two. Speaker Connections

Speakers and electronics ter-

minals have corresponding (+)

and (–) terminals. It is impor-

tant to connect both speakers

identically: (+) on the speaker

to (+) on the amplifier and (–)

on the speaker to (–) on the

amplifier. Wiring “out of phase”

results in thin sound, weak bass

and a poor stereo image.

The wires for both speakers

should be the same length. If

one speaker is placed closer to

the amplifier than the other,

hide the excess wire behind

the wall.

The AS SUB has two pairs of

speaker connections. Connect

one set of terminals (input)

to the left channel of your

amplifier. Connect the other set

of terminals (input) to the right

channel of your amplifier. Then

connect the left satellite to the

left output and the right satel-

lite to the right output.

Note: Diagram is for illustrative

purposes. For each channel it

does not matter which pair of

connectors is used for the input

or which pair is used for the

output.

Painting the Speaker Frame and Grille

AS Series loudspeakers can be

painted to match any style of

decor. If you wish to change

their color, the satin finish on

the grille and frame will func-

tion as a primer coat. Before

painting, install the paint guard

(in the assembly kit) securely

into the recess in the baffle.

This will protect the speaker

components and baffle from

paint residue.

Use a high-quality spray paint,

and apply a thin coat of color.

Be certain the grille perfora-

tions remain free of paint.

Filling them with paint will

diminish the sound quality.

Note: Gently remove the

acoustical foam blanket from

the grille before painting.

Reattach the blanket after the

paint has dried.

AS Series Owner’s Manual 9/11/98 12:51 PM Page 9

If there is no sound from

either of the speakers, check

the following:

• Receiver/amplifier is on and a

source is playing.

• Check all wires and connec-

tions between receiver/amplifier

and speakers. Make sure all wires

are connected. Make sure none

of the speaker wires are frayed,

cut, or punctured.

• Review proper operation of

your receiver/amplifier.

If there is no sound coming

from one speaker, check the

following:

• Check the “Balance” control on

your receiver/amplifier.

• Check all wires and connec-

tions between receiver/amplifier

and speakers. Make sure all wires

are connected. Make sure none

of the speaker wires are frayed,

cut, or punctured.

If there is low bass output,

check the following:

• Make sure the connections to

the left and right “Speaker

Inputs” have the correct polarity

(+ and –).

If the system plays at low vol-

umes but shuts off as volume is

increased, check the following:

• Check all wires and connec-

tions between receiver/amplifier

and speakers. Make sure all wires

are connected. Make sure none

of the speaker wires are frayed,

cut, or punctured.

• If more than one pair of main

speakers is being used, check the

minimum impedance require-

ments of your receiver/amplifier.
