We recommend that you keep all the boxes
storage space is limited, keep all of them for a while until you
are satisfied that both speakers are performing properly.
Experience has shown that if service or a factory modification
is ever needed, it is most likely to involve sending ONLY the
interfaces to Acoustat. Our packaging materials are top-of
more
the-line and much protective than most home-made
arrangements. (See In Case of Difficulty.)
Disassembly of Speaker
Should your Spectra ever require disassembly for the pur-
pose of moving or repair, simply follow the assembly instruc-

After unbolting the interface chassis, but BEFORE discon-
necting any internal wires, the speaker must be discharged.
