DANGER DUE TO IMPROPER INSTALLATION Please consider the following aspects when choosing the installation site: Never use the loudspeaker outdoors. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight, excessive heat, cold, moisture and dust.

O P E R A T I O N M A N U A L 2. CONNECTING THE LOUDSPEAKERS FOR BI-AMP MODE In bi-amp mode, the mid-high range and the bass are controlled separately. In bi-amp mode, the particularly important mid-high range benefits directly from the fact that the relevant power amplifier channels are unburdened by the power- intensive low range.
