TROUBLESHOOTING

No Output

•Check that all your system components are turned on.

•Check your speaker wires and connections.

•Check all interconnecting cables.

Weak Output, Loss of Highs

•Check the power cord. Is it properly connected to the speaker?

Exaggerated Highs, Brightness

•Check the toe-in of the speakers. Read Placement (pages 8–9)

for more information.

Muddy Bass

•Check placement. Try moving the speakers closer to the

front and side walls.

•Check the type of feet that are being used. Try attaching

the coupling spikes.

Lack of Bass

•Check your speaker wires. Is the polarity correct?

Poor Imaging

•Check placement. Are both speakers the same distance

from the walls? Do they have the same amount of

toe-in? Try moving the speakers away from the back

and side walls.

•Check the polarity of the speaker wires. Are they

connected properly?

Popping and Ticking Sounds, Funny Noises

•These occasional noises are harmless and will not hurt your

audio system or your speakers. All electrostatic speakers

are guilty of making odd noises at one time or another.

•These noises may be caused by dirt and dust particles

collecting on the speaker, by high humidity, or by AC

line fluctuations that may occur in your area.

•Dirt and dust may be vacuumed off with a brush attachment

connected to your vacuum cleaner, or you may blow

them off with compressed air.
