3)
Remove and set aside the
two
small Phillips-head
screws on top of the interface chassis,
at
the outer
rear edges.
4)
Slide the chassis rearward about
2",
and lift-up the
front edge. Remove the plastic parts bag located
under the chassis. Plug in the white connector to
the mating receptacle on top of the woofer box.
Note that this connector is keyed
so that
it
inserts
only one way. Insert fully until it snaps.
5) The
parts bag should contain
the
following:
(1)
Wall Transformer
(2)
1/4"
Washers
(4)
Spiked Leveling Feet
(2)
1/4"
-
20
x 2" Bolts
(2) 1/4"
-
20
Nuts
6)
Place the electrostatic array in position on the
front of the woofer box, with the wires hanging
down in front of the woofer, and the seam in the
grille cloth toward the rear.
It
is
recommended that
an assistant support the array in position until
step
#7
is completed.
Note:
If
the speaker
is being assembled near
its
final location, you may want to choose the appro-
priate Left or Right array.
7)
lnsett a large bolt in each of the LOWER holes
located on the prongs extending from the array,
and adjust the position of the array
so that the
screws insert fully through the front of the woofer
box.
Place a washer and nut on the bolts from the
rear
and
tighten. The array will now be self-sup-
potting.
8)
Feed the array wires through the hole in the front
of the woofer box, with the black tubing covering
the wires between the array and hole.

9)
Again lift-up the front edge of the interface chassis, and
locate
the 5 colored jacks (RED, BLUE, BLACK, YEL-
LOW, WHITE) on the printed circuit board. Plug the array
wires into these jacks, PERPENDICULAR TO THE
BOARD, following the color code. Refer to Figure
3.
10)
Slide the interlace chassis forward, making sure that the

thread into the interface chassis, and tighten.
12)
insert and tighten(but do not overtighten) the Philips head
screws on top of the chassis.
13)
Re-install the woofer grille, aligning
it
to the front of the
woofer box by first lining up the top edge of the grille
against the plastic trim plate at the bottom of the array.
Then seat the fasteners by pressing each of the four
corners.
14)
Repeat steps
1-13
for the other speaker.
We recommend that you keep all the boxes
if
possible.
If
storage space is limited, keep all of them for a while until you
are satisfied that both speakers are performing properly.
Experience has shown that
if
service or a factory modification
is ever needed, it is most likely to involve sending ONLY the
interfaces to Acoustat. Our packaging materials are top-of
the-line and much
more
protective than most home-made
arrangements. (See In Case of Difficulty.)
Disassembly of
Speaker
Should your Spectra ever require disassembly for the pur-
pose of moving or repair, simply follow the assembly instruc-
tions in reverse order,
with
one very important exception.
After unbolting the interface chassis, but BEFORE discon-
necting any internal wires, the speaker must be discharged.
