FIGURE 2 - CABINET ENCLOSURE
When servicing these units (or for that matter most speaker
enclosures) Several precautions must be taken:
A. When removing the back, be careful when handling the
acoustical pads (they may tear easily).
B. All speakers must be securely fastened to prevent leaks and
rattles.
C. If the front grille is removed, be certain that the baffle is
tightly captivated by the mounting screws when reinstalled.
D. When replacing the back, be certain that the acoustic pads
don ’ t interfere with the port.
E. The screws holding the back must be secured by using a
sufficient amount of torque in order to prevent air leaks.
Normal positioning of this enclosure in a listening room would
be near a wall. While this would be normal, in fact, desirable,
caution must be taken to avoid placing this enclosure in any
position that would obstruct the port, as this would result in
degraded bass response. The desired positioning would be one
which allows at least 1% inches between the back of the
enclosure and the wall of the room (or similar obstruction).
