2003 PINNACLE LOUDSPEAKERS
We appreciate your choosing Pinnacle’s Quantum Plasma speakers for use in your
Home Theater & audio system. These unique speakers will provide you with
surprisingly powerful and satisfying sound from an ultra stylish & compact package.
Please read this manual completely to ensure the best possible performance from
your Home Theater or sound system.
SPEAKER PROTECTION:
One special feature of the Quantum Plasma speakers is an overload protection circuit
designed to help protect the speaker from accidental overload. This protection circuit
will automatically attenuate the overall output of a speaker when it senses excessive
volume level. If you hear this protection circuit engaging, (and it will be obvious when
this occurs), please turn down your receiver’s volume. Your speaker will quickly return
to its normal operation.
CONNECTIONS:
Complete all wire connections in your Home Theater/Sound system before powering
up your receiver. Be sure to observe proper polarity for all speaker wire connections:
receiver PLUS (red terminal) to speaker PLUS, receiver MINUS (black terminal) to
speaker minus. For the best results, we recommend 12, 14 or 16 gauge wire; consult
your dealer for options.
To connect your speaker wire to your speaker's binding posts, twist the bare wire
strands together tightly, then insert through the hole which becomes visible when the
knurled knob is screwed counterclockwise. The wire must then be secured by
screwing the knob back clockwise until snug. Remember, loose strands of wire may
cause short circuits. Upon completion, gently tug at all connections to ensure they are
fastened securely and re-check for correct polarity.
