4. ABOUT THE INPUT OVERLOAD PROTECTION CIRCUITRY The speaker system features internal input overload protection circuitry. If an extremely high input level is fed to the unit, the protection circuitry automatically cuts off the signal to the tweeters. A drastic reduction in sound volume for the high frequency range indicates that the protection circuitry has been enabled. In such cases, simply reduce the amplifier volume. The protection circuitry will automatically reset in approximately 10 s

9. CHANGING THE SPEAKER'S DIRECTIVITY ANGLE The speaker system's directivity angle mode is factory-preset to 60°, but this mode can be changed to 45°, 30°, or 15° by following the procedure described below. The figure on the right shows the speaker system in 60° mode. directivity angle 60° Step 1. Loosen the 2 bolts on the input section side. Input section Step 2. Turn the speaker system upside down. Then, loosen the 4 bolts indicated by arrows. 7

Step 3. Reposition the 4 bolts to the desired directivity angle, then retighten them securely. The sound coverage area can also be made asymmetrical by shifting the position of each bolt to different directivity angle. 15° mode [60° mode (factory-preset)] Example of independent angle adjustment Angle adjustment section 30° mode 45° mode 15° mode 60° mode Step 4. Reposition the speaker system by turning it upside down. Then, tighten the 2 bolts loosened in step 1. Observe the following instruct

10. SUSPENDED INSTALLATION The speaker systems may be suspended either vertically or horizontally. [Vertical suspension] [Horizontal suspension] Step 1. For vertical suspension: Remove the speaker grill on the module to be suspended. (Below, upper) For horizontal suspension: Remove the speaker grills on the modules at both ends of the speaker system. (Below, lower) Remove the grill fixing screws using the supplied hex head wrench. Speaker grill Grill fixing screw [Vertical suspension] Speaker mo

Step 3. Fix the suspension bracket and the front bar with the bolts removed in step 2. Observe the following instructions to tighten the bolts securely. Failure to do this could cause the speaker to fall, potentially WARNING resulting in damage and/or personal injury. • Ensure that each bolt is correctly inserted into its slot before tightening it. • Bolts can be tightened using either a Phillips screwdriver or a wrench, but be sure to finish the tightening with the wrench to ensure optimum tig

Step 6. Suspend the speaker system using appropriate commercially obtained wires, chains, or anchor shackles. To mount the speaker system horizontally, rotate the speaker system's rear plate 90° from the factory-preset orientation. For details, refer to p. 5, Changing the orientation of rear plate. Be sure to select wires, chains, and/or anchor shackles with a WARNING safety factor appropriate to the weight of the speaker system. Incorrect selection of these suspension components may cause the

11. DIRECT WALL MOUNTING Observe the following instructions when mounting the speakers on a wall. Doing otherwise may cause the speaker system to fall, potentially WARNING resulting in damage and/or personal injury. • Use anchor bolts, nuts, and washers with specifications appropriate for carrying the load of the speaker system. Also ensure that the structure of the wall is robust enough to stand the weight of the speaker. • Take measures to prevent nuts and bolts from loosening and sliding out

13. COMBINATION WITH THE MT-200 MATCHING TRANSFORMER Using the optional MT-200 matching transformer allows the speaker system to be connected to a high- impedance amplifier. This matching transformer is best for use when the distance between the amplifier and speaker is very long, or when multiple speaker systems are parallel-connected to a single amplifier. Regarding the procedure for mounting the transformer on the speaker, refer to the instruction manual enclosed with the MT-200. 14. EQUALIZ
