smmothy transitioned to an
8"
dynamic woofer.
Spectra's excellent midrange results from the magic
of wave physics which causes the 9" of array opera-
tiinal
at these frequencies to act dispersively for
waves leaving both the front and the rear of the array.
Spectra
is devoid of the midrange beaming common
in planar speakers using large flat midrange radiators.
For those wishing more in-depth information about
electrostats in general and specifically spectra, contact
the factory and ask for our "White Paper" entitled "Full
Range Electrostatic Loudspeakers."
An electriial schematic is included in this owner's
manual. However, the schematic is intended only for
the academically curious: field repair is not recom-
mended and
not
authorized.
The Spectra loudspeaker has been designed for a
lifetime of trouble-free music enjoyment. On the rare
occasions
that an apparent malfunction
should
oc-
cur, be sure to check all system signal sources,
fuses, and connecting cables.
If
investigation pin-
points the Spectra as the source of difficulty please
contact
(by
telephone, preferably) our Customer
Service Department before sending any equipment
for service. Very often, we can offer further trouble-
shooting hints that simplify or even eliminate the
need for factory service. Should your Spectra loud-
speaker require factory service, please use original
factory packaging for shipment
andinclude a copy of
a
dated Bill of Sale and a brief note describing the
difficulty. Everyeffortwillbe made to perform service
in
a timely manner, with typical turn-around times of
about one week, exclusive of transit time.
