2. UNPACKING AND ASSEMBLY
Before you begin installation you should ensure that your loudspeakers are the correct voltage for your local mains AC supply. If they are not, do not try to install them, and contact your dealer.
You should not make any connections to the loudspeakers, or to any other component in your system, while the mains power supply is connected and switched on.
Care when unpacking
Take great care when unpacking or re-packing the loudspeakers that you do not put undue
pressure on the drive units, as they may be damaged if pressed. Particular care should be
taken to avoid any contact with the dome at the centre of the tweeter. To help achieve this,
the tweeter is covered by a protective foam cover when packed. The tweeter cover should
be removed only once the loudspeaker has been fully unpacked, positioned in its intended
location and the head-unit has been mounted onto the main cabinet.
The head-units and main cabinets are supplied in separate cartons. The weight of the main
cabinets requires that they be lifted only with assistance from at least one other person.
Unpacking the main cabinets
The outer packaging comprises of four cardboard sections which are held together by
removable plastic clips. End-pieces form the top and bottom of the packaging, and a two-
piece sleeve forms the sides of the box.

LOUDSPEAKERS
Ensure the packed cabinet is standing on its
base; this can be confirmed by checking that the
information printed on the box is the right-way up.
Remove all 18 plastic clips from the packaging.
To do this, the two fins in the centre of each clip
should be pinched firmly together between thumb
and forefinger. This allows the clip to be pulled out
of location. There are eight clips on each cardboard
end-piece and two more on the main cardboard
sleeve holding the two halves together. The force
required to remove the clips can vary and some
may require considerable pressure to release.

It is advised that the empty packaging is reassembled with all
packing pieces contained within it so it can be reused should there
be any need to transport the loudspeakers at a later date.

Lift out the multi-piece foam packing and flat foam
pad which are fitted over the top of the cabinet.
Remove the two halves of the main sleeve. When
doing this, bear in mind that one loudspeaker in
each pair is packed with an accessories pack held in
a folded section with the sleeve. Take care that the
accessories pack does not slide out of its recess and
fall to the ground.
Locate the accessories pack from the relevant cabinet
packaging, remove it and and keep it for use later.
