Please read this manual completely to ensure the best possible performance from

your Home Theater or sound system.

SPEAKER PROTECTION:

One special feature of the Quantum Plasma speakers is an overload protection circuit

designed to help protect the speaker from accidental overload. This protection circuit

will automatically attenuate the overall output of a speaker when it senses excessive

volume level. If you hear this protection circuit engaging, (and it will be obvious when

this occurs), please turn down your receiver’s volume. Your speaker will quickly return

to its normal operation.

CONNECTIONS:

Complete all wire connections in your Home Theater/Sound system before powering

up your receiver. Be sure to observe proper polarity for all speaker wire connections:

receiver PLUS (red terminal) to speaker PLUS, receiver MINUS (black terminal) to

speaker minus. For the best results, we recommend 12, 14 or 16 gauge wire; consult

your dealer for options.

To connect your speaker wire to your speaker's binding posts, twist the bare wire

strands together tightly, then insert through the hole which becomes visible when the

knurled knob is screwed counterclockwise. The wire must then be secured by

screwing the knob back clockwise until snug. Remember, loose strands of wire may

cause short circuits. Upon completion, gently tug at all connections to ensure they are

fastened securely and re-check for correct polarity.

HOME THEATER SETUP: (5 Quantum Plasma Speakers)

All Quantum Plasma Speakers can be used in front, center or rear speaker positions.

• Connect your left & right speakers to your receiver's left & right main (front

speaker) outputs.

• Connect your center channel speakers to your receiver’s center channel speaker

output.

• Connect your left & right surround channel speakers to your receiver’s left & right

surround (rear) channels’ speaker outputs.

VERY IMPORTANT!

Be sure your receiver’s center, main & surround channel modes are all set to SMALL

(NORMAL). This will allow for the greatest bass impact from your system.

RECOMMENDED MAIN AND CENTER SPEAKER PLACEMENT:

• The best distance between the main speakers is dependent upon room

conditions, size, and the proximity of the listening area to the speakers; usually 6-

12 feet is appropriate. A bit of experimentation is in order, but smaller rooms will

better tolerate closer spacing between the speakers.

• We recommend you place your center speaker horizontally on top of (or just

below) your TV.

RECOMMENDED SURROUND SPEAKER PLACEMENT:

• Behind you, equally spaced to your left and right.

One general rule of thumb: try to position speakers so that the tweeter's level is fairly

close to your ear level in your normal listening position. High frequencies are much

more directional than low frequencies so it is best that your ears are within a fairly

direct path to the tweeter's output.
