$Before connecting the subwoofer unit to a power outlet, make sure that the operating
voltage of the local power supply is identical to that specified for the subwoofer.
$Ensure that your amplifier is switched off, before connecting the speakers.
$Turn off the subwoofer before connecting the input signal cable on its internal amplifier.
$Make sure that you have connected the plus (+) and minus (-) terminals of each speaker
to the corresponding plus (+) and minus (-) terminals on the amplifier.
$Make sure that all screws on the binding posts are tight enough, especially if you are
using bare speaker wires. A contact between bare speaker wires may cause short-circuit and
potentially damage your equipment.
$Avoid the use of your amplifier in its power limits. Especially, in the case that your
amplifier is of low power, the continuous use in high power levels can cause distortion of the
signal, amplifier clipping and may cause severe damage to your speakers
$Therefore, high power amplifiers are more preferable.
$Do not drive speaker units with a continuous wattage exceeding the maximum power
indicated in this instruction manual for each speaker model.
$Use the best speaker and interconnect cables you can afford.
$Do not place loudspeakers in dusty or humid environments.
$Avoid exposure to direct sunlight.
Caution:
Your SmArt speakers come with electronically protected tweeter in order to avoid
problems of overheating that can cause their destruction.
However for even greater protection, avoid extremely high volumes in your amplifier that can
distort your sound signal or cause severe damage to your amplifier and your speakers.

1.1 SSmArt SSystems wwith TTHX-SSUB SSpeaker SSystem
SmArt Speakers are designed to be used perfectly with the THX select certified
Subwoofers offering that way supreme THX quality in affordable prices. SmArt speakers are
not THX certified because of their small shape and the set of the amplifier's crossover at 120
Hz instead of 80 which is the requirement for the THX certification.
SmArt speakers have the extra ability to change their side panels making them able to
change colour whenever you change decor without having to change the entire speaker system! Just remove the side panels as you remove the grille from the speaker, replace them
with new ones of different colour and your speaker will transform to a new one according to
your aesthetics!
The sound integration is excellent with your THX-SUB subwoofer supporting flat anechoic
response from 35Hz to 200Hz and accurate in room response from 19Hz to 350Hz. So they
reproduce either the sound of music or movies with the authority of larger and more expensive speakers.
Your SmArt & THX-SUB System not only use THX technology for the low frequencies but
also the best Hi-End 'Small' Towers for the mid and high frequencies supporting:
$
Electronic pprotection
for the tweeter and the woofer.
$
Magnetic sshielding
.
$
Absolutely fflat
frequency response.
$
Wide hhorizontal ddispersion
to hear full and flat frequency response across the room.
$
Controlled vvertical ddispersion
to diminish the ceiling and floor reflections and provide
superior imaging.
$
High ppower
handling
200WRmsMax/200Hz
for safe operation with powerful AV Receivers.
$
High SSensitivity
very important for low power AV Receivers.
$
Removable sside ppanels
in 4 different (silver, dark cherry, maple, black) for easy change
of colour and style whenever you change decor.
