PRECAUTIONS FEATURES
• Make sure that the power to your amplifier is turned OFF
before connecting the speakers.
• Do not attempt to drive the speakers at levels above their
rated power capacity. Excessive power can lead to serious
damage.
• Be sure to match the polarity of the speaker terminals
(+, -) with the outputs of your amplifier. If the polarity
of the left and right speakers is reversed, proper stereo
imaging will be impossible to achieve and irregular re­
sponse will result.
• This speaker system is not provided with griiies over the
woofers. Avoid touching the woofer cone — particuiariy
the center cap — with fingers or any other object to prevent
possible damage. •
• To achieve optimum performance, use audio-quality
heavy-gauge speaker cabie.
Woofer
The 18 cm (7") woofer features a conical, straight cone
formed from a sheet of speciaiiy deveioped paper ma-
teriai, achieving precise pistonic motion for accurate,
distortion-free reproduction. The cone weights a mere
3.7 grams, ailowing it to respond ideaiiy even with
extremely low Input levels. Power linearity is superb
from the iowest to highest input leveis.
Tweeter
The 3.5 cm (1-3/8") tweeter dome is a laminated
soft-dome type incorporating two speciaiiy selected
resins. A unique manufacturing technique ensures
perfectly even resin iayers and forms the dome and
tangentiai edge in one piece. The dome and edge unit
weights only 0.6 grams, achieving superb transient re­
sponse with minimum distortion.
Enclosure
Only the finest audio-quality high-density particle board
is used in this seaied bookshelf-type enclosure. A
real-wood exterior with a black finish appiied in 7
coatings adds rugged durability and beauty to profes-
sionai-quaiity sound.
Crossover Network
Low-distortion inductors and selected MP capacitors
are combined in a carefuliy designed iayout to ensure
smooth crossover with minimum loss and distortion.
Speaker Terminals
Large screw-type terminals easily accept heavy-gauge
speaker cable for optimum reproduction performance.
