Thank you for purchasing the SourcePoint 888. The name SourcePoint 888 is derived from the use of three 8-inch drivers. My goal for the SourcePoint 888 is to enhance the technology and sound quality of the SourcePoint 8 and elevate it to an even higher performance level.

Unboxing Your Speaker To open the double-boxed package, stand the carton upside down and carefully open the outer carton flaps and fold them outward. Next open the inner carton flaps. Fold the flaps outward, remove the foam packing piece, flip the box right side up and slowly lift the carton to reveal the speaker.
Connecting Your Speakers Your speakers are equipped with two sets of binding posts to allow for bi-wire and bi-amp connectivity. The binding posts are linked with straps. Leave them in place if not bi-amping or b-wiring. Please see the following page for instructions on how to connect for bi-wiring or bi-amping.
Biwiring and Biamping Warning; Before connecting for bi-wiring or bi-amping, you must remove the shorting straps. Failure to do so will either defeat the purpose or potentially damage your amplifier. Diagram A shows the connection for bi-wiring. One set of cables is connected to the lower pair of terminals. This is the Woofer channel.
Speaker Placement There is no golden rule for speaker placement, but following a few general guidelines will help optimize performance. Spend time experimenting with speaker placement, one of the most effective and affordable ways of maximizing the sound quality of these speakers.

Optimizing Stereo Imaging Imaging is often overlooked when listening of stereo speakers. If correctly spaced and arranged with an optimal toe-in angle, these speakers can create a large involving soundstage while retaining focused imaging. Start by placing the speakers so they form an equilateral triangle with the listener.
Installing the Feet The feet are supplied in four pieces: a threaded rod, a locking ring, a cone, and a flat foot. Choose first whether to use the cone (intended for carpeted floors) or the flat foot(used for wood or tiled floors) Thread the rod through the locking ring and into either the cone or the flat foot.
Attaching the Grilles The grilles magnetically attach to the speakers. To affix, simply hold a grille by its edges and hold it up next to the front baffle. It will automatically pull itself to the baffle and self-locate. To remove it, hold the edges and pull it away from the baffle.
