Introduction

Thank you for choosing the P Series speakers system. Extensive design and engineering effort

has gone into the development process to make them the most stylish and high performing

speakers that augment today's finest flat screen monitors. They answer the real need for small,

exquisite, yet high performance speakers with extraordinary sound quality that rival or

exceed that produced by far larger and more intrusive designs. With proper care and by

following instructions on the manual, these speakers will provide you with a long time of

enjoyment on music and the most realistic home theater experience. The extraordinary sound

and build quality of the P speakers can be contributed to each and every components used.

Cabinet

Apart from being unabashedly stylish, the P speaker cabinet enclosures are made of the

highest grade CNC processed aluminum pieces to achieve maximum rigidity and lowest

resonance. The enclosure itself is also precisely shaped to increase the aluminum

extrusion's already excellent rigidity. It enables you to hear just the audio signal itself, and

not the cabinet's extraneous contribution.

Drivers

Proprietary, small sized multiple bass/midrange drivers are used on the P speakers. These

small metal cone units feature 1” multiple-layer voice coils and neodymium magnets for

high power handling. The center-mounted silk-dome tweeter is also built to higher

standards than you would ordinarily expect. Here, the multi-layer voice coil/neodymium

magnet motor is augmented with ferrofluid, a highly viscous suspension of magnetic

particles in a sophisticated lubricant that damps spurious response for better sound while it

dissipates heat to increase reliability.

Crossovers

The crossover is precisely engineered to make the most of the drivers. On the P6, multiple

filter sets let all six bass/midrange drivers handle deeper bass while gradually limiting

higher frequencies to those drivers closets to the tweeter. The P2 circuit uses moderate slope

at 3 kHz, which helps optimize the P2's tonal balance. Specifically designed with a 10-Ohm

input impedance, the P2 network minimizes the potentially harmful effect of long runs of

speaker wire, a common situation when the P2 is used for surround applications.

Finest electronic components are chosen to deliver the purest sound quality with least

resistance.

Caution: Unpacking & Handling

Though being small in size, the P speakers have proportionally substantial weight. Cabinets

are made from aluminum with delicate surface finish to ensure the most refined look. Please

handle with care when unpacking and try not to cause any scratch marks on the

aluminum surface from hard objects.

Placement

Front speakers - Front speakers should be mounted on wall, close to both sides of TV screen.

Center speaker - Center speaker should be mounted immediately with closest distance

possible to the TV screen. This position ensures perfect integration between picture and

sound, thus the optimum and realistic experience.

Note: For best integrated sound effect, tweeter position of front and center speaker should

be at the same level, i.g. all three tweeters are at the same distance above floor.

Rear speakers - The “surround” speaker position is an important element in achieving a

realistic home theater experience. Mount rear speaker on side walls in line with the listening

position, or on the back wall, no move than 6.5 feet (2M) above floor. Please ensure the

speakers are not too far from listening position or the effect will diminish. Before mounting

brackets on walls, you may try to move the rear speakers on different locations to get the

best “feel” of surround effect.

Subwoofer - The PSW-1 subwoofer is designed aesthetically to be placed on the floor in

front of the TV screen, or on the bottom shelf of your entertainment rack. When place below

a rack at this more “hidden” position, make sure you adjust all functions on back panel at

desired position first.

Wall Mounting Instructions

Each P speaker is equipped with a wall mounting bracket. One of the two parts from this

bracket is pre-installed on the back of the cabinet. Please refer to diagram below.

Connection

Note: Amplifier should be switched off and disconnected from power while you are

connecting speakers to amplifier. Turn your amplifier on only after you check and make

sure speakers are properly connected.

Connections are made at the terminals located on the back of the loudspeaker system. The

terminals accept spade plugs, bare wire or banana plugs.

Locate the Front Speaker, Center Speaker and Rear Speaker terminals on your AV amplifier.

For each channel, the RED terminal and the BLACK terminal on the speaker must be

connected to the corresponding RED (+) and BLACK (-) loudspeaker connections on the

amplifier. Make sure you follow this + to + and to connecting method so the speakers are

working in phase for best bass response and imaging.

Please use highest quality speaker cables with shortest distance from speaker to amplifier to

ensure least resistance and signal lost.

Turn amplifier power on only after you check to make sure all connections are made

correctly.

Subwoofer Instructions

The P speakers must be used in combination with a subwoofer to have bass performance and

provide full impact from motion pictures. For best integration and smooth transition, use

PSW-1 subwoofer for your system. For operating instructions on the PSW-1, please refer to

its separate manual.

General Care

When cleaning the P speakers, use clean, lint free and slightly damped soft cloth to

remove surface dust from cabinets. Use a very clean and dry soft cloth to carefully

remove dust from drivers. Make sure there are no abrasive particles in the cloth, or

they may leave scratch marks on cabinets or cause damage on drivers. As tweeter is

very fragile, take great care not to touch the dome area in the middle. Blow dust off

lightly by air if necessary.

Never use any solutions with chemical ingredient to clean the speakers.

Warranty Information

The P Series speakers come with warranty period of 3 years, starting from the date of

purchase. This warranty is provided to original owner, and covers defect in materials

or workmanship that occurs in normal use. This warranty excludes damage that
