PRO-LX5 II Two-Way Die- Cast Speaker
Your PRO-LX5 II Two-Way Die-Cast
Speaker is small in size, but not in
sound! Its 5-inch polypropylene woofer
accurately tracks signals to provide out standing bass, while the wide-an gle dipole tweeter produces crisp, detailed
highs with 360
dispersion.
×
Your speaker’s acousti c design matches the woofer and tweeter with the enclosure and damping materials to
provide amazingly smooth and broad
frequency response.
Your PRO-LX5 I I can handl e up to 130
watts of power. The speaker is magnetically shielded, so you can safely place
it next to your television or monitor.

SPEAKER PLACEMENT
Location and position are vital to your
speaker’s performance. The i deal location is on a table or shelf positioned near
the corner of a room. A shelf attached to
a wooden wall (or some other acoustically hard surface) greatly reinforces the
speaker’s sound quality. If possible,
place the front edge of the speaker flush
with the front edge of t he shelf. For the
best sound, avoid floor locations; floor
coverings can absorb much of the
sound.
We recommend t hat you p lay a fam iliar,
wide-range recording and experiment
with speaker placement until you find
the location that provides the best sound
for your needs.
If you are using another speaker with
your PRO-LX5 II, for the best stereo image, the distance betwee n your speakers should be about equal to the
distance from the main listening area to
a point halfway between the speakers.

If you must place your speakers farther
apart, turn them slightly inward.
You can mount your PRO-LX5 II on a
wall, under a shelf, or on a cei ling using
optional speaker brackets (RadioShack
Cat. No. 40-2063). Or, you can use a
3
/8inch wall-mount speaker bracket. Follow
the instructions provided with the brackets.
Note:
When you use

panel of the speaker
so you can thread the

other type of mounting bracket, use the
mounting holes (indicated by the arrows)
and leave the screw
in place.
A TTACHING THE RUBBER
FEET
Rubber feet are supplied with your
speaker so it will not scratch your furniture. With the thicker feet (marked A)
positioned toward the front corners of
the speaker and the thinner feet
(marked B) positioned toward the back
corners, remove the pap er backing and
press all four feet onto the bottom of the
speaker.

CONNECTIONS
With the speaker placed at t he desired
location, measure t he distance from the
speaker to the amplifier. Use 18-gauge
speaker wire for a distance of 50 feet or
less. For a distance greater than 50 feet,
use heavier 16-gauge wire.
For the maximum bass response and
overall best performance, connect the
speaker in phase (– to – and + to +).
Speaker wire i s either color-coded, with
a different color on each side, or coded
with a ridge or stripe on one side to identify the wire’s different sides, m ak ing the
connection easier. RadioShack stores
sell speaker wire to meet most needs.
Follow these steps to prepare the wire
and connect the speaker.
1. Separate the wire conductors for a
length of about 2 inches, then remove about
from the wire’s ends using a wire
stripper.

the opening. Then turn the terminal
clockwise to tighten it.
3. Turn the speaker’s positive (+) terminal counterclockwise to loosen it
and insert the other wire end into the
opening. Then turn the terminal
clockwise to tighten it.
4. Using the speaker wire’s cod ing as
a guide, connect the other end of
the speaker wire to the amplifier’s
corresponding (+ or –) speak er terminals.

If you ever want to remove the front

MAINTENANCE
Your PRO-LX5 II Two-Way Die-Cast Speaker is an example of superior design and
craftsmanship. The following suggestions will help you care for your speaker so you
can enjoy it for years.
Keep the speaker dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liquids

Use and store the speaker only in normal temperature environments.
Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices and
distort or melt plastic parts.
Keep the speaker a way from dus t and dirt, which can cause prem ature wear of parts.
Handle the speaker gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage circuit boards and cases and can cause the speaker to work improperly.
Wipe the speaker’s metal surfaces with a damp cloth occasionally to
keep it looking new. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning s olvents ,
or strong detergents to clean the speaker.
Caution:
um cleaner. Instead, use a feather duster or a soft cloth.
