The first section of this manual provides useful and important information about
your speakers and how their performance relates to the amplifier used and the
chosen room placement.
The second section explains how to best connect (wire) your new speakers to your
system and provides some troubleshooting hints.
The last page explains our Warranty.
POWER RATINGS
Your new speakers come with specifications which detail their normal operative power
range. As an example, an operative power range of 10-60 Watts approximates the
amplifier power output region within which the speaker will perform optimally. This
does not mean, however, that the speakers cannot be played safely by an amplifier or
receiver whose power output capability is greater than 60 Watts. As long as the system
is used properly much greater power sources can be considered. Speakers can tolerate
brief high power surges called peaks.
NOTE: The above example does not suggest that the SPEAKER ITSELF will produce 60
Watts of power. Speakers don't produce power in the same sense that amplifiers do. A
speaker's power rating only refers to the amount of amplifier power that can be safely
accommodated.

Summary of Contents for Pinnacle BD 300
- Page 1 Certain necessary terminologies are introduced simply and several illustrations further clarify important points. Please take the time to familiarize yourself with the contents of your Pinnacle owners' manual. We are confident that your reward will be increased enjoyment from your speakers in particular and from your sound system overall.
- Page 2 20-20 kHz at less than 0.1% THD. Such an amplifier will ensure that your Pinnacle Speakers perform to their utmost potential. Note: If your amplifier or receiver has a 4/8 Ohm speaker impedance selector switch, we recommend the 4 Ohm position for the best system performance.
- Page 3 A) Sound quality is generally improved when all or most of the floor space is carpeted (whether or not floor placement is selected). B) The more surfaces of the room that are adjacent to a speaker, the greater its bass output will be. Drastic differences in sound quality are commonplace when various speaker positions are experimented with.
- Page 4 Always use #18 Gauge or heavier (#16, 14, 12, etc.) as per the following recommendations. Note: All PINNACLE products can accept up to #12 Gauge wire. Minimum Recommended Gauge - #18 Gauge, suitable for runs up to 12 feet per speaker.
- Page 5 We cannot recommend #22 or #24 Gauge gold and silver colored wire commonly labeled "speaker wire" and sold at a variety of consumer outlets. This wire is suitable only for low cost, low power applications, such as with low power extension speakers. It is absolutely not meant to be used with high quality systems.
- Page 6 CABINET FINISH: Your speaker cabinets require no maintenance under normal use. The cabinet surface may, however, be cleaned by using a damp cloth. If you choose to use any kind of cleaning agent (such as a non-abrasive glass cleaner) please be sure to test a small area on the bottom of the cabinet first.
- Page 7 Any damage caused to the speaker system from improper use is not covered by warranty. Pinnacle Speakers reserves the right to make the final determination of whether or not a particular speaker system has been damaged by abuse or excessive overload.
