cables between your amplifi er’s positive output terminal and the two positive (red) terminals on the speaker. Then
connect the other two cables between the amp’s negative output terminal and the two negative (black) terminals on
the speakers.
If you chose not to bi-wire your speakers, do not remove the metal strips between the speaker terminals. Connect
each cable in the standard manner, with one cable each between the positive and negative speaker terminals and
your amplifi er.
Floor Spikes
Floor spikes may have been provided with your new Phase Technology speakers to steady the speaker cabinets,
especially on carpeting and uneven fl oor surfaces. Because most speakers tend to rock back and forth in small
increments due to the force of the in/out motions of speaker drivers, these movements can affect the speakers’
performance.
Attach the fl oor spikes by screwing them into the pre-drilled holes in the base of the speaker and tighten the nuts
securely. The sharp points will penetrate the carpet to make a more solid contract with the underlying fl oor surface.
If your fl oor is not rigid, the spikes may actually add to the rocking motion, so we recommend you audition the
speakers with and without the spikes inserted to see if you discover a personal preference in the sound quality.
Be especially careful when moving speaker cabinets with the spikes attached, as the points could damage
carpeting or scratch fl oors.
MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
Care for Your Speaker Cabinetry
All Phase Technology speakers are fi nished with a high degree of craftsmanship in either wood veneers or vinyl
laminates. We recommend using a fi ne-quality furniture polish to maintain the long-lasting beauty of weed veneers.
Avoid products containing silicones, oils, or oil derivatives. Enclosures fi nished in vinyl laminates may be cleaned
with a damp cloth as necessary.
Some Advice About Amplifi ers
If you are considering upgrading your amplifi er, we offer this advice: Purchase as much power as your budget
permits. It will always be better to have an affordable higher-powered amplifi er with fewer “bells and whistles” than a
lower powered model straining to operate near its power limits.
Critical questions about your current system – its power ratings, the number of speakers it can drive, future
expansion capabilities, and compatibility with multi-channel surround-sound systems – should be directed to your
Phase Technology dealer.
SERVICE ISSUES AND WARRANTY
Because of Phase Technology’s uncompromising quality control programs, it’s unlikely that your speakers will ever
need service if connected and used as outlined in this Owners’ Manual.
In the unlikely event that a problem does occur, please contact your Phase Technology dealer. Your dealer has
the necessary factory-authorized parts and trained technicians to quickly restore your speaker to its original
performance specifi cations. Please refer to the warranty card included with your new Phase Technology
loudspeakers.
