Removal Of Speaker And Grille - Niles PSW8 Installation And Operation Manual

3) Satellite Left-Right Phase Reversal
If the right satellite is reversed in phase from
the connections on the left satellite, you
will hear reduced bass and a "phasey" dif-
fused vocal image. If you suspect the sound
is not right and you cannot see any mark-
ings on the wire, try this simple test:
1. Stand half way between the two satellite
speakers.
2. Play some vocal music with the amplifier
or radio set to Mono.
3. Listen to the apparent placement of the
vocals.
4. Turn off the amplifier and reverse one of
the connections on the subwoofer.
5. Repeat the listening test with the same
setting of the volume control. When
the sound has a richer bass, is slightly
louder and the vocal image is
"focused" the satellites are working
together or "in-phase".
Removal of Speaker
and Grille
Removing The Speaker
If the grille is already installed, remove it by
using a bent paper clip or the tip of a
corkscrew and pulling it away from the frame.
Utilizing 2 small screwdrivers or needle
nose pliers, release the side snaps that
hold the speaker to the frame. Insert the
screwdriver into the hole in the snap and
exert force straight inward (towards the
woofer) until the snap releases. Follow the
same process with the snaps at the top.
Once the snap releases, the speaker can
be tilted away from the frame to be
removed. Do not attempt to use the frame
for leverage, as this may damage the sur-
face of the frame (See Figure 24).
