Assembling the speakers

TALIS TLS 20A and TLS 10A loudspeakers are supplied
with separate base plates. The base plates must be
attached to the cabinets before you use the speakers to
ensure that they are stable when erected.
If you have purchased glass base plates please be ex-
tremely careful with them to avoid breaking the glass. Don't
drop or throw the glass plates, and take care not to hit the
edges and corners on any hard object.
To assemble the loudspeakers stand them on a surface
which will not cause scratches and turn them upside-down.
Carefully place the spacer and the glass plate on the cabi-
net bottom and line up the screw-holes. Fit the screws and
the spreaders (see drawing), and tighten the screws gently.
Tighten them by hand only to avoid damaging the glass.
Carefully turn the speaker the right way up once the glass
plate has been fitted; it is now ready for use.
The reverse face of the glass plates is coated with a
coloured film. Take care not to damage this film as any
scratches will be visible on the top surface.
When positioning the loudspeakers never push them along
the floor as this will scratch the underside of the glass
plates.
TALIS series loudspeakers are supplied with a front cover.
This consists of a grille lined with a fibrous material, and is
designed to protect the drive units.
The grilles cannot and must not be removed, as they are
an integral part of the loudspeakers' acoustic system.
Any attempt at removal will damage the grilles and have
an adverse effect on the sound image.
Fold up the original packaging and store it in a safe
place. The carton and packing materials have been spe-
cially designed for these loudspeakers. They form a safe
container should you need to transport the speakers at
any time, and they also help to maintain the speakers'
second-hand value.
If you don't wish to keep the packaging, give the material
back to your supplier for appropriate disposal.
