STS 600 61/2-Inch Two-Way Mini Tower Speaker
Your Optimus STS 600 61/2-Inch TwoWay Mini Tower Speaker is a two-way acoustic suspension speaker that uses a 61/2-inch vacuum-formed polypropylene woofer that yields excellent lowend response and tight, clean bass. A 3/4-inch urethane-treated cloth soft dome tweeter provides clear and natural high-frequency sound reproduction.
The speaker cabinet is solid in construction and finished in genuine woodgrain vinyl.
The decorative grille is acoustically transparent.
Note: You need speaker wire (not supplied) to connect your speaker. Please read this entire manual before you connect your speaker.
SPEAKER PLACEMENT
Cautions:
•To prevent the cabinet from warping or discoloring, do not place the speaker where it is exposed to direct sunlight or excessive humidity.
•Do not place the speaker where it might be knocked over or hit by falling objects.

Your local RadioShack store has a wide selection of speaker wire. We recommend you use color-coded or marked wire to help you correctly connect the wire. Some color-coded wires have a stripe running down one side of the conductors. Some marked wires have ridges along one side of the conductors.
If you must place speakers farther apart than recommended, you can turn them slightly toward each other to achieve a more realistic effect.
For a slight increase in bass response, place your speakers against a wall or in a corner.
Avoid placing your speakers on a surface that absorbs sound, such as thick carpeting.
Experiment to find the best setup for your sound system.
With a pair of speakers in their approximate locations, measure the distance from each speaker to the amplifier. Use 18-gauge speaker wire or lamp cord for distances up to 50 feet. For greater distances, use 16-gauge wire.
