Your Two-Way Bookshelf Speaker is small in size, but not in sound! Its 5-inch cone woofer with patented honeycomb material between two layers of woven fiberglass provides superior rigidity for outstanding bass performance with minimal distortion. The wide-angle Lineaum dipole tweeter produces crisp, detailed
°
highs with 360
Your speaker's acoustic design matches the woofer and tweeter with the enclosure and damping materials to provide amazingly smooth and broad frequency response. Your speaker can handle up to 150 watts of power.
The speaker is magnetically shielded, so you can safely place it next to your television or monitor.
SSSSPPPPEEEEAAAAKKKKEEEER
Location and position are vital to your speaker's performance. The ideal location is on a table or shelf positioned near the corner of a room. A shelf attached to a wooden wall (or some other acoustically­sound hard surface) greatly reinforces the speaker's sound quality. If possible, place the front edge of the speaker flush with the front edge of the shelf. For the best sound, avoid floor locations; floor coverings can absorb much of the sound.
dispersion.

We recommend that you play a familiar, wide-range recording and experiment with speaker placement until you find the location that provides the best sound.
If you are using another speaker with this one, for the best stereo sound, the distance between 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 speaker on a wall, on a ceiling or under a shelf using optional speaker brackets (not supplied) or a
3
/8-inch wall-mount speaker bracket (not supplied), both available at your local RadioShack store. Follow the instructions provided with the brackets.
NNNNooootttteeee:::: When you

use a
/8-inch wall­mount bracket, remove the screw on the back panel of the speaker so you can thread the ball shaft. For any other type of mounting bracket, use the four mounting holes (indicated by the arrows) and leave the screw in place.

Rubber feet are supplied with your speaker so it will not scratch your furniture. Make sure you apply the thicker feet to the speaker’s front corners if you want the speaker to point up or to the back corners if you want it to point down. Remove the paper backing and press all four feet onto the bottom of the speaker.

With the speaker placed at the desired location, measure the 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.
NNNNooootttteeee:::: For the maximum bass response and overall best performance, connect speakers in phase — positive to positive (+ to +) and negative to negative (– to –).
Speaker wire is either color-coded, with a different color on each wire, or coded with a ridge or stripe on one wire to differentiate it from the other, making the connection easier. Your local RadioShack store carries a wide selection of speaker wire.
Follow these steps to prepare the wire and connect the speaker.
2. Turn the speaker's negative (–) terminal counterclockwise to loosen it, then insert one of the wire ends into the opening. Turn the terminal clockwise to tighten it.
3. Turn the speaker's positive (+) terminal counterclockwise to loosen it, then insert the other wire end into the opening. Turn the terminal clockwise to tighten it.
4. Using the speaker wire's coding as a guide, connect the other end of the speaker wire to the amplifier's corresponding (+ or –) speaker terminals.

Your Two-Way Bookshelf 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. Use and store the speaker only in normal temperature environments. Handle the speaker carefully; do not drop it. Keep the speaker away from dust and dirt, and wipe it with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking new.
