Unpacking the Speakers
Use care when unpacking these speakers as they are large and heavy. Since
the grilles are packed off the speakers, be particularly careful of the driver
elements as you unpack and move the speakers.
Attaching the Grilles
The included metal grilles are held to the front of the enclosures with pow-
erful Neodymium magnets. There are recesses on the back of the grille that
the magnets fit into. Once the speakers are in their final position, remove
the grille from its protective plastic bag and carefully position it over the
magnets on the baffle. Move them together slowly and when you get close
enough, the magnets will draw the grille in and hold it tight. Be careful not
to get your fingers caught between the grille and the cabinet.
