• The nominal impedance of this speaker system is 6 Ω.

Connect the speaker system to an amplifier with a load

impedance ranging from 4 Ω to 16 Ω (a model with “4 Ω to 16

Spike bases x3

Ω” displayed on the speaker output terminals).

In order to prevent damage to the speaker system resulting

from input overload, please observe the following precautions:

• Do not supply power to the speaker system in excess of the

maximum permissible input.

• When using a graphic equalizer to emphasize loud sounds in

the high-frequency range, do not use excessive amplifier

volume.

• Do not try to force a low-powered amplifier to produce loud

volumes of sound (the amplifier’s harmonic distortion will be

increased, and you may damage the speaker).

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.
