The copper plating of the top and bottom plates 
along with a solid copper phase plug improves the 

heat conduction and thus contributes to the high 
power durability.

Gold plated terminals reduce contact resistance 

and serves as anti-corrosion.
Large windows in the basket both above and below 

the spider reduces sound reflection, air flow noise 
and cavity resonances.

Crossover /
Binding post

 

We have selected a -12 /18 dB crossover that has a 
fast transient response and a minimum of phase 

shifting.
The connectors are gold plated bi-wiring types so 

you can connect to the amplifier with double cables 
(bi-wiring), or connect to two amplifiers (bi-amp-

ing) for further improvement of the sound. The fol-
lowing connecting methods are available:

1. Upper te lower terminal (loops 

present)

Default setting, the loudspeaker is fed with the en-

tire frequency range.

Without the loop between upper and lower termin-
al:

2. Upper terminal.

 The signal is only fed to the 

tweeter.

3. Lower terminal.

 Now the signal is fed to the 

woofer only.

Preparations

Unpacking

 

Carefully unpack the speaker, and pay attention so 
you don't break anything. If possible, save the box 

for   future   transportations.   If   there   should   be 
damage   to   the   loudspeaker,   please   contact   your 

retailer.
