Before you start

• The nominal impedance of this speaker system is 6 

Ω

. 

Connect the speaker system to an amplifier with a load 

impedance ranging from 6 

Ω

 to 16 

Ω

 (a model with “6

Ω

– 

16

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: installation

• When placing this unit, ensure that it is firmly secured and 

avoid areas where it may be likely to fall and cause injury in the 

event of a natural disaster (such as an earthquake).

• Do not attach these speakers to the wall or ceiling. They may 

fall off and cause injury.

• Do not install your speakers overhead on the ceiling or wall. If 

improperly attached, the speaker grille can fall and cause 

damage or personal injury.

• Switch off and unplug your AV equipment and consult the 

instructions when connecting up components. Make sure you 

use the correct connecting cables.

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.
