The LAT–2. Each LAT–2 shipping box measures 15.8 in. (40.1 cm) wide by 19.3 in.
(49 cm) high by 20.3 in. (51.6 cm) deep. The combined weight of the shipping box
and the loudspeaker is approximately 100 lbs. (45.5 kg). Each LAT–2 loudspeaker
measures 10.5 in. (26.7 cm) wide by 14 in. (35.6 cm) high by 15.5 in. (39.4 cm) deep

To Remove the LAT– 2 from the Shipping Box
The LAT–2 shipping box includes a 2-part cardboard assembly: 1) an interior card-
board box with flaps and 2) a cardboard cap which surrounds the interior box.
To open the shipping box easily and safely, follow these steps:
1.
Position the box so that the box opening instructions are on the top.
2.
Cut the 4 bands of plastic strapping that secure the shipping box.
3.
Lift the cardboard cap straight up and off the shipping box, exposing the interior
cardboard box, a shallow box with generous flaps. The flaps are secured by
plastic strapping. A packet containing the Owner’s Reference and warranty card
is affixed to a top layer of foam packing.
4.
Cut the band of plastic strapping and fold the flaps open.
5.
Remove the top layer of foam packing, exposing the LAT–2 in its protective
sleeve, surrounded by foam packing.
6.
Remove the foam packing by gently lifting the packing straight up and out of the
interior cardboard box. You now see the entire LAT–2 in its protective sleeve,
positioned on a bottom layer of foam packing.
7.
Lift the LAT– 2 out of the shipping box by grasping the base of the loudspeaker
sides. Avoid contact with the grill. Do not use the binding posts to lift the
loudspeaker.
Notes
The LAT– 2 weighs 70 pounds. It may be more convenient for two people to lift the loud-
speaker out of the shipping box.
An optional pedestal is available for the LAT– 2.
