Operating
Initial Power On
Once connected to your amplifier, turn on your amplifier and select the appropriate input source. Gradually increase the volume to a comfortable listening level.
Sound Adjustment
Adjust the bass, treble, and balance settings on your amplifier to suit your personal preference and room acoustics. The SHFT60B speakers are designed to deliver clear highs and deep bass.
Maintenance
Cleaning
To clean the speaker cabinets, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or abrasive materials, as these may damage the finish. For the speaker grilles, gently vacuum or brush away dust.
Storage
If storing the speakers for an extended period, ensure they are kept in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No sound from speakers | Incorrect wiring; Amplifier off or wrong input selected; Damaged cables. | Check all speaker connections (positive to positive, negative to negative). Ensure amplifier is on and correct input is selected. Test with different audio cables if available. |
| Distorted sound | Volume too high; Amplifier clipping; Damaged speaker driver. | Reduce volume. Check amplifier's power output and ensure it matches speaker's impedance. If distortion persists at low volumes, contact support. |
| One speaker not working | Loose connection; Damaged cable; Faulty amplifier channel. | Check connections for the non-working speaker. Swap speaker cables to determine if the issue is with the speaker or the cable/amplifier channel. |
