PRECAUTIONS FEATURES
Make sure that the power to your amplifier is turned OFF
before connecting the speakers.
Do not attempt to drive the speakers at levels above their
rated power capacity. Excessive power can lead to serious
damage.
Be sure to match the polarity of the speaker terminals
(+, –) with the outputs of your amplifier. If the polarity
of the left and right speakers is reversed, proper stereo
imaging will be impossible to achieve and irregular re-
sponse will result.
This speaker system is not provided with grilles over the
woofers. Avoid touching the woofer cone
–
particularly
the center cap-with fingers or any other object prevent
possible damage.
To achieve optimum performance, use audio-quality
heavy-gauge speaker cable.
W o o f e r
The 18 cm (7") woofer features a conical, straight cone
formed from a sheet of specially developed paper ma-
terial, achieving precise pistonic motion for accurate,
distortion-free reproduction. The cone weights a mere
3.7 grams, allowing it to respond ideally even with
extremely low input levels. Power linearity is superb
from the lowest to highest input levels.
T w e e t e r
The 3.5 cm (1-3/8”) tweeter dome is a laminated
soft-dome type incorporating two specially selected
resins. A unique manufacturing technique ensures
perfectly even resin layers and forms the dome and
tangential edge in one piece. The dome and edge unit
weights only 0.6 grams, achieving superb transient re-
sponse with minimum distortion.
E n c l o s u r e
Only the finest audio-quality high-density particle board
is used in this sealed bookshelf-type enclosure. A
real-wood exterior with a black finish applied in 7
coatings adds rugged durability and beauty to profes-
sional-quality sound.
C r o s s o v e r N e t w o r k
Low-distortion inductors and selected MP capacitors
are combined in a carefully designed layout to ensure
smooth crossover with minimum loss and distortion.
S p e a k e r T e r m i n a l s
Large screw-type terminals easily accept heavy-gauge
speaker cable for optimum reproduction performance.
