TAKE CARE NOT TO TOUCH THE DRIVE UNITS WHEN YOU MOVE THE LOUDSPEAKERS AROUND.
TO PRESERVE THE FINISH, WHEN HANDLING YOUR SPEAKERS, USE THE GLOVES THAT ARE PROVIDED.
Fitting and Removing the Grilles
The grilles are magnetically attached to the cabinet. Specially designed magnets
are housed inside the front wall of the loudspeaker, so that if you wish to operate
the loudspeaker with the grilles removed, no grille mounting hardware is visible.
This preserves the smooth lines of the loudspeaker.
To t the grilles: Fit the top grille rst and line it up with the top and sides of the
cabinet. For the P-38F, P-37F and P-17B there is a small lip on the top of the grille
that should rest on the top of the cabinet. Now, t the lower grille, lining up the
top of the lower grille with the bottom of the upper grille. You may now remove
the top grille if you wish. (The P-17B, P-27C and P-27S have a single one-piece
grille only.)
Although operating the loudspeakers with the grilles on or o is a matter
of personal taste, moving or connecting the loudspeakers should always be done
with the grilles removed. Be especially careful not to touch the drive units.
