Unpacking and Assembly
Figure 2
Follow the instructions below for unpacking and assembling
the XRT2K Loudspeaker System. To protect the fine finish
of the XRT2K Loudspeaker System during the assembly
process, it is advisable to prepare a suitable assembly area.
A freshly vacuumed carpeted area covered with a soft, clean
fabric, such as a large bed linen or blanket would be suit-
able. Start by unpacking the Midrange/High Frequency Col-
umn.
It is recommended that the Professionals at your McIn-
tosh Dealer, who are skilled in all aspects of installation and
operation, install the XRT2K Loudspeaker System and any
associated audio equipment.
CAUTION: When this Loudspeaker is assembled
it weighs 452 pounds (205.0 kgs). It
requires four or more persons to
safely handle during assembly and
placement in the room.
