3
Do not install the SuperTweeter in the following conditions:
• Very warm or humid areas (such as near swimming pools, kitchens or bathrooms).
• Near to a fire or heating appliance.
• In direct sunlight.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS
Caution:
The titanium dome on this SuperTweeter is very delicate. Although protected by a metal
mesh, take care to avoid pressing on this during unpacking and installation, in case
damage results.
Each carton contains the following:
• SuperTweeter units x 2
• Support platforms x 2
To unpack, the SuperTweeters should be removed from their box complete with the inner
packaging. Always keep the packaging for future use.
UNPACKING INSTRUCTIONS
• High stiffness titanium dome to minimise effects of dome break-up and extend frequency
response.
• Copper clad aluminium voice coil on aluminium former for high power handling.
• Neodymium magnet system also extends frequency response by minimising eddy
current losses in voice coil.
• Provision for driver magnet system earthing, to avoid interference and information
masking caused by radio interference.
• Gold plated terminals for high signal transparency.
• Radio Frequency quality inductors in crossover for good high frequency characteristics.
• Non-Inductive resistors to avoid losses associated with normal wire wound types. High
quality polypropylene film capacitors, selected for high frequency use.
FEATURES
The SuperTweeter should be connected across your main speakers, positive (red) to positive
and negative (black) to negative. If appropriate, remove the plastic blanking plugs in the
terminals. Ensure your amplifier is switched off, and the volume control turned fully down
before beginning. Typical wiring configurations are shown in Fig. 1:
A. Typical single-wired installation. The SuperTweeter is simply connected across
your speaker terminals.
B. Bi-wiring installation. The SuperTweeter is connected across the HF terminals on your
loudspeaker.
For optimum performance, the central earth connection on the SuperTweeter should be
taken back to the amplifier chassis or ground point. This screening effect can give an
improvement in detail and clarity, depending on the amplifier used, by reducing radio
frequency interference.
