Phasing Test
To make sure that your speakers are connected to your receiver in phase (positive
to positive and negative to negative) perform this simple test:
1. Set your receiver or amplifier to MONO if that is an option. Set the balance
control to the middle (normal) position.
2. Temporarily place the loudspeakers so they are facing each other at close
range.
3. Play some deep bass passages of music through the speakers. The sound
should seem to come from a point directly between the speakers, with full, rich
bass.
4. If the music seems to be lacking in deep bass, reverse the + and – connec-
tions on one speaker and repeat the test. Use the connection which produces the
most powerful bass.
Using the Speakers with a TV
To use your 101 Series II speakers in an audio/video system, be sure to place the
speakers at least nine inches from the television monitor. This prevents interfer-
ence with the picture quality.
Problem Reason/Solution
Only one speaker plays. One speaker wire is improperly connected. Check
the wires and connections. See Figure 2.
Adjust the balance control on your receiver or
amplifier.
Neither speaker plays. Your receiver or amplifier is set for operation with
headphones only. Reset your receiver or amplifier.
The tape monitor switch on your receiver or ampli-
fier is in the on or tape position. Reset the tape
monitor switch.
Weak bass. Speakers may be out of phase. Perform the
“Phasing Test” and reconnect them.
Maintenance
To clean your speakers, turn off your receiver or amplifier. Then, simply wipe with
a damp cloth. Be sure to keep moisture away from the speaker terminals.
