It had long been the practice of stereo buffs to
connect their television to a stereo system. The
advantage was the use of the larger speakers and
more powerful amplifier of the stereo system. Even
though the sound was greatly improved, it was still
both the left and right channel speakers. If bass is
nonexistent and you cannot discern a tight, coher-
ent image, you may need to reverse the (+) and
(–) leads on one speaker to bring the system into
proper polarity.

INSTALLING ON A FLAT SURFACE

If you have a surface that provides a wide, level,
and stable platform, the speaker can be placed
directly on top. Note: This speaker is not magneti-
cally shielded and therefore should not be placed
directly beside or atop a CRT television.

VERTICAL DISPERSION

For optimal performance, the Folded Motion tweet-
er and electrostatic panel should be aimed in the
direction of your ears when sitting in your primary
listening position. The bottom of the speaker fea-
tures an adjustable foot that allows the speaker to
be easily aimed.
When this speaker is installed on a low surface,
leave the adjustable foot flush with the bottom of
the speaker so the electrostatic panel and Folded
Motion tweeter aims slightly upward.
If your speaker is installed near or slightly below
ear height, extend the adjustable foot so the elec-
trostatic panel and Folded Motion tweeter are
vertical.
