We at EgglestonWorks hope that you will spend many years enjoying your new Ivy Signature loudspeaker system. This Owner’s Manual contains important information that will insure the proper set-up and operation of your speakers. Be sure to read this manual thoroughly in order to keep your new speakers sounding their best for many years to come.
Before You Unpack It is very important that you first carefully inspect all shipping cartons for damage. EgglestonWorks loudspeakers are packed extremely well, and any damage encountered during shipping should be limited to the packaging. When purchasing through a dealer who is also doing your set-up, damage to the speakers is not usually a problem.

With the ramp in place and the casters unlocked, grab the shoulder of the speakers (near the middle) and begin to slowly roll the speaker out of the crate. Try to locate the tweeter on the front side and be aware of its location. DO NOT TOUCH THE TWEETER AT ANY TIME AS IT IS VERY FRAGILE.
The most common practice includes a red marking for positive, and black or no marking for negative. EgglestonWorks speakers are set up with positive on the right and negative on the left when facing the rear of the speaker.
Amplification The EgglestonWorks Ivy Signature is a relatively easy speaker to drive. With an efficiency of 88 dB, the load presented to an amplifier is quite stable. Nominal impedance is 8 Ohms, but rarely drops below 5 ohms. Normally a speaker with this impedance curve, we recommend amplification minimum of 100 watts per channel.
The internal components of these drivers are very stiff when they are new, and require quite a bit of use before they fully loosen up. EgglestonWorks practices moderate in-house break in of your speakers, typically not exceeding 50 hours. This partial break in is to reduce the time it will take at home to loosen the drivers sufficiently.
! Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. It can damage the finish over time. ! Avoid extreme humidity. High humidity can affect the cabinet, adhesives and electrical contacts. ! EgglestonWorks loudspeakers are extremely heavy. Never attempt to move them without using extreme caution and/or someone’s assistance.
Warranty We would like to thank you and congratulate you on the purchase of your EgglestonWorks loudspeaker system. We have made every effort to ensure that all of our products are expertly crafted and provide the sound quality you demand.
