and changes in specification are subject to change without notice or obligation to retrofit. Should any discrepancy appear to

to the unit.
WARNING: CHEMICAL CONTENT NOTICE!
The solder used in the production of this product contains LEAD. In addition, other electrical/electronic and/or plastic (Where
applicable) components may also contain traces of chemicals found by the California Health and Welfare Agency (and possibly
other entities) to cause cancer and/or birth defects or other reproductive harm.
DO NOT PLACE SOLDER, ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC OR PLASTIC COMPONENTS IN YOUR MOUTH FOR ANY REASON WHAT
SO EVER!
Avoid prolonged, unprotected contact between solder and your skin! When soldering, do not inhale solder fumes or expose
eyes to solder/flux vapor!
If you come in contact with solder or components located inside the enclosure of this product, wash your hands before handling
food.
Protective Circuit (poly switch)
All full-range loudspeakers are fitted with a self-resetting poly switch that protects
the high-frequency driver from damage caused by excessive power. If a
loudspeaker cabinet loses high-frequency output, immediately remove power from
the unit and wait for two to three minutes. This should be long enough to allow the
poly switch to reset. Reapply power and check the performance of the highfrequency driver before continuing, with the power reduced to a level that does not
cause the poly switch to interrupt the signal. (On the subwoofers, the poly switch
protects the woofer and a similar routine should be followed if the output is lost.)
