NOTICE

To avoid the possibility of malfunction/ damage to the product, damage to data, or damage to other property, follow the notices below.
Handling and maintenance
• Do not use the device in the vicinity of a TV, radio, AV equipment, mobile phone, or other electric devices. Otherwise, the device, TV, or radio may generate noise.
• Do not expose the device to excessive dust or vibration, or extreme cold or heat (such as in direct sunlight, near a heater, or in a car during the day), in order to prevent the possibility of panel disfiguration, unstable operation, or damage to the internal components.
• Do not place vinyl, plastic or rubber objects on the device, since this might discolor the panel.
• When cleaning the device, use a dry and soft cloth. Do not use paint thinners, solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical­impregnated wiping cloths.
• Condensation can occur in the device due to rapid, drastic changes in ambient temperature—when the device is moved from one location to another, or air conditioning is turned on or off, for example. Using the device while condensation is present can cause damage. If there is reason to believe that condensation might have occurred, leave the device for several hours without turning on the power until the condensation has completely dried out.
• During extreme changes in temperature or humidity, condensation may occur and water may collect on the surface of the device. If water is left, the wooden parts may absorb the water and be damaged. Make sure to wipe any water off immediately with a soft cloth.
• Do not place the speaker face down.
• These speakers should be used vertically, not laid on their side.
• Avoid touching or allowing objects to come in contact with the speaker diaphragms.
• Air blowing out of the bass reflex ports is normal, and often occurs when the speaker is handling program material with heavy bass content.
• Always turn the power off when the device is not in use.
Connectors
• XLR-type connectors are wired as follows (IEC60268 standard): pin 1: ground, pin 2: hot (+), and pin 3: cold (-).

Connectable cables

XLR type
XLR type connectors are widely used in professional audio equipment and installations. The XLR type connectors provided on the HS series speakers are primarily intended for use with balanced connections.
Phone type
Phone type connectors can be used for both unbalanced and balanced connections. Cables fitted with TRS (tip, ring, sleeve) phone plugs are necessary for balanced connections to the HS series speakers. The construction of TRS phone plugs is basically the same as stereo phone plugs.
For unbalanced connections, connect standard mono phone plug cables to the HS speaker phone connectors.
RCA pin
Source devices that only have RCA pin type output connectors can be connected via RCA pin plug to phone plug conversion cables (cables with an RCA pin plug on one end and a phone plug on the other). Connections using RCA pin plug to phone plug conversion cables are unbalanced.
Pin 2: hot (+) Pin 3: cold (-)
Pin 1: ground
Pin 1: ground
Pin 3: cold (-) Pin 2: hot (+)
Balanced connections: These effectively cancel
noise picked up from external sources. Balanced connections allow for longer cable runs that would probably otherwise result in more noise being picked up.
Unbalanced connections: Commonly used to
connect electronic musical instruments and guitars, etc., to amplification equipment. If your cable runs do not extend past one or two meters, unbalanced cables can probably be used without any problems.
Tip: hot (+)
Ring: cold (-)
Sleeve: ground
