also advisable to power-down or unplug all associated components while
making or breaking any signal or AC power connections.

SAVE THE PACKAGING

Please save the box and all of the packaging in which your M28 arrived.
Should you move or otherwise need to transport your M28, this is by far
the safest container in which to do so. We've seen too many otherwise
perfect components damaged in transit for lack of a proper shipping
carton, so please: Save that box!

BARE WIRES AND PIN CONNECTORS
WARNING: The terminals marked with this symbol

terminals requires installation by an instructed person or
the use of ready-made leads or cords.
Bare wires and pin sockets should be inserted into the hole in the shaft
of the terminal. Unscrew the speaker terminal's plastic bushing until the
hole in the screw shaft is revealed. Insert the pin or bare cable end into
the hole and secure the cable by tightening down the terminal's bushing.
