Bowers & Wilkins HTM4 Diamond Manual page 4

1. Unpacking Your Speaker
Your HTM Diamond speaker is heavy and we strongly
suggest that it is unpacked in the room in which it is
to be used. It is also a sensible precaution to remove
jewellery to negate the risk of scratching the speaker's
surface finish.
The table above illustrates the component parts
that are packed with the HTM2 Diamond and HTM4
Diamond. In the unlikely event that anything is missing
please contact the retailer from whom you purchased
the speakers.
All grilles attach magnetically. The heavier bass/
midrange grille is packed in a separate compartment to
prevent movement in transit.
Tweeter diaphragms are very delicate and easily
damaged. Any mishandling of the tweeter grille close
to the unit may result in the grille being attracted into
the diaphragm. For this reason, the tweeter grille is
supplied ready fitted and we recommend that you
leave it in place.

Environmental Information
All Bowers & Wilkins products are
designed to comply with international
directives on the Restriction of Hazardous
Substances (RoHS) in electrical and electronic
equipment and the disposal of Waste Electrical
and Electronic Equipment (WEEE). These symbols
indicate compliance and that the products must be
appropriately recycled or processed in accordance
with these directives. Consult your local waste disposal
authority for guidance.
2. Positioning HTM Diamond Series Speakers
General Guidelines
If using a projection television with an acoustically
transparent screen, position your HTM Diamond
speaker behind the centre of the screen. Otherwise,
position it either directly below the screen on a floor-
stand or within a furniture unit, or directly above the
screen on a wall shelf. Align the front of the speaker
approximately level with the screen. The diagrams
above and right illustrate the position of a HTM
Diamond centre channel speaker within a multi-channel
audio-visual system.
If a floor-stand is to be used, we recommend the FS-
HTM. It is important for both safety and performance
that the floor-stand assembly instructions are followed.
If a wall-shelf or furniture unit is used, ensure that it is
strong enough securely to support the weight of the
speaker. If you have any doubt about the strength of a
supporting structure you should seek specialist help.
Note: Four adhesive plastic feet are supplied with
HTM Diamond speakers for use when one is placed
on a shelf or within a furniture unit. Remove the
backing from the adhesive feet and apply them to
the underside of the speaker.
