4. Setup
4.1 Unpacking
Carefully remove the speaker from its packaging. Retain the packaging for future transport or storage.
4.2 Speaker Placement
Optimal speaker placement is crucial for sound quality. Consider the following:
- Stereo Setup: For a stereo pair, place the speakers equidistant from your primary listening position, forming an equilateral triangle.
- Distance from Walls: Experiment with placing the speakers a few feet away from walls to reduce bass boom and improve soundstage.
- Toe-in: Angle the speakers slightly inward towards the listening position (toe-in) to optimize imaging.
- Stability: Ensure the speaker is stable on its feet or spikes.

4.3 Connecting to an Amplifier
Before connecting, ensure your amplifier is turned off and unplugged from the power outlet.
- Use high-quality speaker cables. Strip approximately 1/2 inch (1.2 cm) of insulation from the ends of the speaker wires.
- Connect the positive (+) terminal (red) on the speaker to the positive (+) terminal on your amplifier.
- Connect the negative (-) terminal (black) on the speaker to the negative (-) terminal on your amplifier.
- Ensure all connections are secure and that no stray wire strands are touching other terminals, which could cause a short circuit.
Maintain correct polarity for both speakers to ensure proper stereo imaging and bass response.

5. Operating
Once the speakers are properly connected to your amplifier:
- Ensure all connections are secure.
- Turn on your amplifier and select the desired audio source.
- Start with the amplifier volume at its lowest setting and gradually increase it to a comfortable listening level.
- Avoid playing audio at excessively high volumes for extended periods, as this can damage the speakers and your hearing.
6. Maintenance
- Cleaning the Cabinet: Use a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to wipe the speaker cabinet. For stubborn marks, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by a dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Cleaning the Grille: The speaker grille can be gently vacuumed with a soft brush attachment to remove dust. If removable, it can be hand-washed with mild soap and water, then air-dried completely before reattaching.
- Driver Care: Avoid touching the speaker drivers (woofers, midrange, tweeter) as this can cause damage.
- Storage: If storing the speakers for an extended period, use the original packaging to protect them from dust and physical damage.
