system, separate them by the maximum practical distance and cross them at right
angles where they meet. Do not twist or tie AC power cords with speaker cables.

Operation
The HDP-1 was designed to handle a wide range of listening levels, but every
speaker has limits. It is important to use common sense and listen for signs of
possible distress from the speakers. Underpowered amplifiers are most often the
cause of speaker damage. For example, a 60-watt amplifier runs out of power
when called upon to produce more than 60 watts, and the resulting distortion can
damage the speaker. If you tend to listen at high voumes, more powerful
amplifiers are preferable because they are less likely to run out of power.
Noticeable distortion or harsh breakup is an indication that either your amplifier or
your speakers are running beyond their capacity, and the volume should be
decreased. If you can feel any heat emanating from the woofer or tweeter, reduce
the level immediately. Speaker damage most often occurs from sustained high
volume levels, not from transient sounds or brief musical peaks. Excessive boost-
ing of bass, treble or equalizer controls can worsen the problem, and is not
recommended.

the grille, first remove it from the speaker, then brush lightly with a soft brush or
