Caution: in use
• Do not place the speaker on an unstable surface. It could
present a hazard if it falls, as well as damaging the equipment.
• Do not use the speaker to output distorted sound for long
periods of times. This can result in a fire hazard.
• Do not sit or stand on the speaker, or let children play on the
speaker.
• Do not put large or heavy objects on top of the speaker.
• Do not place magnetic objects such as screwdrivers or iron
parts near the tweeter or midrange. Since the speakers use
strong magnets, the objects may be attracted, causing injury
or damaging the diaphragm.

About the EX series
The EX series, incorporating the abundant technological know-how behind Pioneer’s flagship TAD speaker series, was developed
with the goal of creating the ultimate speaker possible in its price range.
The design and production of the EX series result from an international effort that represents the finest in Pioneer’s speaker technology.

the direct and reflected sounds that arrive at the listener’s ears,
providing a more consistent sound throughout the listening room

How to install

surface facing up to receive the spike point.
These speakers are bookshelf-type speakers. They will provide best
performance when placed on a solid level surface away from the
floor. If placed directly on the floor, reverberation will be amplified,
producing a boomy, undefined sound. Ideally, the high-range
speakers (tweeters) should be placed at a height roughly the same
level as the listener’s ears. We recommend using the CP-4EX
speaker stand for optimum sound and stability. When using the
CP-4EX speaker stand, be sure to secure the speaker to the stand
with the provided screws to prevent the speaker from falling.
Installing the spikes
This speaker is provided with spikes and spike bases that should
be used to produce optimum sound quality.
Installation
1 Attach the spike nuts to the spikes.
2 Twist the spikes into the threaded metal inserts (M6)
embedded in the bottom of the speaker.

unit on a soft area (such as a blanket) so that it does not
damage the floor, and carry out the installation with at least
two people.
When not using the spikes
To assure stable installation, affix the non-skid pads to the bottom
surface of each speaker.
3 Set the spike bases in the positions where the points of
the spikes will strike when the speaker is set down.
Place enough spike bases to match the number of spikes used.
4 Rotate the spikes to adjust their height, then rotate the
spike nuts counterclockwise to fix the spikes at the adjusted
height.
5 Set the speaker on the spike bases and adjust to be sure
the speaker is level and does not rock.
6 When mounting the spikes in three locations only.
a) Rotate the auxiliary feet to adjust their height.
Adjust the height so that about 1 mm to 2 mm of space
remains open between the feet and the installation surface.
b) Rotate the spike nuts counterclockwise to fix the
auxiliary feet at their adjusted height.

differs, use cables of the same length, matched to the longer
distance.
• Cables have differing characteristics. Keep this in mind when
using any cable.
• Select cables with as little resistance as possible, and make
sure the cables to the speaker terminals and amp are firm and
secure.
CAUTION
• Grasp the cap knobs on the lower input terminals and rotate
them to the left (counter-clockwise), insert the speaker cable
wires into the holes in the terminal posts, then tighten the
knobs to secure the short bar as well as the wires.
• You can also connect the speaker’s terminals with a banana
plug. When using a banana plug, be sure to remove the cap at
the tip of the input terminal.
• After connecting the plugs, pull lightly on the cables to make
sure that the ends of the cables are securely connected to the
terminals. Poor connections can create noise and
interruptions in the sound.
• If the cables’ wires happen to be pushed out of the terminals,
allowing the wires to come into contact with each other, it
places an excessive additional load on the amp. This may
cause the amp to stop functioning, and may even damage the
amp.
• When using a set of speakers connected to an amplifier, you
won’t be able to obtain the normal stereo effect if the polarity
of one of the speakers (left or right) is reversed.

Bi-Amplification Connections
Bi-Amplification allows the best performance when using dedicated amplifiers for low- and mid-to-high-frequency sections.
