Unpacking the Speakers
Use care when unpacking the speakers. Remember to keep the original
boxes and packing material, in the unlikely event the speakers need servic-
ing, or if you move.
Attaching the Grilles
The included metal grilles are held to the front of the enclosures with pow-
erful neodymium magnets. There are depressions on the back of the grille
that the magnets fit into. Once the speakers are in their final position. Posi-
tion the grille over the magnets on the baffle. (See Figure 1) Move them
together slowly and when you get close enough, the magnets will draw the
grille in and hold it tight. Be careful not to get your fingers caught between
the grille and the cabinet.
NOTE: You will notice a threaded insert onthe back of the LR satel-
lites and SR surrounds. This is for bolting the satellites to speaker
stands that utilize a slotted L-bracket. Use a ¼” x 20 bolt to secure
the speaker to the stand.
