter, its long throw, high
back-electromotive force driver, and its
fully automatic room equalizer. Taken
together, they provide this sub woof er with
as much bass as you could get from sev-
eral 15 inch drivers mount ed in a cabinet
the size of a small re frig er a tor.
Introduction
Care
To maintain the speaker cabinet’s
Þ
n-
ish,
Þ
rst unplug the power cord and then
use a soft cloth to clean the sur fac es.
To keep the large rubber surrounds soft
and supple for 20 years or more, treat
them with MINK OIL, avail able at most
shoe repair stores. Unplug the power
cord, and rub a generous amount into the
surrounds with a soft cloth about once
a year (more often if you live in a dry
climate).
