Preparing the loudspeaker
Connection Procedure:
There is a specific procedure to be followed:
• Switch off and unplug the amplifier/s and all source electronics from the mains power.
• Place both loudspeakers in the general area where you want them.
• Place each loudspeaker on its side, in its partial packing, as described in the unpacking instructions.
• Connect each loudspeaker.
• Attach the spikes following the instructions under the "finalizing the assembly" section of this manual
• Dress the loudspeaker cable between the rear spikes.
• Stand the loudspeaker upright using great care not to damage connecting cables, furniture or the floor.
• Lift off the top packing piece and the protective cloth bag.
• Run both sets of loudspeaker cable to the amplifier
• Connect the amplifier
• Finalize the position of the loudspeakers.
• Finally fit the grilles (if desired)
TAKE CARE NOT TO TOUCH THE DRIVE UNITS WHEN YOU MOVE THE LOUDSPEAKERS AROUND.
TO PRESERVE THE FINISH, USE THE PROVIDED GLOVES WHEN HANDLING YOUR LOUDSPEAKERS.
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 fit the grilles: Fit the top grille first and line it up with the top and sides of the
cabinet. There is a small lip on the top of the grille that should rest on the top of
the cabinet. Now fit 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.
Although operating the P-39F loudspeakers with the grilles on or off 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.
Which Way Round?
The P-39F is manufactured in matched pairs and “handed”. Our preferred
method of positioning is to place the loudspeakers with the ports facing
outward. However this may not be suitable for all rooms, so be prepared to
experiment.
