Dayton Audio RS621CMK Speaker Kit Pair Curved Maple - Manual (Page 7)

The baffle can now be installed into the cabinet, working carefully to make sure no wires are trapped between the
baffle and the cabinet. Once the baffle is fully installed, it can be secured via the included machine screws and glued
into place if desired. Using the 4 machine screws by themselves will have adequate holding power to prevent leaks
and vibrations of the baffle. However, for the utmost cabinet strength, the baffle should be glued into place with
polyurethane glue. Note: Once the baffle is glued into place, making any changes to the speaker becomes very
difficult. Please listen to the speaker for a period of time with just the machine screws holding the baffle in place to
make sure everything is working correctly before you secure the baffle permanently.
8. Install Grill
The grill has four neodymium magnets which are embedded into the frame. These magnets are arranged to align
with the screws that hold the baffle in place. Simply place the grill on the baffle and realign if necessary.
9. Care and cleaning
To protect the finish of your Dayton speaker system, it is important to use some care when it comes time to clean it.
To remove dust from drivers, grills, or the cabinet tops, a synthetic “feather duster” works well. For more stubborn
dust on the grills or woofers, a vacuum cleaner with gentle brush attachment may be used. It is not recommended to
use any type of cleaning apparatus on tweeter domes; dust will not affect the sound, and the chance of damaging
the dome is high.
For cleaning streaks or fingerprints on the cabinet finishes, an ammonia-based window cleaner is recommended. It
will not affect the finish and will leave a streak-free shine. It is important to use only very soft, clean cloths, and to
wipe gently at the surface. Intense scrubbing or using cloths with debris on them may cause small swirl marks or
scratches. Of course, the best way to maintain the finish on the cabinet is to prevent soiling it in the first place. Never
place drinks or abrasive objects on the top of the speaker.
Troubleshooting
Problem: No output from woofer in individual speaker.
Cause: Bad connection or defective woofer.
Solution: Check connections from crossover board to woofer. If this is OK, check solder connections in the
crossover, particularly on inductors. If this is OK, directly test the woofer by hooking it up to stereo system at low
volume setting. If sound comes out of the woofer, then go back and check connections. If there is no sound at all,
then woofer is likely defective. Please contact your place of purchase immediately.
Problem: No output from tweeter in individual speaker.
Cause: Bad connection or defective tweeter.
Solution: Check connections from crossover board to tweeter. If this is OK, check solder connections in the
crossover. If OK, it is possible to carefully test the tweeter by directly connecting it to your stereo. Test at a very low
volume for a brief period of time, at the level of a loud whisper. If there is high-frequency sound, then go back and
check connections. If no sound at all, then tweeter is likely defective. Please contact your place of purchase
immediately.
Problem: There is sound from the speaker, but it is very quiet and seems to be mostly treble or midrange.
Cause: Woofer and tweeter are wired backwards.
Solution: Immediately cease testing to prevent damage to the tweeter. Check connections from crossover board to
woofer and tweeter, making sure the T terminal goes to the tweeter and the W goes to the woofer.
