Removal of the Low Frequency Driver 

1.  Unscrew the six countersunk socket head screws at the side of the cabinet that hold the 

protective grille in place. Be careful when removing the grille as it is under tension and may 
spring outwards when released. Set the grille and fixing screws aside for later re-assembly. 

2.  Undo the four Allen head bolts holding the driver in place, and carefully pull it out and away 

from the cabinet. WARNING - this unit is heavy! Disconnect the cables from the loudspeaker 
terminals and completely remove the driver from the cabinet. Make a note of the driver 
polarity for later reconnection. 

3.  To reinstate the driver, simply reverse the procedure making sure you observe the correct 

polarity when reconnecting the cables back into the terminals of the drive units. 

Removal of the HF unit 

1.  Unscrew the six countersunk socket head screws at the side of the cabinet that hold the 

protective grille in place. Be careful when removing the grille as it is under tension and may 
spring outwards when released. Set the grille and fixing screws aside for later re-assembly. 

2.  Remove the centre portion of the top grille support bracket, which will allow the horn and 

driver to come out easily. Unscrew the four Allen head bolts holding the high frequency 
range horn in place and carefully pull it out and away from the cabinet. WARNING - this unit 
is heavy! Disconnect the cables from the loudspeaker terminals and completely remove the 
driver from the cabinet. Make a note of the driver polarity for later reconnection. 

3.  To reinstate the driver, simply reverse the procedure making sure you observe the correct 

polarity when reconnecting the cables back into the terminals of the drive units. Replace the 
top grille support bracket before re-fitting the grille.
