Care of your speaker
Your new speakers does not require any regular maintenance or calibration. Normal dusting or cleaning
of the surface for appearance purposes is all that is required.
Cabinet and baffle Avoid using harsh detergents or chemicals when cleaning the cabinet. Abrasives, detergents, or
cleaning solutions may damage the finish on the cabinet. We recommend using only a damp cloth or
automotive grade “quick detailer” designed for painted surfaces, plastic & metal trim, to clean the cabinet.
Grill The cloth grill may be carefully cleaned using a vacuum. Animal hair can be removed using masking
tape or similar. Avoid using brushes with stiff bristles that may damage the grill cloth.
Woofer/Tweeter DO NOT use liquids, brushes or a vacuum to clean the drive units. Avoid touching the tweeter dome as
this could result in permanent damage.
Troubleshooting and service
If you should experience a problem with the operation of your speaker, here is a quick trouble shooting
guide to help:
PROBLEM: Speaker has no
output - Check to insure the speaker wire is connected securely at both the amp and speaker connections
- Make sure the binding posts are snug
- If only using 1 set of wires (no bi-wire), make sure the gold plated jumpers are properly connecting
HF to LF for both + and - connections. The binding posts should be snug to the jumper.
- Verify the source is working (try connecting to a speaker you know is working)
- In some cases the source material may not play all 5.1 or 7.1 speakers all of the time (ie, 2 channel
stereo will not have any output at the center channel)
PROBLEM: Speaker has
minimal bass or image is poor
- Check to insure the speakers wire is connected with correct polarity (+ to +, - to -)
- If only using 1 set of wires (no bi-wire), make sure the gold plated jumpers are properly connecting
HF to LF for both + and - connections. The binding posts should be snug to the jumper.
PROBLEM: Intermittent sound
- Check for loose, frayed or shorted speaker wire. It is possible for frayed wire to touch the other
terminal creating a short or intermittent short
- Make sure the binding posts and jumpers are snug
PROBLEM: Sound coming from
woofer or tweeter only
- Both HF and LF inputs must be connected. Typically, you will use the included jumpers for this.
If you are Bi-wiring, check that all wires are connected securely at both the amp and speaker
connections
- If only using 1 set of wires (no bi-wire), make sure the gold plated jumpers are properly connecting
HF to LF for both + and - connections. The binding posts should be snug to the jumper.
