Thank you for selecting the German Physiks PQS-202 Mk II loudspeakers for your audio system. The PQS-202 Mk II is a 3 way design based on our PQS-201 loudspeaker. It is designed for use in high-end 2-channel systems and also as the front loudspeakers in high quality home theatre systems. It may be positioned directly against the front wall to minimise its intrusion into the listening room.
The use of any other packing may result in the loudspeakers sustaining damage in transit. Such damage is not covered by the warranty. Should you require replacement packing, please contact your German Physiks dealer, the national distributor or the factory directly. 3. PRINCIPLE FEATURES OF THE PQS-202 Mk II Top plate Input terminals &...
The base of the PQS-202 Mk II is fitted with four spikes. These are double ended as shown in figure 4 and are locked in position with a nut. You will need an open ended 10mm spanner to adjust them - figure 5.

The round ends of the spikes should be used when the loudspeakers are to be placed on a hard floor such as tile or wood and the pointed ends should be used when the loudspeakers are to be placed on a carpeted floor.
Listening Room Layout The following points will help you optimise your listening room layout. 1. The left and right sides of the room should be symmetrical. If the room is asymmetrical, this will degrade the quality of the stereo image. This is because most of the sound energy that you hear is reflected before it reaches your ears.

An amplifier capable of delivering at least 100W into 4 ohms should be used for each loudspeaker. The PQS-202 Mk II is a 3 way design with separate input terminals for the low frequency and high frequency sections of the crossover. These drive the woofer/sub woofer and DDD driver respectively.
Single Wire Connection This uses one cable to connect each loudspeaker to the power amplifier. The two red terminals and the two black terminals on the crossover panel should be linked together. The loudspeaker will be shipped with high quality links in this position. Connect the loudspeaker cable to the woofer input terminals taking care to ensure that the woofer positive terminal is connected to the power amplifier positive output terminal and the woofer negative terminal is connected to the power amplifier negative output terminal.

Initially the sound may seem harsh. Please do not be concerned. The sound will become more relaxed and smooth as the break in progresses. The music used for the break in should be dynamic in order to properly exercise all the components of the loudspeakers.
