6.0 SERVICING

6.1 Cabinet finish
To remove marks and scuffs use a soft brush. If necessary, a little warm water and detergent can
be used but under no circumstances use a solvent or abrasive cleaner.

6.2 Driver removal

Lay the cabinet on its back. Remove the six hexagonal screws and set aside. Ease the driver
from the front of the cabinet taking care not to mark the front surface. Remove the driver, note the
polarity of the internal connections and disconnect the internal wiring. Take care not to damage
the moving parts of the LF driver. To refit the driver, connect the cables from the crossover to the
LF terminals. Fit the driver into the mounting hole, making sure that the internal connecting cables
are not trapped or able to touch the LF cone. Fasten the screws finger tight and then
progressively tighten them down with the appropriate Allen key.
Repeat the same procedure for the HF driver.
6.3 Amplifier
A fuse is located just under the mains input (location 2 fig 1). Replacement is simple and a spare
fuse is provided inside the fuse housing itself. Always use the correctly rated fuse, as indicated on
the silk screen-printing. Only qualified and authorised personnel should undertake any other
servicing regarding the amplifier section.
In case of any malfunction of the unit, the first thing to check should be the input connection,
more especially if the source has unbalanced outputs (see "Connecting your speakers" section)
as improper connection can result in significant level reduction and affect the response.
